Kamen Rider Double
Kamen Rider Double (仮面ライダー
Normally, Double uses different combinations of Gaia Memories to access various combinations of powers, weapons, strengths, and weaknesses through Half Changes (ハーフチェンジ, Hāfu Chenji), switching from one form to another by switching out one or both Gaia Memories in the belt in a Memory Change (メモリチェンジ, Memori Chenji). Each Half Change uses a Maximum Drive (マキシマムドライブ, Makishimamu Doraibu) finisher, which is designed to destroy a Dopany's Gaia Memory via Memory Break (メモリブレイク, Memori Bureiku).
- CycloneJoker (サイクロンジョーカー, Saikuron Jōkā): Double's default form using the Cyclone and Joker Memories, the most well-balanced of Double's usual form with his wind-powered kicks having increased damage and cutting potential. This form's Maximum Drive finisher is a Rider Kick called the Joker Extreme (ジョーカーエクストリーム, Jōkā Ekustorīmu), during which a tiny controlled tornado lifts Double into the air before the Kamen Rider's body splits down the middle as the halves reach their target in a drop kick fashion before reconnecting.
- CycloneMetal (サイクロンメタル, Saikuron Metaru): A Half Change accessed through the Cyclone and Metal Memories, using the Metal Shaft to creates blades of wind. This form's Maximum Drive finisher is the Metal Twister (メタルツイスター, Metaru Tsuisutā) where Kamen Rider Double spins around while swinging the Metal Shaft covered in an aura of wind.
- CycloneTrigger (サイクロントリガー, Saikuron Torigā): A Half Change accessed through the Cyclone and Trigger Memories, using the Trigger Magnum to shoot out highly compressed air. This form's Maximum Drive finisher is the Trigger Aerobuster (トリガーエアロバスター, Torigā Earobasutā), firing multiple shots of pressurized air at the enemy.
- HeatMetal (ヒートメタル, Hīto Metaru): Double's form using the Heat and Metal Memories, considered the strongest, yet slowest of the 9 forms while imbuing the Metal Shaft with fire to increase its destructive abilities. This form's Maximum Drive finisher is the Metal Branding (メタルブランディング, Metaru Burandingu), causing one or both ends of the Metal Shaft to ignite on fire and deliver a final blow to the opponent. First used in Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker.
- HeatJoker (ヒートジョーカー, Hīto Jōkā): A Half Change form accessed through the Heat and Joker Memories, enabling Double to throw flaming punches. This form's Maximum Drive finisher is a Rider Punch called the Joker Grenade (ジョーカーグレネード, Jōkā Gurenēdo), during which Kamen Rider Double somersaults in mid-air, then HeatJoker's body splits down the middle during descent as the halves each hit the target with elementally energized hooks. First used in Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker.
- HeatTrigger (ヒートトリガー, Hīto Torigā): A Half Change accessed through the Heat and Trigger Memories, using the Trigger Magnum to shoot blasts of fire. This form's Maximum Drive finisher is the Trigger Explosion (トリガーエクスプロージョン, Torigā Ekusupurōjon), which fires a single constant stream of fire that completely vaporizes the enemy. HeatTrigger is the only form of Kamen Rider Double's that has attempted to perform a Twin Maximum, in which the Trigger Magnum blasts out a massive fireball that incinerates anything in its path.
- LunaTrigger (ルナトリガー, Runa Torigā): A form accessed through the Luna and Trigger Memories, effective in long range using the Trigger Magnum to fire curving gold and blue energy bolts that home on their intended target. This form's Maximum Drive finisher is the Trigger Full Burst (トリガーフルバースト, Torigā Furu Bāsuto), which fires multiple charged homing shots at the enemy.
- LunaJoker (ルナジョーカー, Runa Jōkā): A Half Change accessed through the Luna and Joker Memories, enabling Double to stretch his right limbs to extend his strike range. This form's Maximum Drive finisher is a Rider Chop called the Joker Strange (ジョーカーストレンジ, Jōkā Sutorenji), during which LunaJoker splits down the middle, the Luna half makes four copies of itself, and all five Luna halves execute rapid-fire karate chops on the target, and then the Joker half strikes the target with an energy powered chop.
