Main characters[]

Eiji Hino[]

Eiji Hino (火野 映司, Hino Eiji) is a politician's son who grew up in a lavish environment until his life was changed when he attempted to use his fortune to save a small African village, only to accidentally fund a civil war that killed a young girl he befriended. As a result, he renounced his lifestyle and became a wandering vagabond willing to help those in need. Returning to Japan to fund his travels, he takes a part-time job at the Kougami Art Museum, but encounters the Greeed Ankh, who gives him the means to transform into Kamen Rider OOO and convinces him to fight Ankh's fellow Greeed in exchange for Cell Medals. Eiji agrees on the condition that he be allowed to use his Rider powers to help others and later allies himself with the Kougami Foundation amidst his battles with the Greeed.

After falling victim to Kiyoto Maki and the purple Core Medals due to his lack of selfish desires, Eiji slowly becomes a Greeed himself until the Kougami Foundation's head, Kousei Kougami, tells him that the only way to counteract the purple Core Medals is to acquire a desire of his own. Recalling his desire to gain the power to help others, Eiji eventually purges the purple Core Medals from his body, but loses his Rider powers and Ankh after the latter gives his life to help Eiji defeat Maki. Following the battle, Eiji realizes the power he sought comes from those he has bonds with and resumes his travels in the hopes of finding a way to resurrect Ankh.

During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max, Eiji works with the Kougami Foundation as part of his efforts to resurrect Ankh. Eiji later receives help from a revived, future version of Ankh and regains his Rider powers during his and Kamen Rider Fourze's fight against Lem Kannagi. In the crossover film Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Rider, Eiji creates a temporary simulacrum of Ankh via a replica body created by Kaisei Mogami.

Eiji utilizes three Core Medals (コアメダル, Koa Medaru) in conjunction with the OOO Driver (オーズドライバー, Ōzu Doraibā) belt and the O Scanner (オースキャナー, Ō Sukyanā) device to transform into Kamen Rider OOO. Regardless of which form he is using, he also utilizes the Kougami Foundation's Medajaribur (メダジャリバー, Medajaribā) sword and Ride Vendor (ライドベンダー, Raido Bendā) motorcycle to combat the Greeed. The Core Medals themselves are coin-like items created by King OOO's alchemists 800 years prior to create artificial life, draw from different animal characteristics, and form the Greeed's core. Using the Core Medals, Eiji can assume Combo (コンボ, Konbo) forms via a specific color-coded set or mix and match using Core Medals of differing colors. In both cases, he can utilize and combine different animal powers in combat and perform Scanning Charge (スキャニングチャージ, Sukyaningu Chāji) finishers.

Eiji Hino is portrayed by Shu Watanabe (渡部 秀, Watanabe Shū).

Ankh[]

Ankh (アンク, Anku)^[b] is a dishonest bird-themed Greeed who believes he has the right to take whatever he wants, sees people for their flaws, and is at odds with the other Greeed due to being a wild card. As revealed in the Kamen Rider OOO tie-in novel, after the First OOO removed his tenth Core Medal to finalize his creation 800 years before the events of the series, Ankh met a blind girl and created a Yummy to restore her sight out of empathy due to his own dulled senses. However, Ankh regretted his decision after the girl died of fright upon learning that her sight came from people that the Yummy murdered for their eyes. Honoring the girl's last request to protect people, Ankh sided with the First OOO to battle the other Greed until the First OOO betrayed him to steal his Core Medals. After the First OOO was overwhelmed by the Medals' power and sealed the other Greeed, Ankh's right forearm and the Core Medal containing his consciousness were severed from his body, which was sealed separately. As a result, Ankh lost most of his power.

When the Greeed are unsealed in the present, Ankh finds he cannot reform his missing body and steals the other Greeed's Core Medals to handicap them, only to accidentally lose his remaining Taka Medals to Eiji. Ankh intends to regain his other lost Medals and power by enlisting Eiji as the new Kamen Rider OOO, but the latter proves difficult to manipulate, so Ankh reluctantly cooperates with him to save lives on the condition that they gather Cell Medals so Ankh can maintain his form. Along the way, Ankh possesses the body of half-dead Detective Shingo Izumi to blend in with humans, which allows him to fully experience human sensations, but causes him to grow envious of humans. However, Ankh slowly finds himself unable to harm Eiji and his friend Hina Izumi without a substantial reason.

