Kamen Rider Ryuki (character)
This is a list of characters of the 2002 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Ryuki.
The 13 Kamen Riders (13人の仮面ライダー Jūsannin no Kamen Raidā) are the central characters of the series. Thirteen Card Decks (カードデッキ Kādo Dekki) were created for thirteen Kamen Riders. The Riders make Contracts with monsters from the mysterious Mirror World (ミラーワールド Mirā Wārudo), a parallel dimension opposite to our own in which only the Kamen Riders can exist. The Riders draw on their monsters' strength in exchange for feeding them the life force of the creatures they destroy. The creator of the Advent Cards (アドベントカード Adobento Kādo) has only one rule: that there can be only one Kamen Rider. The others must be killed, and the sole victor will be granted a single wish, which leads to a conflict known as the Rider War.
Each Rider possesses their own Card Deck that contains the Advent Cards, the V-Buckle (Vバックル Bui Bakuru) belt which manifests whenever they put the deck up against the reflective surface before sliding the deck into the belt to complete the transformation, and the Ride Shooter (ライドシューター Raido Shūtā) motorcycle which serves as the Rider's transportation between the real world and the Mirror World. In battle, the Riders uses their Advent Cards in conjunction with their personal card readers called Visors (バイザー Baisā) to invoke various abilities that draws their strength from their Contract Monsters.
Shinji Kido (城戸 真司 Kido Shinji) is a good-hearted, friendly, naive idealist who works at the ORE Journal as a journalist trainee. He investigates a man named Koichi Sakakibara, whom disappeared, and finds a card deck in Koichi's apartment and eventually encounters a dragon, Dragreder, which attacked him but was then mysteriously repelled. Later that day, he falls into a car window and ends up being dragged to the Mirror World. He was attacked by Dispider then was saved by Ren Akiyama, Kamen Rider Knight. Shinji was told to stay out of the Rider conflict, but he decides to become a Kamen Rider to prevent Mirror Monsters from devouring humans and eventually, he contracts Dragreder and becomes Kamen Rider Ryuki (仮面ライダー龍騎 Kamen Raidā Ryūki) to protect people's lives and stop the Rider War. With the Survive Rekka card, the card he received from Shiro Kanzaki, he eventually gains the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Ryuki Survive (仮面ライダー龍騎サバイブ Kamen Raidā Ryūki Sabaibu).