- LunaMetal (ルナメタル, Runa Metaru): A Half Change accessed through the Luna and Metal Memories, enabling the Metal Shaft's range to be extended to the point of the weapon being used like whip. This form's Maximum Drive finisher is the Metal Illusion (メタルイリュージョン, Metaru Iryūjon) where Kamen Rider Double spins the Metal Shaft around to create golden rings that float around Kamen Rider Double, before unleashing them upon the target all at once.
Double also uses Memory Gadgets (メモリガジェット, Memori Gajetto) are items powered by artificial Gaia Memories called Giji Memories (ギジメモリ, Giji Memori, "Pseudo Memories") that change from Gadget Mode (ガジェットモード, Gajetto Mōdo) to Live Mode (ライブモード, Raibu Mōdo) to give Double's weapon's a boost with the use of a Soul Memory activating a Maximum Drive.
- The Stag Phone (スタッグフォン, Sutaggu Fon) are two cellular phones Shotaro and Philip own which switch between Cell Phone Mode (携帯モード, Keitai Mōdo) and Stag Mode (スタッグモード, Sutaggu Mōdo) with the use of the Stag Memory (スタッグメモリ, Sutaggu Memori). Double uses a Stag Phone to normally summon and control the HardBoilder and the RevolGarry, but attaches it to Trigger Magnum to execute a Trigger Stag Burst (トリガースタッグバースト, Torigā Sutaggu Bāsuto) Maximum Drive or with the Metal Shaft to perform the Metal Stag Break (メタルスタッグブレイク, Metaru Sutaggu Bureiku) Maximum Drive.
- The Spider Shock (スパイダーショック, Supaidā Shokku) is a G-Shock wrist watch that switches between Wrist Watch Mode (腕時計モード, Udedokei Mōdo) and Spider Mode (スパイダーモード, Supaidā Mōdo) with the use of the Spider Memory (スパイダーメモリ, Supaidā Memori). It has a grappling hook in Wrist Watch Mode. It can also shoot out trackers which can be tracked in Wrist Watch Mode. When attached to the Trigger Magnum, it allows Kamen Rider Double to fire out a net that can capture Dopants. When attached to the Metal Shaft, it allows Kamen Rider Double to shoot out a webbed string that restrains a Dopant
- The Bat Shot (バットショット, Batto Shotto) is a digital camera that switches between Digicam Mode (デジカメモード, Dejikame Mōdo) and Bat Mode (バットモード, Batto Mōdo) with the use of the Bat Memory (バットメモリ, Batto Memori). A live video feed can be linked to the Stag Phone while in Bat Mode. Its flash can disorient others, and when attached to the Metal Shaft (a combination that Shotaro dubs the Sonic Shaft (ソニックシャフト, Sonikku Shafuto)), it can emit sonic waves strong enough to shatter solid objects. The Bat Shot also has a Maximum Drive for the Luna Memory, allowing its flashes to reveal and stun any hidden targets in its vicinity. When attached to the Trigger Magnum, it allows Kamen Rider Double to perform the Trigger Bat Shooting (トリガーバットシューティング, Torigā Batto Shūtingu) Maximum Drive, locking onto the target through the Bat Shot and then firing a concentrated blast from the Trigger Magnum.
- The Frog Pod (フロッグポッド, Furoggu Poddo) is a speaker that switches between Speaker Mode (スピーカーモード, Supīkā Mōdo) and Frog Mode (フロッグモード, Furoggu Mōdo) with the use of the Frog Memory (フロッグメモリ, Furoggu Memori), which is similar to a MP3 Player that acts as a sound recorder. When the recording is played back, the Frog Pod can modulate the sound to be anyone's voice. Its primary uses are for audio recording and analysis. The Frog Memory and manual for building the Frog Pod are sent to Philip by what he assumed to be Shroud.