As he regains some of his Core Medals, Ankh discovers what happened to the rest of his body after it develops a mind of its own and turns into Ankh (Lost). They subsequently compete to reabsorb each other under the belief that the weaker one will disappear forever. Ankh (Lost) initially proves victorious, but Eiji uses the purple Core Medals' power to kill him in retaliation for Ankh's apparent death, destroying three of the Greeed's red Core Medals in the process. Despite being able to reconstitute himself, Ankh finds he lost some of his power due to the Core Medals he lost and re-possesses Shingo before seemingly joining Maki and the other Greeed in the hopes of secretly manipulating Eiji into destroying the other Greeed so he can use all of their Core Medals to fully fuse himself with Shingo and become a true conscious being. While carrying out the scheme, he unconditionally gives the other Greeed their Core Medals back, a result of his being spoiled by his experiences with human senses and disgusted with his fellow Greeed.

However, Ankh finds himself unable to kill Eiji due to their history together and his newfound capacity for feeling deeper emotions and betrays Maki, who responds by breaking the Core Medal holding Ankh's consciousness. In spite of this, Ankh accepts his death and gives Eiji his remaining three Core Medals to counteract the latter's purple Core Medals long enough for Eiji to defeat Maki. After aiding him in the fight, Ankh's spirit appears before Eiji to express gratitude to him and others for allowing the former to live and die as a human before giving him and Hina his broken Core Medal.

During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max, a revived future version of Ankh travels back in time to help Eiji defeat Kamen Rider Poseidon.

In his true form, known as Ankh (Greeed) (アンク（グリード態）, Anku (Gurīdo-tai)), Ankh possesses abilities similar to Eiji's Tajadol Combo and can create bird-themed Yummy that attack people to extract an attribute and feed it to their host similarly to how mother birds feed their chicks. While possessing Shingo, Ankh uses his host's iPhone 4 and an iPad to gather information on the current era as well as keep track of who owns which Core Medals before receiving the O Medal Holder from Hina to store Core Medals in.

Ankh is portrayed by Ryosuke Miura (三浦 涼介, Miura Ryōsuke).^[6]

Hina Izumi[]

Hina Izumi (泉 比奈, Izumi Hina) is Shingo's sister who works at the Cous Coussier restaurant and possesses superhuman strength, which she expresses embarrass towards. Following the Greeed's awakening, Shingo's death, and Ankh possessing Shingo, Eiji initially uses her brother's phone to tell Hina Shingo is on a deep-cover mission before eventually telling her the truth and vowing to save Shingo. Realizing Eiji's reasons for looking after Ankh and Shingo, Hina convinces Eiji to work at Cous Coussier so she can care for her brother's body and use her strength to keep Ankh in line. She also comes to realize that she relies on Eiji's desire to help to an unhealthy degree, takes steps to ensure he does not blindly sacrifice himself for other people's sake, and cares for Ankh as if he were her brother.

Hina Izumi is portrayed by Riho Takada (高田 里穂, Takada Riho).

Kougami Foundation[]

The Kougami Foundation (鴻上ファウンデーション, Kōgami Faundēshon) is a public organization that has been researching the Greeed and the civilization that created them ever since the company acquired the sarcophagus holding them and their Core Medals, which they placed in the Kougami Art Museum's (鴻上美術館, Kōgami Bijutsukan) basement. As a result, they renamed the basement the King's Room and developed many Cell Medal-based devices and weaponry. When the Greeed re-awaken and a new Kamen Rider OOO is found, the Kougami Foundation provide assistance to the latter.

Kousei Kougami[]

Kousei Kougami (鴻上 光生, Kōgami Kōsei) is the eccentric president of the Kougami Foundation and a descendant of the First OOO. Well versed in the history of OOO and the Core Medals, he has anticipated the Greeed's awakening and amassed several Cell Medals and artifacts related to them and OOO. Displaying an obsession for the birth of all things, good or bad, Kougami loves baking cakes, commonly birthday cakes, built his office over a bakery, always has a record player in his office that usually plays "Happy Birthday", and provides items to OOO through presents. Additionally, Kougami is easily excited and becomes incredibly enthusiastic over events related to the OOO/Greeed conflict and the birth of new developments, shouting "splendid!" (素晴らしい！, subarashii) at things that please him and "happy birthday!" whenever something new happens. In addition, he believes desires are the purest and most powerful energy source in existence and that it plays a major role in the evolution of life on Earth. This belief is so strong, he encourages everyone around him to succumb to their own desires and do whatever they want as long as it does not interfere with his own desires, sees OOO as the means to ensure an unlimited supply of energy, and wishes to have the purple Core Medals destroyed as soon as possible as they represent the opposite of desire.

