List of Kamen Rider Blade characters

Kamen Rider Blade (仮面ライダー剣（ブレイド）, Kamen Raidā Bureido) is a Japanese tokusatsu series that serves as the 14th installment in the Kamen Rider franchise and the fifth entry in the Heisei era.

Main characters

Kazuma Kenzaki

Kazuma Kenzaki (剣崎 一真, Kenzaki Kazuma) is a kind-hearted BOARD operative who believes in fighting to protect humanity. He was chosen to use the Rider System 02 to seal the Undead as Kamen Rider Blade. While his Rider powers eventually end up turning him into a Joker over the course of the second half of the series, he uses this to force the Battle Fight into a stalemate and allow his friend Hajime to continue living among humans.

Utilizing the Rider System 02, which consists of the Change Beetle (チェンジビートル, Chenji Bītoru) card and the Blay Buckle (ブレイバックル, Burei Bakkuru) belt, Kenzaki can transform into Kamen Rider Blade. While transformed, he wields the Blay Rouzer (ブレイラウザー, Burei Rauzā) sword, which doubles as his primary weapon and a storage unit for his deck of spade-themed Rouse Cards (ラウズカード, Rauzu Kādo), which he can use to channel the Category Spade Undeads' powers to augment himself and perform special attacks. Additionally, he wields Proper Blank cards, which allow him to seal the Undead. Later in the series, he gains access to the Rouse Absorber (ラウズアブゾーバー, Rauzu Abuzōbā) brace, which he can use in conjunction with the Absorb Capricorn (アブゾーブカプリコーン, Abuzōbu Kapurikōn) card and other special Rouse Cards to assume the following stronger forms:

• Jack Form (ジャックフォーム, Jakku Fōmu): Kenzaki's super form accessed from the Absorb Capricorn and Fusion Eagle (フュージョンイーグル, Fyūjon īguru) cards that enhances his Blay Rouzer into a blade-extended Empowered Type (強化型, Kyōka-gata) and grants flight capabilities.
• King Form (キングフォーム, Kingu Fōmu): Kenzaki's ultimate form accessed from the Absorb Capricorn and Evolution Caucasus (エボリューションコーカサス, Eboryūshon Kōkasasu) cards that fuses him with the rest of his Rouse Card deck and arms him with the King Rouzer (キングラウザー, Kingu Rauzā) broadsword.

Kazuma Kenzaki is portrayed by Takayuki Tsubaki (椿 隆之, Tsubaki Takayuki).

Sakuya Tachibana

Sakuya Tachibana (橘 朔也, Tachibana Sakuya) is a BOARD researcher turned field operative who was selected to use the Rider System 01 to seal the Undead as Kamen Rider Garren (仮面ライダーギャレン, Kamen Raidā Gyaren). Unlike Kenzaki, Tachibana fights to seal the Undead to stave off his death from cellular breakdown, which he blames on his superior Karasuma, and displays a rivalry with Kenzaki, who was chosen to provide backup for Tachibana. After learning from a Karasuma body double that his subconscious fears are causing his condition, Tachibana joins forces with Isaka in exchange for Schuld Kestner seaweed to cure himself despite it intensifying his aggression and slowly damaging his nervous system. When Isaka kills his girlfriend, Sayako Fukasawa, Tachibana overcomes his fear and seals him. Following this, he goes on to take Mutsuki Kamijo under his wing and settle his differences with the Giraffa Undead.

As of the web-exclusive crossover series Kamen Rider Outsiders, Tachibana has become the president of BOARD.

Utilizing the Rider System 01, which consists of the Change Stag (チェンジスタッグ, Chenji Sutaggu) card and the Garren Buckle (ギャレンバックル, Gyaren Bakkuru) belt, Tachibana can transform into Kamen Rider Garren. While transformed, he wields the Garren Rouzer (ギャレンラウザー, Gyaren Rauzā) handgun, which doubles as his primary weapon and a storage unit for his deck of diamond-themed Rouse Cards, which allow him to channel the Category Diamond Undeads' powers to augment himself and perform special attacks. Like Kenzaki, Tachibana also wields Proper Blank cards to seal the Undead. Later in the series, the latter gains access to his own Rouse Absorber, which he can use in conjunction with the Absorb Serpent (アブゾーブサーペント, Abuzōbu Sāpento) card and other special Rouse Cards to assume the following stronger forms:

• Jack Form: Tachibana's super form accessed from the Absorb Serpent and Fusion Peacock (フュージョンピーコック, Fyūjon Pīkokku) cards that enhances his Garren Rouzer into a bayonet-like Empowered Type and grants flight capabilities.
• King Form: Tachibana's ultimate form accessed from the Absorb Serpent and Evolution Giraffa (エボリューションギラファ, Eboryūshon Girafa) cards that fuses him with the Category King Rouse Card

and arms him with a rifle version of the King Rouzer. This form appears exclusively in the web-exclusive crossover series Kamen Rider Outsiders.

Sakuya Tachibana is portrayed by Kousei Amano (天野 浩成, Amano Kōsei).