- The Denden Sensor (デンデンセンサー, Denden Sensā) is a pair of night vision goggles that switches between Goggle Mode (ゴーグルモード, Gōguru Mōdo, also translated as "Night Scope Mode") and Denden Mode (デンデンモード, Denden Mōdo) with the use of the Denden Memory (デンデンメモリ, Denden Memori). Its primary ability is to detect changes in the light spectra and alert its user to targets invisible to the naked eye. It is also used as a surveillance device, being able to store 8 terabytes of information in its Giji Memory. The Denden Sensor is the second Memory Gadget Philip is seen constructing from a set of instructions sent to him by Shroud.
The Xtreme Memory (エクストリームメモリ, Ekustorīmu Memori) is a special bird-like Gaia Memory that changes from Live Mode (ライブモード, Raibu Mōdo) to Memory Mode (メモリモード, Memori Mōdo) for Double to assume his ultimate form: CycloneJokerXtreme (サイクロンジョーカーエクストリーム, Saikuron Jōkā Ekusutorīmu). Being an evolved form of Double's CycloneJoker form, the Xtreme Memory contains a digitized Philip which causes him and Shotaro to fully integrate into a single being for the duration of the form with full access to the True Gaia Memory via the iridescent band going down the middle of the Kamen Rider's body called the Crystal Server (クリスタルサーバー, Kurisutaru Sābā). Double CycloneJokerXtreme uses the Prism Bicker (プリズムビッカー, Purizumu Bikkā) that splits into the Prism Sword (プリズムソード, Purizumu Sōdo), which neutralizes more Dopants' regenerative abilities, and Bicker Shield (ビッカーシールド, Bikkā Shīrudo) which uses the Prism (プリズム, Purizumu) Memory to link the power of four Maximum Drives into one. Double's Maximum Drives in this form are the Double Xtreme (ダブルエクストリーム, Daburu Ekusutorīmu) and Double Prism Xtreme (ダブルプリズムエクストリーム, Daburu Purizumu Ekusutorīmu) Rider Kicks, Prism Break (プリズムブレイク, Purizumu Bureiku) slash, Bicker Charge Break (ビッカーチャージブレイク, Bikkā Chāji Bureiku) sword and shield charged slash, and Bicker Finallusion (ビッカーファイナリュージョン, Bikkā Fainaryūjon) laser blast. Double can evolve the form further by assuming CycloneJokerGoldXtreme (サイクロンジョーカーゴールドエクストリーム, Saikuron Jōkā Gōrudo Ekusutorīmu) form being exposed to strong winds, like in Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate, with use of the Golden Xtreme (ゴールデンエクストリーム, Gōruden Ekusutorīmu) Rider Kick Maximum Drive.
Shotaro Hidari
Shotaro Hidari (左 翔太郎, Hidari Shōtarō) is the man on the streets, a self-proclaimed "hardboiled detective" who emulates famous pulp fiction private eyes characters while dressing himself in 1940s fashion with a sharp enough intuition to sometime figure out the culprit behind a crime before having Philip confirm his suspicions with evidence. Vowing to ensure that no one ever feels sad, Shotaro became a protégé of Futo's private investigator Sokichi Narumi after admiring his work as a child. Unlike his mentor, Shotaro was incapable of making the tough decisions most of the time due to his kindhearted nature, which is the main reason why many consider him "halfboiled".
Following Sokichi's death in the Begins Night (ビギンズナイト, Biginzu Naito) incident, their investigation leading to Shotaro meeting Philip, Shotaro promises to continue in his mentor's stead while becoming a man worthy of wearing Sokichi's white fedora. Thus Shotaro works to stop the Dopant crime wave in Futo by providing his body as Kamen Rider Double, taking pride in the role and being called a "Kamen Rider" by the citizens. While his body was not meant to handle Gaia Memories as he was never intended to be partnered with Philip, Shotaro adapted to the situation as he eventually become both worthy of being Double and wearing Sokichi's white fedora.