During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max, it is revealed that Kougami began researching methods for creating new Core Medals that run on desire alone and developed the Poseidon Driver, which he gave to Michal Minato forty years after the series.

Kousei Kougami is portrayed by Takashi Ukaji (宇梶 剛士, Ukaji Takashi).

Erika Satonaka[]

Erika Satonaka (里中 エリカ, Satonaka Erika) is Kousei Kougami's personal secretary and cake tester who sees things from a business-related point of view. Despite her job, she prefers spicy foods and is capable of holding her own in battle against Yummies. After Goto becomes the new Kamen Rider Birth, Satonaka becomes his partner despite being his superior, carrying her own Birth Buster and a suitcase containing additional supplies such as Cell Medals. However, she is often late to battles due to obsessing over her appearance, much to Goto's chagrin.

Erika Satonaka is portrayed by Mayuko Arisue (有末 麻祐子, Arisue Mayuko).

Kamen Rider Birth[]

Kamen Rider Birth (仮面ライダーバース, Kamen Raidā Bāsu) is an exoskeleton suit created by Kiyoto Maki powered by Cell Medals (セルメダル, Seru Medaru) as opposed to OOO's Core Medals. Operators of the Birth System utilize the Birth Driver (バースドライバー, Bāsu Doraibā) belt to transform, wield the Birth Buster (バースバスター, Bāsu Basutā) machine gun, which uses Cell Medals as ammo, and the Birth CLAWS (バースクローズ, Bāsu Kurōzu) units, all of which function as Cell Medal magnets. Summoning all of the Birth CLAWS units allows the operator to become Kamen Rider Birth Day (仮面ライダーバースデイ, Kamen Raidā Bāsu Dei) and combine them into the scorpion-like CLAWS Sasori (クローズサソリ, Kurōzu Sasori) for combat assistance.

Additionally, Maki developed a prototypical version called Kamen Rider Birth Prototype (仮面ライダーバース・プロトタイプ, Kamen Raidā Bāsu Purototaipu), which unlike its complete counterpart, can only summon two of the Birth CLAWS units.

Shintaro Goto[]

Shintaro Goto (後藤 慎太郎, Gotō Shintarō) is a former police officer who works for the Kougami Foundation to keep the world safe from the Greeed and eventually becomes Eiji's friend. Despite initially using the prototype Birth system, Goto eventually succeeds his mentor Date as the current operator of the complete Birth System.

Shintaro Goto is portrayed by Asaya Kimijima (君嶋 麻耶, Kimijima Asaya).

Akira Date[]

Akira Date (伊達 明, Date Akira) is a young combat medic who prefers getting his job done perfectly, rather than enjoying what he does. He initially traveled the world before returning to Japan, where he was hired by the Kougami Foundation to become the first user of the Kamen Rider Birth system.^[7] Due to a cranial injury preventing him from using the Birth System for extended periods of time, Date eventually leaves Japan to undergo a life-saving surgery. Following its success, he returns months later and uses the prototype Birth System to assist Goto in his fight against the Greeed.

Akira Date is portrayed by Hiroaki Iwanaga (岩永 洋昭, Iwanaga Hiroaki).^[7]

Greeed[]

The Greeed (グリード, Gurīdo)^[c] are coin-based homunculi created by the First OOO via the power of 50 core medals as part of his plan to achieve godhood 800 years ago. Originally mindless, the Greeed attained sentience after one medal from each of their respective sets was destroyed. However, they lack true life and crave endlessly, cursed with a void in them that can never be filled, possess distorted sensory input (e.g., colors are washed out, taste is nonexistent, sounds are muffled and distorted), and are incapable of feeling deeper emotions such as love. As such, the Greeed became bent on consuming everything around them in a vain attempt at experiencing what humans normally take for granted, only to be sealed by the First OOO after he stole their Core Medals and was overwhelmed by their power.

