But his life was changed while Africa when he attempt to use his fortune to help out a small village only funded a civil war that cost the life of a little girl he befriended, causing him to renounce his lifestyle and become a wandering vagabond willing to help those in need. Returning to Japan to allegedly fund more of his world travels, Eiji's latest part-time job at the Kougami Art Museum resulted in him getting unwittingly entangled in the chain of events that occurred after the Greeed were released when Ankh gives the ability to become Kamen Rider OOO to fight them. Eiji agrees to help Ankh in gathering Cell Medals on the condition of using his power to save lives, later allying himself with the Kougami Foundation while learning more of the Greed.

Eiji's lack of selfish desires would he become troublesome when became a host to half of the purple Core Medal set, attempting to keep himself from going berserk and transform into a Greeed. Soon after, Eiji learns from Kousei Kougami that the only way to counteract the purple Core Medals is to acquire a desire of his own. Eiji remembers that his desire is to have power to help others, agreeing to absorb all of the Cell Medals in the Kougami Foundation's possession to achieve that desire as he used them all in an attempt to destroy Maki in one attack. Ultimately, a dying Ankh gives Eiji his Core Medals to maintain himself to defeat Maki while losing all the Core Medals but the broken Hawk Core Medal containing Ankh's mind in the process. After realizing the power that he seeks are those he had bonded with, he resumes his world traveling with Ankh's spirit following him.

In Movie War Mega Max, revealed to be working with the Kougami Foundation to create new Core Medals in hope of restoring Ankh's Core Medal, Eiji is helped by a future version of Ankh who gives him Core Medals along with the Super TaToBa Medals.

Ankh

Ankh (アンク, Anku) is a bird-type Greeed who believes he has the right to take whatever he wants, a dishonest wildcard who sees people for their flaws and is at odds with the other Greeed. As revealed in the Kamen Rider OOO novel, after the King removed his tenth Core Medal to finalized 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 of having his own senses distorted. But Ankh regrets his decision as the girl died in horror that her sight came at the cost of people that the Yummy murdered for their eyes. Honoring the girl's last request to protect people, Ankh sided with the King to battle the other Greed until he was betrayed by the original OOO taking his Core Medals. When the king is overwhelmed by the Medals' power, it resulted in the Greeed being sealed away, including Ankh's severed right forearm which held the Core Medal containing his consciousness. With the rest of body separately sealed and mummified, Ankh lost most of his power.

When the Greeed were unsealed in the present, Ankh could not complete reform his body and instead steals the other Greeed's Core Medals to have them handicapped. But he loses one of his two remaining Hawk Core Medals when Eiji takes it by accident, initially intending to regain it before enlisting Eiji as the new Kamen Rider OOO for his agenda. But as Eiji turned out to be not so easy to manipulate, Ankh reluctantly cooperate with Eiji to save lives on the condition that they gather Cell Medals. Ankh also takes the body of the half-dead detective Shingo Izumi as a temporary host while providing the human with life support, allowing him to fully experience sensations while growing envious of humans. Overtime, Ankh undergoes a change in personality as he finds himself unable to harm Hina and Eiji without a substantial reason.

Even though he managed to regain some of his Core Medals, Ankh eventually learns the reason is because of the rest of his body developed into a being of its own. As both he and other half seek to absorb each other, which weakens his hold on Shingo, Ankh assumes that the weaker half would be consumed once he and Ankh (Lost) are reunited. While Ankh is eventually absorbed by his other self, the fusion is incomplete as he continues to defy Ankh (Lost) and passed a Taka Medal to Hina before being absorbed. After Eiji destroy Ankh (Lost) along with a full set of Ankh's Medals in OOO Putotyra Combo form, Ankh reconstitutes himself in a form resembling Shingo's possessed state. While Ankh regained his full power, the loss of one set of the Core Medals weakens Ankh as he possesses Shingo and takes his Hawk Core Medal from Eiji while siding with Maki on the condition to become the vessel for all the other Core Medals. After reviving Uva and feigning to have sided with the Greeed, counting on Eiji's new-found ability to destroy Core Medals, Ankh formulates a reckless plan to have OOO eliminate them so he can use their remaining Core Medals to fully fuse Shingo's body with his mind so he can become a truly conscious being. The scheme involves Ankh giving the other Greeed all their Core Medals back unconditionally, a result of being spoiled by his experiences with human senses while disgusted with his fellow Greeed.