Hajime Aikawa

The Joker (ジョーカー, Jōkā), also known by his human alias "Hajime Aikawa" (相川 始, Aikawa Hajime), is a mysterious and infamous Undead whose victory in the Battle Fight results in the end of all life on Earth. After the Human Undead won the original Battle Fight, he willingly surrendered himself to Joker to help him hide his presence. When the Undead were released two years prior to the series, Joker re-sealed the Mantis and Human Undead. However, the Royal Undead knew of his use of the latter and mounted attempts on Joker's life, with the most recent leading to the death of photographer, Kurihara. Upon learning of the photographer's family, Joker took on the identity of freelance photographer "Hajime Aikawa" and vowed to protect them in atonement. Initially holding a low opinion of humanity, Hajime slowly comes to accept them due to his time with the young Amane Kurihara.

Over the course of the series, Hajime develops rivalries with Kazuma Kenzaki and Sakuya Tachibana, though he gradually warms up to them, eventually considering the former a dear friend of his. Once all of the other Undead are sealed, Hajime loses control of his Undead powers until Kenzaki sacrifices his humanity to force the current Battle Fight into a stalemate so Hajime can resume his human life.

In an alternate ending depicted in the film Kamen Rider Blade: Missing Ace, Kenzaki seals Hajime, though he eventually frees him four years later to help defeat the Albino Joker. Ultimately, Hajime sacrifices himself to do so, though his spirit continues to watch over Amane.

Unlike the BOARD-sanctioned Riders, Hajime utilizes the Chalice Rouzer (カリスラウザー, Karisu Rauzā) belt, which allows him to transform into sealed Undead via their corresponding Rouse Cards. As such, he can use the Change Mantis (チェンジマンティス, Chenji Mantisu) card to transform into the Mantis Undead, which became known as Kamen Rider Chalice (仮面ライダーカリス, Kamen Raidā Karisu) due to its resemblance to Kamen Riders, and the Spirit (スピリット, Supiritto) card to transform into the Human Undead, which became his human form. While transformed, he wields the bladed Chalice Arrow (カリスアロー, Karisu Arō) bow, which can switch between Rouzing Bow Mode (醒弓モード, Seikyū Mōdo) and Blade Mode (ブレードモード, Burēdo Mōdo) as well as serve as a storage unit for his heart-themed Rouse Cards, which allows him to channel the Category Heart Undeads' powers to augment himself and perform special attacks.

Using the Evolution Paradoxa (エボリューションパラドキサ, Eboryūshon Paradokisa) card, Hajime can fuse himself with his entire card deck and transform into Kamen Rider Wild Chalice (仮面ライダーワイルドカリス, Kamen Raidā Wairudo Karisu). In this form, he wields the Wild Slasher (ワイルドスラッシャー, Wairudo Surasshā) kama, which he can either wield in their twin Rouzing Sickle Mode (醒鎌モード, Seiren Mōdo) or combine with the Chalice Arrow to access the former's Rouzing Bow Mode, and can fuse all of his Rouse Cards into the singular Wild (ワイルド, Wairudo) card.

Hajime Aikawa is portrayed by Ryoji Morimoto (森本 亮治, Morimoto Ryōji).

Mutsuki Kamijo

Mutsuki Kamijo (上城 睦月, Kamijō Mutsuki) is a weak-willed high school student who was chosen by the improperly sealed Spider Undead to reluctantly utilize the Rider System 03 and become Kamen Rider Leangle (仮面ライダーレンゲル, Kamen Raidā Rengeru). While under the monster's control, Mutsuki battles the other Kamen Riders until the sealed Tiger and Tarantula Undead give him the strength to fight under his own power, overcome the Spider Undead, and seal it properly. Soon after, Mutsuki joins the other Riders in their fight against the remaining Undead.

Utilizing the Rider System 03, which consists of the Change Spider (チェンジスパイダー, Chenji Supaidā) card and the Leangle Buckle (レンゲルバックル, Rengeru Bakkuru) belt, Mutsuki can transform into Kamen Rider Leangle. While transformed, he wields the Leangle Rouzer (レンゲルラウザー, Rengeru Rauzā) staff, which doubles as his primary weapon and a storage unit for his deck of club-themed Rouse Cards, which he can use to channel the Category Club Undeads' powers to augment himself and perform special attacks.

During the events of the stage show Kamen Rider Blade 20th Anniversary Stage, Mutsuki gains access to his own Rouse Absorber, which he can use in conjunction with the Absorb Tiger (アブゾーブタイガー, Abuzōbu Taigā) and Evolution Tarantula (エボリューションタランチュラ, Eboryūshon Taranchura) cards to assume his own King Form that fuses him with the Category King Rouse Card and arms him with a staff version of the King Rouzer.

Undead

The Undead (アンデッド, Andeddo) are 54 immortal animal/plant/playing card-themed monsters who originated several species that inhabit Earth and were created by the "Monolith" (モノリス, Monorisu) 10,000 years ago to determine which of their descendants would become the dominant species as part of a battle royale called the "Battle Fight". While the Human Undead won, allowing humanity to flourish, and the majority were sealed by the Monolith upon their defeat, the Undead were released two years prior to the series by a maddened Yoshito Hirose, which Hiroshi Tennoji took advantage of to stage his own Battle Fight and steal the Monolith, intending to use both for his own ends.

The Undead are categorized based on card suits, with the "Royal Club" Undead being the most powerful. The Categories Jack, Queen, and King Undead are all capable of disguising themselves as humans and possess higher forms of thought compared to their weaker feral brethren.

However, Kamijo receives help from the Tarantula and Tiger Undead in overcoming the Spider Undead's influence and properly sealing it.

Shin Magaki is portrayed by Takao Sugiura (杉浦 太雄, Sugiura Takao).