When the seal is undone in the present, Ankh steals some of his fellow Greeed's Core Medals to handicap them due to his being unable to completely reform his body. In response, the remaining Greeed create Yummy to find Ankh, regain their stolen Medals, and gather Cell Medals to maintain their physical forms. Upon realizing how much humanity changed in the intervening years, the Greeed mimic human forms to blend in.

Each Greeed possesses nine Core Medals, which allow them to maintain their powers and armored forms so long as they do not lose them. If they lose all but one, they become unable to maintain their Greeed forms and suffer terrible pain, though Uva is able to maintain his armored head and right forearm.^[8] If a Greeed absorbs too many foreign Core Medals at once and lack most or all of their personal nine to counteract them, their body will destabilize from the excess power and transform them into a giant chimeric monster called a Mega Greeed (巨大グリード, Kyodai Gurīdo). If all five Core Medal sets are incorporated into a Greeed's body, they will transform into a Medal Vessel (メダルの器, Medaru no Utsuwa), a giant container that converts all nearby matter into Cell Medals. Moreover, a Greeed's consciousness is contained in one of their corresponding Core Medals. Destruction of this Medal will permanently destroy the Greeed. If their body is destroyed, but the medal containing their consciousness remains, it can act autonomously and possess human bodies.

Kazari[]

Kazari (カザリ)^[d] is a feline-themed Greeed and an arrogant schemer who assumes the form of a silver-haired young man in a yellow checkered blazer. Having lost the least amount of Core Medals out of all the Greeed, he discovers that a third party is involved in the search for the Medals and breaks off to learn more about the group. Along the way, Kazari meets Kiyoto Maki and aligns himself with the scientist to find his missing Core Medals, diverting from the Greeed's original goal of consumption to evolution. This new ideology leads to Kazari using Gamel, Mezool, and Uva as test subjects to experiment with the idea of a Greeed possessing foreign Core Medals. In spite of Gamel and Mezool being killed in the process, Kazari deems the experiment a success and absorbs three of Mezool's and two of Gamel's to undergo a controlled evolution. Using his new powers, Kazari temporarily gets all but one of his own Core Medals back and regains his complete form, but loses two of his to Eiji.

Following this, Kazari eventually recruits Ankh (Lost) to his cause and convinces Maki to leave the Kougami Foundation. Upon learning Uva is attempting to revive Gamel and Mezool, Kazari assists him by giving up his additional powers before manipulating Gamel and Mezool into joining him. After Ankh and Uva join the group however, Kazari becomes upset by this development, but is forced to bide his time until he regains his Core Medals. Eventually, Kazari manipulates Gamel into taking the other Greeed's Core Medals and damaging Kamen Rider Birth to regain his complete form, but Eiji uses the purple Core Medals' power to damage the Core Medal holding Kazari's consciousness. Kazari survives the attack, but Maki steals his remaining intact Medals and leaves the Greeed to die.

In his complete form, Kazari possesses super-speed, aerokinesis, and the ability to use his dreadlocks like tendrils. His cat-themed Yummy are parasitic in nature, possessing the human and forcing them to partake in their desire even at the risk of their lives until they reach their complete form and consume the host. After absorbing Mezool and Gamel's Core Medals, Kazari gains their powers and the ability to create hybrid Yummy.

Kazari is portrayed by (橋本 汰斗, Hashimoto Taito).^[9][10]

Uva[]

Uva (ウヴァ)^[e] is an insect-themed Greeed and the most hot-headed of his kind who assumes the form of a young man wearing a green leather jacket in order to blend in with society. Having lost the most Core Medals compared to the other Greeed, Uva is the first to try and find Ankh in the hopes of regaining them. After Kazari kills Gamel and Mezool while in pursuit of his desire to evolve, Uva decides to act on his own and find his own form of evolution through the Core Medals. Despite coming into possession of some of Gamel and Mezool's Medals, Uva saves them in favor of seeding people with Waste Yummy and using them to produce a massive amount of Cell Medals so he can drastically increase his power and resurrect the fallen Greeed. He succeeds in both tasks, but Gamel and Mezool betray him and join Kazari and Ankh (Lost) in destroying Uva's body. As the Core Medal containing his consciousness survived, Uva possesses a man named Kusada and uses him to recreate his body before supporting Ankh in his fight against Kazari. Along the way, Uva regains all of his Core Medals, but is mortally wounded by Eiji via the First OOO's Core Medals and overloaded by Maki via the other Greeed's Core Medals. As a result, Uva is forcibly transformed into the Medal Vessel Chaos Form (メダルの器 暴走形態, Medaru no Utsuwa Bōsō Keitai), which Eiji eventually destroys.