But when Ankh confronts Eiji as he slowly turns into a Greed, he finds himself unable to kill him due to their history and his newfound capacity for feeling deeper emotions. This convinced Ankh to turn on Maki, who retaliates by taking the Core Medals he took from the killed Greeed while damaging the Hawk Core Medal containing Ankh's consciousness as it would eventually shatter. Ankh accepts his death with serenity before joining Eiji in their final battle against Maki. When the Kyouryu Greeed manages to negate Putotyra Combo, Ankh gives Eiji his last three Core Medals to prevent him from going rampage with his purple Core powers, disappearing and allowing Eiji to assume Tajadol Combo. His spirit fights alongside Eiji against the Kyouryu Greeed as they defeat Maki as he and the Core Medals are sucked into a black hole. As Eiji falls back to earth, Ankh appears to him as his disembodied arm and expresses his gratitude to him and others for allowing to live and die as a human while having into half of his shattered Taka Medal. The other half appears before Hina in a brief manifestation of his Shingo-like body, with Hina giving it to Eiji as he resumes his wanderlust with the hope of somehow reviving Ankh.

In the events of Mega Max, Eiji learns that he somehow found a way as Ankh arrives from the future to help him with Kamen Rider Poseidon. Eiji comes close to the method in during Heisei Generations Final crisis when he temporary revived Ankh through a replica body created by Kaisei Mogami.

In his true form, known as Ankh (Greeed) (アンク（グリード態）, Anku (Gurīdo-tai)), Ankh possessed abilities similar to OOO's Tajadol Combo and can create bird-themed Yummy that attack people to extract an attribute which they later feed to their host, much like a mother bird feeding her chicks. Ankh is forced to rely on human hosts like Shingo to move about as he could not fully recreate his body at the time, causing the host's hair to develop a peculiar style with a dull blonde color. Ankh can remove himself from Shingo's body on occasion, though he must reattach himself within ten minutes to keep Shingo alive. Ankh also uses Shingo's iPhone 4 and an iPad to gather information on the current era as well as to keep track of the ownership of the Core Medals, receiving the O Medal Holder from Hina to store Core Medals in.

The name "Ankh" comes from the Hindi word for "eye" (आँख ā̃ṅkh), as in a hawk's eye. His name was originally planned to be "Ash" (アッシュ, Asshu) from the Japanese word assuru (圧する, "to oppress" or "to dominate").[4]

Ankh is both voiced and portrayed by Ryosuke Miura (三浦 涼介, Miura Ryōsuke).[5]

Hina Izumi

Hina Izumi (泉 比奈, Izumi Hina) is Shingo's sister, who for some reason has superhuman strength, which she is a bit embarrassed about. She began working at the Cous Coussier restaurant as the Greeed awaken, worried for her brother's well-being when she eventually learns of the incident he was in. To prevent her from worrying, Eiji sends her a text message using Shingo's cell phone stating Shingo is on an undercover mission and won't be home for a long time. Eiji later tells her the truth, while promising to save her brother. Eventually, realizing his reason of looking after Ankh, Hina convinces Eiji to work at the Cous Coussier so she can care for her brother's body. She often uses her super strength to keep Ankh in line if he begins to treat her brother's body poorly or when he does something she does not agree with. Ankh does not like her and the two often argue, with only Hina's bizarre strength allowing her to win arguments. Hina eventually comes to realize she has been relying on Eiji's need to help to an unhealthy degree, and is taking steps to ensure Eiji does not blindly sacrifice himself for other people's sakes. After much contemplation, Hina also realizes she has come to care for Ankh, and wants both Ankh and Eiji, as well as her brother, to make it out of the Medal conflict alive. During the events of Super Hero Taisen, after Eiji was seemingly killed, Hina joined forces with Daiki Kaito, and the Gokaigers' Joe Gibken and Don Dogoier to solve the reason while Tsukasa Kadoya and Captain Marvelous are attacking each other.