During the events of W Forever, Shotaro receives Sokichi Narumi's Lost Driver, allowing him to become Kamen Rider Joker (仮面ライダージョーカー, Kamen Raidā Jōkā) on three occasions. This belt is retrieved by Philip and given to Shotaro before his disappearance, allowing him to become Kamen Rider Joker again.
- Metal (メタル, Metaru): The Metal Memory, also known as the Steel Memory (鋼鉄の記憶, Kōtetsu no Kioku) or the Fighter Memory (闘士の記憶, Tōshi no Kioku), empowers the user with great strength and magnified resistance to physical harm, becoming the Superpowered Warrior (怪力戦士, Kairiki Senshi).

Thus Raito was considered the "Chosen Child" (運命の子, Unmei no Ko) by his father Ryubee who had Satoshi Yamashiro wipe out the now ageless youth's memories of his former identity to be used by the Museum in the mass production of artificial Gaia Memories. After being rescued by Shotaro and Sokichi Narumi, the latter naming him after the fictional detective Philip Marlowe, Philip aids Shotaro to atone for being used as a puppet willingly by his captors. Normally remaining in the Detective Agency's secret hangar, reading at his spare time with a habit of becoming obsessed with a topic of interest, Philip investigates Dopant activities through his ability to access the Gaia Library (地球（ほし）の本棚, Hoshi no Hondana) and its Infinite Archive (無限アーカイブ, Mugen Ākaibu), a metaphysical realm and Akashic records in the form of white room filled with an endless number of books on an endless number of bookshelves.
While initially a logic-minded sociopath with little common sense who constantly irks all around him, Philip gradually becomes more empathic while eventually learning his former identity as a member of the Sonozaki Family. He was eventually captured and was absorbed by Wakana to restore the Museum's hold on the True Gaia Memory, later extracted by Shotaro. But the event renders Philip's body unstable to the point that should he transform into Kamen Rider Double again, he would break up into data and be completely absorbed by the planet once he cancels transformation. Saving their final transformation to save Wakana and fight Jun Kazu, Philip has Shotaro promise him that he will still fight for Futo even after he is gone. After Kazu is defeated, Philip bids his final farewell to Shotaro as he fades away once the transformation is cancelled. Before he left, Philip left Shotaro a gift containing a Lost Driver buckle and the blank book he used to bring around with him, containing a message thanking Shotaro and asking him to continue to protect Futo. However, after Wakana learns that Philip sacrificed his own physical existence to save her, she initiates her own Gaia Impact: sacrificing herself to bring back the Xtreme Memory and reconstruct Philip's physical body. Before returning, Philip has one last moment with his family who tell him that they will be watching over him. Once revealing himself a year after his physical form is completely restored, Philip resumes protecting Futo with Shotaro.

Dopants
The Dopants (ドーパント, Dōpanto) are humans who received Gaia Memories from the Museum. Originally, the Gaia Memories were created by using Philip's link to the true Gaia Memory (地球の記憶, Chikyū no Kioku) by means of the Gaia Library (地球（ほし）の本棚, Hoshi no Hondana). But after Philip was taken, Ryubee resorts to using a shrine located under the Sonozaki manor to create Gaia Memories. From there, the Museum would sell them to the highest bidder or to common criminals, both types used as guinea pigs to study the Gaia Memories as part of the Gaia Impact project. Despite the Museum organization being disbanded with Ryubee's death, some Gaia Memories are still unaccounted for.
Sonozaki Family
The Sonozaki Family (園咲家, Sonozaki Ke) is an aristocratic family in Futo who founded the organization known as the Museum (ミュージアム, Myūjiamu). When his son Raito died and was reborn as an avatar of the true Gaia Memory, Ryubee used his organization to produce and distribute the Gaia Memories created throughout the criminal underworld for experimentation, resulting in the Dopant crime waves. The ultimate goal of Museum is to use the data gathered for both the Dopants and the Kamen Riders to invoke an effect known as the Gaia Impact (ガイアインパクト, Gaia Inpakuto), which Ryubee plans based on his fears of humanity's extinction to make mankind one with the Earth itself.