In his complete form, Uva is able to jump long distances and discharge lightning from the claws on his right arm and the horns on his head. His insect-themed Yummy pull themselves out of their host's bodies, then either seek out and physically consume the object of their progenitor's desire or carry out an extreme version of their host's desire before molting into their complete forms in both cases. Additionally, Uva typically remains in contact with the host to some degree and is the only Greeed who chooses to create and command the weaker Waste Yummy (屑ヤミー, Kuzu Yamī).

Uva is portrayed by (山田 悠介, Yamada Yūsuke).^[9]

Gamel[]

Gamel (ガメル, Gameru)^[f] is a heavy animal-themed Greeed who possesses the mentality of a dimwitted, spoiled child, which makes him difficult to work with, and possesses an to Mezool. Upon his awakening, he loses four Core Medals to an unknown party and takes on the form of a young man dressed in a grey mesh shirt over a black undershirt. Due to his low intelligence, he is easily manipulated by Kazari into absorbing Mezool and Uva's Core Medals. While they temporarily restore his complete form, Gamel suffers from energy overload until Mezool absorbs him.

Following her transformation into a Mega Greeed and subsequent destruction, Gamel's Core Medals are divided amongst the surviving Greeed until Uva eventually revives him and Mezool and the revived Greeed join forces with Kazari and Ankh (Lost). After Ankh recovers and gives Gamel the rest of his remaining Core Medals and Mezool's death, a grief-stricken Gamel attacks people using his Cell Medal production powers in a futile attempt to resurrect her, but Maki damages two of Gamel's Core Medals and Goto and Date work together to permanently destroy Gamel.

In his complete form, Gamel possesses the most physical strength of the Greeed, gauntlet armored fists, gyrokinesis, can form a trunk from his face, the ability to consume inedible matter, and the ability to turn anything he touches into Cell Medals. Unlike the other Greeed, Gamel uses his own body to create his large animal-themed Yummy upon observing a particular behavior he wants to mimic; satiating his own desires. As a result, the created Yummy are composed of a single Cell Medal.

Gamel is portrayed by Hiroyuki Matsumoto (松本 博之, Matsumoto Hiroyuki).^[9][11]

Mezool[]

Mezool (メズール, Mezūru)^[g] is an aquatic animal-themed Greeed and the only female of the group. She comes off as the kindest Greeed due in part to her methods being able to provide enough Cell Medals for both herself and the other Greeed, and serves as a mother figure as her desire is to know and feel true love. Following her awakening, she assumes the form of a teenage girl typically dressed in blue clothing.

After losing most of her remaining Core Medals to Kazari and being attacked by Uva, she discovers Gamel absorbed her Core Medals and absorbs him in turn. However, due to the excess number of foreign Core Medals he previously absorbed and not having enough of her own to counteract the overload, the unstable Mezool temporarily regains her complete form until Maki adds two of Uva's Core Medals and several thousand Cell Medals to turn her into the mindless leviathan-like Mega Greeed Out of Control (巨大グリード暴走態, Kyodai Gurīdo Bōsōtai). She is eventually destroyed by Kamen Riders OOO and Birth, with the Core Medals that contributed to her transformation being divided amongst Ankh, Uva, and Kazari.

After Uva manages to revive her and Gamel, Mezool sides with Kazari, Ankh (Lost), and Gamel to regain her Core Medals until Ankh returns them to her. Spurred on by Maki, she breaks off on her own to achieve her desire by abducting several mother/child pairs and sealing them in her Yummy eggs to drain the love and life from them. However, Eiji uses the purple Core Medals' power to shatter three of her Core Medals, permanently killing her and causing her to die in Gamel's arms.