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

Shingo Izumi

Shingo Izumi (泉 信吾, Izumi Shingo) is Hina's older brother, a police detective who is mortally wounded during the attack by the Mantis Yummy. His half dead body is then reanimated by Ankh and used as the Greeed's temporary vessel. This keeps Shingo barely alive, allowing Ankh to move about unnoticed while feeding on as many Cell Medals as possible in order to regain his complete form. Though he originally needs Ankh to keep him alive, and is able to experience everything the Greeed does through him, Shingo manages to sufficiently recover over time and is fully conscious by the time Ankh is absorbed by his other half. Though a completely healed Shingo intends to help Eiji, he is forced into becoming Ankh's host again after Ankh revives. After the end of the Greeed conflict, he resumes his work as a police detective.

Shingo Izumi is portrayed by Ryosuke Miura, who also portrays Ankh.

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 they acquired the sarcophagus holding them and the Medals at their Kougami Art Museum (鴻上美術館, Kōgami Bijutsukan). As a result of their research from the artifacts they gathered and placed in the basement level of the main building, labeled as the King's Room, they developed many Cell Medal-powered items. When the Greeed finally awaken and they realize that Kamen Rider OOO has become active, they begin to assist the Kamen Rider in his fight against the Greeed and Yummy.

Kousei Kougami

Kousei Kougami (鴻上 光生, Kōgami Kōsei) is the eccentric president of the Kougami Foundation. Well versed in the history of OOO and the Core Medals, he has anticipated the arrival of the Greeed and has amassed several Cell Medals and artifacts relating to the Greeed and OOO. He loves baking cakes, commonly birthday cakes, and has built his office over a bakery. He always has a record player in his office, usually playing "Happy Birthday", believing that the birth of all things, good or bad, is a thing of beauty. Any items he has sent to Kamen Rider OOO typically fit this belief, normally referred to as 'presents' and wrapped up as such. Kougami is easily excited and becomes incredibly enthusiastic when it comes to the OOO/Greeed conflict and the birth of new developments, shouting an emotional "splendid!" (素晴らしい！, subarashii!) at things that please him. He also has a habit of shouting "happy birthday!" whenever something new happens. Kougami believes that desires are the purest and most powerful energy source in existence, playing a major role in the evolution of life on Earth. This belief is to the extent of encouraging all around him to succumb to their own desires and do whatever they want as long as it does not interfere with his own desires. He sees Kamen Rider OOO, one bound for godhood, to be the means to ensure an unlimited supply of energy. To that end, Kougami manages to outwit Ankh into having him and Eiji work for him with a 60% Medal payment for the use his company's gadgets and equipment in order to achieve his lifelong work. Eventually, he has Kiyoto Maki develop a Kamen Rider with the ability to use and gather Cell Medals: Kamen Rider Birth. He eventually figures out that Maki is secretly working with the Greeed Kazari and threatens to fire him, causing Maki to destroy his lab and take everything he could, including the purple Core Medals. Kougami wishes to have the purple Core Medals destroyed as soon as possible, as what they represent goes directly against the goals he is trying to accomplish. Eventually, it is revealed that he is the one who awakened Ankh (Lost) by stealing one of his Core Medals.

He is revealed to be a descendant of the king who became the first Kamen Rider OOO, during Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals.

In Movie War Mega Max, it is revealed that Kougami is researching on creating new Core Medals that run on desire power alone before he gave the Poseidon Driver to Michal 40 years later.

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, often procuring cakes for him and seeing things from a business point of view. She also goes out of the office to run errands as instructed by Kougami, able to hold her own in a fight against a Yummy. Despite being Kougami's usual cake taster, Satonaka actually prefers spicy foods. Since Goto became the new Kamen Rider Birth, Satonaka becomes his support, even though she is actually his superior in the Kougami Foundation, carrying both her own Birth Buster to provide backup and a suitcase holding Cell Medals, loaded spare Bullet Pods, and Candroids. Much to Goto's chagrin, Satonaka is often late in arriving to the scene of a Yummy attack because of her obsession with her appearance, which leaves him at a disadvantage when he runs out of ammo for the Birth Buster.

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.

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.