With the exception of Raito and Fumine, each member of the Sonozaki Family owns a special Gaia Memory, called Gold Memories (ゴールドメモリ, Gōrudo Memori), allowing them to assume Dopant forms with the use of a prototype Gaia Driver (ガイアドライバー, Gaia Doraibā) belt which prevents the corruptive effects of usual Dopant Gaia Memories at the cost of reduced power. In the end, when Ryubee's plan almost succeeds, it results with the family estate burning to the ground, marking the end of both its patriarch and the Museum. At the end of the series, when Wakana sacrifices her body to give Philip (Raito) his body back, the family becomes a part of the Earth to watch over Philip and tasks him with the family duty to protect Futo and to change the world for the benefit of mankind.
Ryubee Sonozaki
Ryubee Sonozaki (園咲 琉兵衛, Sonozaki Ryūbee) is the seemingly wise yet maniacal head of the Sonozaki Family and leader of the Museum, who is almost always seen smiling or laughing. He sports a commanding presence and can adequately terrify many even without the use of his Terror Memory, which is the main reason why the police leaves him alone even though they have suspicions regarding his activities. He acts as a godfather in the organization and sees the entirety of the city of Futo as his personal kingdom, not letting anyone get in the way of his vision for the city, not even his wife and children. With the Terror Memory, Ryubee can transform into the Terror Dopant (テラー・ドーパント, Terā Dōpanto), who can increase the fear in his victims to maddening levels. He could also summon the Terror Field (テラーフィールド, Terā Fīrudo) to burn his victims or teleport himself and others across long distances and project his power into the Terror Crown (テラークラウン, Terā Kuraun) to create a Barong-like familiar known as the Terror Dragon (テラードラゴン, Terā Doragon). As the head of the Museum, Ryubee oversees the distribution of Gaia Memories, using those who can use them as research specimens, regardless of the harm and deaths that ensued. He does not seem to consider the Kamen Riders fighting the Dopant crimewave a threat, using the data off of them as a means to perfect his plans for Wakana before turning his attention to regain Philip and complete his plan to initiate the Gaia Impact.
It is revealed that Ryubee was an archaeologist who bought the grounds his estate was built on after finding deposits of fossils and relics beneath it, forming the collection at the Futo Museum where he works as its curator. He eventually discovered the location of the planet's consciousness, dubbed the Gaia Memory (地球の記憶, Chikyū no Kioku), and brought his family to see it. However, when his son Raito fell into the "fountain" of the Gaia Memory and died, but was somehow resurrected by the planet's powers, Ryubee began his plan for the Gaia Impact: an event that would ensure the future of the human race by making them one with the planet itself, much like his son had become. To reach his goal, he used an item dubbed the "Evil Tail" (イーヴィルテイル, Īviru Teiru), an archaeologist's brush with the names of his family inscribed on it, to overcome the fear that would go along with sacrificing them to reach his goal, eventually making him go mad. When he sacrifices Raito (Philip) once more into the Gaia Memory to make his daughter Wakana one with the Earth, he is confronted by both Kamen Riders. While Kamen Rider Accel as the AccelTurbuler destroys his Terror Dragon, Shotaro is able to retrieve Philip's mind and then his body from the aspects of the Gaia Memory in ClayDoll Xtreme to transform into Kamen Rider Double CycloneJokerXtreme to defeat the Terror Dopant and destroy the Terror Memory, along with most of the Sonozaki estate. With Ryubee's mind still broken from years of planning, he enters the still burning ruins of his home, glad that he finally initiated the Gaia Impact. He dies in the blaze, thinking of the good times he had with his family before he discovered the Gaia Memory and claiming that he has no regrets about his life as he dances madly by himself.
During the events of OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders, Terror Dopant appears to be a member and leader of Shocker in normal timeline.