In her complete form, Mezool has the ability to generate torrents of water from her hands, possesses incredible agility, and can liquefy her body. Her marine life-themed Yummy, which first become roe-like eggs, feed indirectly off their host's desire while forming a "nest" that incubates over a period of time while the host indulges their desire. Their presence mostly concealed until the Yummy eggs hatch into their complete forms and are compelled to return to Mezool and break up into many Cell Medals for her and the Greeed to ingest.

Mezool is voiced by Yukana (ゆかな),^[9] while her human form is portrayed by Honoka Miki (未来 穂香, Miki Honoka).^[12][13]

Ankh (Lost)[]

Ankh (Lost) (アンク（ロスト）, Anku (Rosuto)) is a Greeed that came into being when Ankh transferred the Core Medal containing his consciousness into his right arm before it was severed from the rest of his body when he and the other Greeed were sealed. Without Ankh's consciousness, the body entered a state of suspended animation and eventually became a separate being with a child-like mind and the desire to become whole. After Kougami extracts one of his remaining Core Medals, Ankh (Lost) awakens, travels across Japan in search of Ankh, and makes himself known after creating Yummy that acted on his desires. Ankh (Lost) later allies himself with Kazari and Maki, replicating the form of young boy to blend in with society while his personality gradually develops into one similar to Ankh's. Combined with tutoring from Kazari and the other Greeed, Ankh (Lost) executes a complex and eventually successful plan to absorb Ankh while his guard is down. Despite seemingly succeeding, Ankh (Lost) finds that Ankh continues to resist as the latter had secretly given Hina Izumi one of his Core Medals at the last second. In his attempt to complete his victory, Ankh (Lost) is eventually destroyed by Eiji, who shatters the three Core Medals that cemented his existence.

Compared to the original, Ankh (Lost) retains almost all of Ankh's powers and his bird-themed Yummy share the same attributes as Ankh's. Additionally, his Greeed form resembles Ankh's Greeed form, albeit with an incomplete right side.^[14]

Ankh (Lost) is voiced by Miyu Irino (入野 自由, Irino Miyu) while his human form is portrayed by (飛田 光里, Tobita Hikari).

Shingo Izumi (泉 信吾, Izumi Shingo) is Hina Izumi's older brother and a police detective. Following the Greeed's awakening, he is mortally wounded by the Mantis Yummy then subsequently possessed by Ankh, who slowly reanimates Shingo over the course of the series until Ankh and Ankh (Lost) compete to absorb each other. While he was possessed, Shingo experiences everything Ankh does to his body. After Ankh sacrifices himself to help Eiji Hino defeat Kiyoto Maki, a fully revived Shingo resumes his work as a police detective.

She enjoys cosplaying and frequently changes her restaurant's decor to fit different cultural themes as a means to attract more customers. Despite hiring Hina, Eiji, and Shintaro Goto and allowing Ankh to live at Cous Coussier, Shiraishi remains unaware of their battles with the Greeed until Eiji's transformation into a Greeed and Ankh's near destruction convinces Hina to tell Shiraishi the truth.

Chiyoko Shiraishi is portrayed by Marie Kai (甲斐 まり恵, Kai Marie), who also portrays Hitomi Maki.

First OOO[]

The King of a mysterious lost European civilization whose ball of desire (欲望の塊, yokubō no katamari) and god complex led to him becoming the First OOO (先代オーズ, Sendai Ōzu) 800 years ago. In pursuit of godhood, he commissioned Gara and three other alchemists to create the Greeed and their Core Medals so he could hunt them and use their power to subjugate his enemies. Eventually, the King's avarice drove him to unite the Core Medals' power, only for them to overwhelm him and transform his body into a stone coffin that sealed four of the Greeed and Ankh's right arm for centuries. The King's only known descendant, Kousei Kougami, attempts to finish his work in the present through Eiji Hino.

Similarly to Eiji, the King also utilizes the OOO Driver and O Scanner to transformation into Kamen Rider OOO, though he possessed stronger versions of the Taka, Tora, and Batta Core Medals.

