Souji Tendou
Souji Tendou (天道 総司, Tendō Sōji?, portrayed by Hiro Mizushima), the Zecter's wearer, is a mysterious, quiet 21-year old man who often seems to follow monk-like philosophies of peace. His name literally means "Path of Heaven" (天道, Tendō?), "Ruler of All" (総司, Sōji?)" and he always uses it to introduce himself ("Walking the path of Heaven, the man who will rule everything." (天の道を行き、総べてを司る男。, Ten no michi o Iki, Subete o Tsukasadoru otoko.?)). Tendou\ often spouts amazingly appropriate zen-like phrases he supposedly learned from his grandmother, prefacing them with "Grandmother used to say..." (お母ちゃんが言っていた, Obaachan ga Itteita?). He also often does a 'point to the sky' pose, usually after he defeats a Worm or introduces himself. Tendou has no actual job and does not attend college because he believes that he is destined for something bigger (which is becoming Kabuto). Despite having many talents (from cooking to hairstyling to excelling at various sports to the extent that he can handle entire teams alone), he is usually uninterested in pursuing anything until his belt activates. He calls himself a "National Treasure" and "Universal Treasure". Tendou stays in a big home with his little sister Juka, loves cooking, and seems to have an interest in Kagami's co-worker, Hiyori. As a result, he is a regular customer at Bistro La Salle. Because of his abilities and outlook, combined with his talent of being a step ahead of those around him, Tendou is somewhat rude, and exceedingly arrogant at first glance. However, this serious personality holds back the caring emotions he has for others. His feelings for his two sisters are among the few things that can break his serious demeanor, as Hiyori Kusakabe is also Souji's little sister. However, Souji's parents were murdered and mimicked by Natives years before the Worms arrived on Earth, and although the original Hiyori Kusakabe died with them before birth she was soon "reborn" as a Native/Worm.
Masked Form
Kabuto's Masked Form (マスクドフォーム, Masukudo Fōmu?) is a heavily armored form resembling a pupa that has very little offensive capabilities. This is the default form that Kabuto transforms into, until he flips the "horn" on the Kabuto Zecter, like a switch, to initiate the Cast Off (キャストオフ, Kyasuto Ofu?) command. This primes the armor to "cast off," then, when fully activated, sends the armor flying off his form, destroying all lower Worms that make contact with the armor. Once this happens, Kabuto then immediately takes on the sleek Rider Form.[1]
[edit] Rider Form
Kabuto's Rider Form (ライダーフォーム, Raidā Fōmu?) is the sleeker and more offensive-based form which more resembles the Japanese rhinoceros beetle on which Kabuto is named after and themed. It is in this form that Kabuto has access to the Clock Up (クロックアップ, Kurokku Appu?) command which allows Kabuto to travel at near-light speeds to match the speeds of the Worms. By pressing three buttons on the belt in succession, Kabuto can perform his tachyon-powered Rider Kick (ライダーキック, Raidā Kikku?). Kabuto Rider Form has three variations of Rider Kick: normal 180 degree roundhouse kick, counter kick (360 degree roundhouse kick, used to surprise opponents who are trying to attack him from behind), and flying side kick.[1]
[edit] Hyper Form
Kabuto is the only Rider in Kabuto (with the exception of Gatack in the Hyper Battle DVD with the aid of another Hyper Zecter from the future) who can achieve Hyper Form (ハイパーフォーム, Haipā Fōmu?), a stronger version of Rider Form. While Kamen Rider Caucasus used the Hyper Zecter, he was unable to utilize Hyper Form or Hyper Clock Up. Accessed through the Hyper Zecter (ハイパーゼクター, Haipā Zekutā?), a futuristic Zecter made by ZECT and predestined to be used by Tendou, it activates the Hyper Cast Off (ハイパーキャストオフ, Haipā Kyasuto Ofu?) command to unleash its full power. It also has the Hyper Clock Up (ハイパークロックアップ, Haipā Kurokku Appu?), a much faster version of the Clock Up able to travel through time due to its hypersonic speed properties. The maximum range of this time travel is unknown, but it has shown to be able to travel back at least seven years. Kabuto is also able to take objects back in time with him, the most impressive example being a huge meteor in the movie. His finisher in this form is the Flying Rider Kick Hyper Kick (ハイパーキック, Haipā Kikku?). While the original Hyper Zecter from the present was destroyed by Zect to prevent Tendou from getting it, one from the future appeared in his hand to replace it. It is also equipped with a jetpack-like device on the back, allowing Kabuto to fly in this form, though its usually only used to gain height for the Hyper Kick but his alternate self from God Speed Love, he used this device to fly through space, even pushing a meteor far larger than himself.[2]