Ryubee Sonozaki is portrayed by Minori Terada (寺田 農, Terada Minori). In the music video for "Nobody's Perfect", the Terror Dopant make a cameo as he fights Kamen Rider Skull.[9][10]
Saeko Sonozaki
Saeko Sonozaki (園咲 冴子, Sonozaki Saeko) the eldest of the Sonozaki children who runs an IT company called the Digal Corporation (ディガル・コーポレーション, Digaru Kōporēshon), which serves as a front for Gaia Memory production and distribution. As the Taboo Dopant (タブー・ドーパント, Tabū Dōpanto), she gains the ability to fly and generate deadly plasma balls. Ryubee strictly raised Saeko to believe that their family is superior to all others and that they are destined to rule the world. This loveless upbringing caused her to grow up secretly hating her father, often taking the resulting rage out on her younger sister Wakana, serving as fuel for her own ulterior motives of taking over the Museum to prove herself to her father to be its ideal successor. She also has a tendency to kill her boyfriends if they do not live up to her expectations. When Saeko spares Kirihiko due to his capabilities, she marries him and lets him live until he threatens the Museum's livelihood. He has no problems executing Kirihiko as she had never loved him. After Kirihiko's death, Saeko begins to visit Shinkuro Isaka to improve her Dopant form and focus on her plans for the Museum. After he is almost defeated by the Kamen Riders, she begins to show that she cares for Isaka's well-being, which is likely to be genuine attraction to the doctor. Once her coup against her father fails and Isaka is killed off, Saeko goes on the lam and is hunted down by the Smilodon Dopant, who takes the Taboo Memory and leaves her for dead. However, Saeko is saved by Kazu who offers his support in her scheme to take control of the Museum. After infiltrating the Digal Corporation, now with Wakana as its head, to obtain the Nasca Memory and then using an L.C.O.G on herself instead of using the Memory with a Driver. Without inhibitions posed by a Driver, Saeko is able to use the Gaia Memory in its Level 3 state to become the R Nasca Dopant (Rナスカ・ドーパント, Āru Nasuka Dōpanto, "R" for both "Red" and "Revenge") to overpower her sister. However, when Wakana evolves to ClayDoll Xtreme, which Saeko proves to be utterly powerless against, she is forced to go after other options to make herself more powerful, such as the Jewel Memory, before the Nasca Memory is destroyed in a confrontation with ClayDoll Xtreme. Later, after her father's death, Saeko is disillusioned until she learns of Wakana's survival and regains the Taboo Memory from Kazu after he announces that she has become the head of the Museum. However, no longer having a reason to prove herself with her father dead, Saeko fights Kazu in order to save her sister. As a result, the Taboo Dopant sacrifices herself to hold off the Utopia Dopant to give Wakana time to run away, resulting in Saeko's death as she finally admits the irony of her last moments in her final breath.
Saeko Sonozaki is portrayed by Ami Namai (生井 亜実, Namai Ami).[11][12]
Wakana Sonozaki
Wakana Sonozaki (園咲 若菜, Sonozaki Wakana) is the youngest daughter and middle child of the Sonozaki family who since her brother's death has been secretly raised to become the key element in her father's plans. Working as a DJ at the local Wind Wave (ウインドウェーブ, Uindo Wēbu) radio station, she hosted the Wakana's Healing Princess (園咲若菜のヒーリングプリンセス, Sonozaki Wakana no Hīringu Purinsesu) show and gained a loyal fanbase as a result. While she puts up a shy and kind persona on the show or whenever a crowd is around, her true personality is the complete opposite. As a member of the Museum, Wakana is able to transform into the ClayDoll Dopant (クレイドール・ドーパント, Kureidōru Dōpanto), enabling her to produce gravitational energy shots, as well as the ability to reform her Dopant body after it is shattered into thousands of pieces. Out of all of the members of the Sonozaki Family, she is the least involved with the Gaia Memory business, as she was doted upon while growing up. After encountering Philip, Wakana begins to have second thoughts about being a Dopant and discards the ClayDoll Memory. It is returned to her by her father, who is aware that she did not lose it as she claims; he later decides to bring her into the family business after Kirihiko's death and is the one chosen to view the effects of the Xtreme Memory on the true Gaia Memory. Before this, Wakana also becomes one of Shinkuro Isaka's unwilling experiments after he modifies her Gaia Driver, subjecting her to more of her Gaia Memory's influence and its short term side effects showing her compatibility with its powers.