Kiyoto Maki[]

Kiyoto Maki (真木 清人, Maki Kiyoto) is a deadpan, nihilistic scientist who serves as the overseer of the Kougami Foundation's Kougami Biotech Laboratory (鴻上生体研究所, Kōgami Seitai Kenkyūjo) and devised their Medal System. After suffering emotional abuse from his older sister and legal guardian, Hitomi Maki (真木 仁美, Maki Hitomi), and murdering her via arson, Maki came to believe that one's true value is defined by how it ends. However, he repressed the memory and deluded himself into believing Hitomi was a loving sister and that her death was an accident. Also as a result of the incident, Maki struggles with social communication and when faced with conversing with someone, he will instead speak to a doll named "Kiyo-chan" (キヨちゃん) that he was given sometime prior and treasures as if it were a real person. In fact, this bond is so strong, Maki will become unable to speak properly and agitated if Kiyo-chan is separated from his person.

Moreover, Maki prefers studying the Greeed, but is forced to work on the Kougami Foundation's Core and Cell Medal-related projects to fund his own research. His fixation with the Greeed would lead to Maki forming an alliance with the Greeed Kazari to assist in his experiment with Core Medal-based evolution. However, Kousei Kougami discovers what happened and threatens Maki into ending his partnership with Kazari, who retaliates by using him as the host for the Orca-Panda Yummy. This would lead to Maki ending up in the care of Chiyoko Shiraishi, whom he previously developed an obsession with due to her resemblance to Hitomi. Her kindness unlocks the repressed memory and causes Maki to reaffirm his belief that the world should end before he steals the purple Core Medals from Kougami, detonates his laboratory, and fully aligns himself with the Greeed in the hopes of using them to end the world.

To facilitate his goal further, Maki absorbs five of the purple Core Medals in order to transform into the Dinosaur Greeed (恐竜グリード, Kyōryū Gurīdo).^[15] Over time, he kills Kazari and mortally wounds Gamel and Ankh for their Core Medals before using them and those of Mezool's on Uva to turn him into a Medal Vessel. Leaving Kiyo-chan in Shiraishi's care as he no longer needs the doll, Maki faces Eiji and Ankh in combat. While they defeat him and cause him to collapse into a black hole, Maki takes delight in his death.

Via the purple Core Medals, Maki can use Cell Medals on inanimate objects that represent the end of a desire, such as broken dreams, to create dinosaur and mythical animal-themed Yummy.

Kiyoto Maki is portrayed by (神尾 佑, Kamio Yū).^[16] As a child, Maki is portrayed by Hayato Watanabe (渡辺 隼斗, Watanabe Hayato).

However, Ankh's failed attempt to use Kamen Rider Den-O's DenLiner to travel through time and steal the other Greeed's Core Medals results in Shocker obtaining a Cell Medal that Ankh dropped and combining it with the Shocker Core Medal to create the Shocker Greeed, who defeats Kamen Riders One and Two in the past and creates an alternate timeline where Shocker conquered the world, with One and Two as their brainwashed enforcers. However, a failed attempt to undo the Shocker Greeed's creation creates a time paradox that allows One and Two to fake their brainwashing and eventually destroy the Shocker Greeed in the altered present while the Shocker Core Medal fades away after the original timeline is restored.

The Shocker Greeed is voiced by Hideo Ishikawa (石川 英郎, Ishikawa Hideo).

Tokugawa Yoshimune[]

However, the First OOO killed Gara and his fellow alchemists once they completed the commission, with Gara buried in Thuringia. After being revived in the present when Kousei Kougami unearths his tomb, Gara uses his alchemy to transfer his tower from Thuringia to Japan before capturing Kougami and Erika Satonaka and possessing Satsuki Wakaba (若葉 五月, Wakaba Satsuki). Believing that world has changed little since his death, Gara takes the Core Medals back and gathers human desire to cause three time distortions in order to bring about a doomsday scenario. Nevertheless, Kougami tricks Gara into using Eiji, whose lack of desire damages the machine Gara was using to execute his plans. After Eiji rescues Wakaba, Gara assumes his true Greeed-like Inhumanoid Form (怪人態, Kaijintai), only to be defeated by Kamen Riders OOO and Fourze. In response, Gara uses the Core Medals to transmute himself into the Mega Greeed-like Gara Dragon (ガラドラゴン, Gara Doragon), but is destroyed by Kamen Riders OOO and Birth.