After trying to run away with Philip, her father takes her to the Museum's true base of operations. Made to believe by unknown means that she is serving a greater good for the planet's sake, Wakana runs the Museum and the Digal Corporation, bent on bringing Philip back to the Museum to complete the Gaia Impact. Her personality now resembles Saeko, but more ruthless and unforgiving. She is also given the Prototype Organic Information Controlling Organ Body Gaia Progressor (有機情報制御器官試作体・ガイアプログレッサー, Yūki Jōhō Seigyo Kikan Shisakutai Gaia Puroguressā), a device based on the Xtreme Memory that is designed to evolve her into the godlike ClayDoll Xtreme (クレイドールエクストリーム, Kureidōru Ekusutorīmu) to prepare her for the Gaia Impact so she become one with the planet's vast knowledge. While armed with tendrils and exponentially more power, Wakana becomes a being like Philip with access to the true Gaia Memory, much like CycloneJokerXtreme. When the Gaia Impact seems to succeed after Philip is thrown into the source of the true Gaia Memory, becoming a living Gaia Memory and fully integrated with the ClayDoll Memory, Wakana loses control when Philip is removed from her body, causing an explosion that destroys the Sonozaki estate. However, in midsts of the blaze, Wakana's unconscious body is carried off by Kazu to the Foundation X research facility to be of use in his own version of the Gaia Impact. However, Shotaro manages to save her before taking her to the hospital. A few days later, Wakana attempts to force her way out of the hospital to resume her family's goal before finally learning that Philip disappeared into the Gaia Memory to save her. After getting the means to invoke the Gaia Impact from Shroud in her final moments, Wakana sacrifices her own existence to bring her brother back via the Xtreme Memory.

As an in-law, Kirihiko is not as fully aware of the truth behind the family business or Kamen Rider Double's existence until confronting him in battle.

When he finally discovers the truth behind the Gaia Memories, while suffering near-lethal side effects from eventually reaching Level Two of the Nasca Memory's powers, he tries to take Saeko away from the Museum, but she kills him as he is now a threat to her future plans.

He appears to be more intelligent than the average house cat, in that he appears to know that he is able to transform into the Smilodon Dopant and he knows how to transform back into a house cat at will.

Mass-produced Masquerade Memories are distributed to their Gaia Memory salesmen for the purpose of producing more thugs to do their dirty work.

Ten years ago, finding no meaning in his life, he encountered Ryubee Sonozaki attacking a group of people as the Terror Dopant. This brings maddening joy to the doctor and he made a point to get the Terror Memory for himself, experimenting on himself with numerous Gaia Memories with various Living Connectors on his body before Shroud gave him the Weather Memory in the hope that he would be powerful enough to eliminate Ryubee. As the Weather Dopant (ウェザー・ドーパント, Wezā Dōpanto), he is armed with the whip-like Weather Mine (ウェザーマイン, Wezā Main) and control over the weather: intense sunlight, heavy rain, lightning, tornadoes, and freezing snow. He originally tested these abilities in a series of murders which include Ryu Terui's family, to whom he is only known as the man with the W Memory (Ｗ（ダブリュー）のメモリを持つ男, Daburyū no Memori o motsu otoko). Isaka does not use a Gaia Driver, as he feels he doesn't need the protection provided, as he is unaffected by their corruption due to him being already intensely psychotic, and the limits imposed on the power of Gaia Memories annoy him greatly. The Weather Dopant can also withstand Maximum Drives, as he has augmented the Weather Memory with other Gaia Memories' powers. This skill and his knowledge of Dopant physiology makes him an ally to the Museum. After his identity is discovered during his failed attempt to add the Invisible Memory to his arsenal, Isaka takes refuge in the Sonozaki estate where he convinces Saeko to take out her father so she can control the Museum and he can get the Terror Memory. Though he originally sees Saeko as merely one of his pawns and research material, he admits to having developed feelings for her. During his attempt to absorb the Quetzalcoatlus Memory, the Weather Dopant is finally defeated by Kamen Rider Accel Trial's Machine Gun Spike Maximum Drive, shattering the Weather Memory. Shortly afterwards, Isaka's excessive use of Gaia Memories causes his body to become covered in Living Connectors that dissolve him away into nothingness as he tells the Kamen Riders that Shroud will be their end. Shroud later expressed regret to Ryu for giving Isaka the Weather Memory, having no idea of what a monster he would become with the Memory.

However, when roused to sufficient anger he releases his emotions like a torrent. Becoming a sponsor to the Museum and overseeing their investments, Kazu obtains a Gaia Driver and a Gold Memory. This Gold Memory, known as the Utopia Memory, allows him to become the seemingly omnipotent Utopia Dopant (ユートピア・ドーパント, Yūtopia Dōpanto), with reality-bending powers that result from the Utopia Memory's ability to grant its user's wishes, mainly used to repel attacks aimed at him, and absorb the emotions of living beings to further power itself.

However, Wakana's comatose state forces Kazu to wait until her power resurfaces. In order to awaken her and reclaim Saeko, Kazu reveals himself to the Kamen Riders and assumes his Dopant form to overpower them. After discovering that Philip's emotions are tied to Wakana's powers as ClayDoll Xtreme, he decides to attack everyone close to him in order to initiate the Gaia Impact.

He survives, however, and comes after them, battling Kamen Rider Double CycloneJokerXtreme. The duo manage to further weaken him by overloading him with Philip's final feelings before using the Double Prism Xtreme Maximum Drive to defeat the Utopia Dopant.

Though much stronger, faster and more durable than normal humans, the downsides for Necro-Overs is their ability to feel emotions diminishes with time, gradually rendering them increasingly undead-like, while requiring regular bio-stabilizer injections to keep their bodies intact. When Foundation X abandoned them in favor of the higher diversity presented in Gaia Memory research, the NEVER became mercenaries while leaving a path of destruction in their wake to proof themselves superior to the Museum's "toys". But an encounter with Doctor Prospect drove their leader insane as the group destroy the Museum by obtaining the T2 Gaia Memories, which they use themselves, to power the X Bicker (エクスビッカー, Ekusu Bikkā) and covert residents of Futo residents into Necro-Overs. While Necro-Overs display exceptional compatibility with certain Gaia Memories, they are greater risk than normal humans as being struck with a Maximum Drive or Kamen Rider OOO's Scanning will cause the Necro-Over to disintegrate.

Soon after, he recruits four people who recently died and were revived as Necro-Overs, forming a band of hired mercenaries. During one of their missions, Daido meets Mina and falls in love with her. During that time, Daido gains the experimental Eternal Memory and is able to transform into Kamen Rider Eternal (仮面ライダーエターナル, Kamen Raidā Etānaru). However, being forced to watch Mina seemingly die before his eyes turns Daido into a completely unfeeling monster as he kills Doctor Prospect, with the Eternal Memory getting damaged in the fight. Deciding to destroy Futo to wipe out the Museum, Daido serves as the main antagonist for W Forever and uses the T2 Eternal Memory to regain his Kamen Rider form. After his plans are thwarted by the combined efforts of Shotaro, Philip, and Maria, Daido utilizes all 26 T2 Gaia Memories to overpower Double, but is defeated and slain by CycloneJokerGoldXtreme. Long after their battle with the Museum ends, Shotaro and Philip learned the truth behind Daido's actions and pay their respects.