Akira Date is portrayed by Hiroaki Iwanaga (岩永 洋昭, Iwanaga Hiroaki).[6]

Kiyoto Maki

Kiyoto Maki (真木 清人, Maki Kiyoto) is a nihilistic scientist who devised the Medal System and is overseer of the Kougami Foundation's Kougami Biotech Laboratory (鴻上生体研究所, Kōgami Seitai Kenkyūjo), having an obsession that one's true value is defined by how it ends. This obsession stems from the emotional abuse he suffered as a child from his older sister and guardian Hitomi Maki (真木 仁美, Maki Hitomi), whom he murdered by causing a fire in her bedroom when she intended to abandon him following her marriage. Maki blocked out the memory and deluded himself into thinking Hitomi was a kind and loving sister whose death was an accident. Having had trouble communicating with others besides his sister, Maki was given a doll surrogate which he named "Kiyo-chan" (キヨちゃん) and treasured as it allowed him to function by speaking it to whenever conversing with another. This tendency is so strong that Maki often becomes unable to speak properly and loses his normally deadpan composure when Kiyo-chan falls from his shoulder, the doll's occasional acts of supposed supernatural nature becomes a running gag in the series. Maki also developed an obsession with Chiyoko Shiraishi due to her resemblance to Hitomi upon seeing a restaurant pamphlet with her picture on it.

Though he develops the Kamen Rider Birth System for humans to use Medals like OOO, Maki was more intent on studying the Greeed yet is forced to comply with Kougami's demands since he needed the man's funding for his research and secret projects. He would soon enter into an alliance with Kazari to see if one Greeed's body could contain all the Core Medals, though Maki hoped the result would be a rampaging Mega Greeed that can destroy the world. Kougami learned of this and threatens Maki to end his partnership with Kazari, Maki's own strained relationship with the Greeed leading to the creation of the Orca-Panda Yummy from the man's unfulfilled desire for maternal affection. A disgusted Maki gets himself instead while attempting to deal with his own Yummy using Candroids, ending up in Chiyoko's care. Maki then takes Chiyoko back to his childhood home, telling her his story of what had happened before remembering what actually happened from being faced with Chiyoko's genuinely kind demeanor. This causes an abrupt cessation in his desire for affection while reaffirming his belief that the world should be ended while there is still some good left in it, with himself as the last living being on the planet. Maki then remotely detonates his laboratory after having Candroids retrieve his painting and the purple Core Medals as he leaves the Kougami Foundation and fully allies himself with the Greeed, intending to use them to destroy the world.

Maki later absorbs five of the purple Core Medals to assume a Greeed form known as the Dinosaur Greeed (恐竜グリード, Kyōryū Gurīdo), seeking the other Core Medals in Eiji's possession to complete his transformation.[7] After making a deal with Ankh, willing to follow his plan if it means completing his own, Maki steals the Core Medals in Kazari's body after he is heavily injured by Eiji and leaves him to die. He then gives the pilfered Medals to Ankh, only to be disappointed when Ankh expresses more ambition than just the desire to be complete when he takes only Kazari's Medals. This forces Maki to take matters into his own hands by mortally wounding Gamel and then speeding up Eiji's Greeedification, to convince Eiji to relinquish the purple Core Medals, before deciding to use Uva in his plan instead by turning him into the Medal Vessel. Leaving Kiyo-chan to Chiyoko's care as he no longer needs the doll to speak normally, Maki proceeds to engage Eiji and Ankh in the final battle. In the end, after being mortally wounded by OOO Tajadol Combo with a purple Core Medal-powered Giga Scan, Maki's body becomes a black hole-like collapse and sucks in most of the Core Medals along with himself as he delights in his own death.

During the events of Kamen Rider OOO: Nobunaga's Desire, Maki forcefully provides Nobunaga with the three black Core Medals to have him assume his Armored Warrior Inhumanoid's complete form. Then in the events of Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals, Maki gives the Greeed one of his Core Medals to help Eiji in his fight against Gara, stating that though both he and the alchemist embrace destruction, their ideals of what is to occur after it are extreme opposites.

Kiyoto Maki is portrayed by Yuu Kamio (神尾 佑, Kamio Yū).[8] As a child, Maki is portrayed by Hayato Watanabe (渡辺 隼斗, Watanabe Hayato).

Greeed

The Greeed (グリード, Gurīdo) are coin-based homunculi created from the fifty Core Medals 800 years ago by humans who attempted to create life under the will of the King, the First Kamen Rider OOO, as part of his plan to achieve godhood. Though originally mindless, the five Greeed gained wills of their own after one Medal in each of the five sets was destroyed. They are beings without true life that crave endlessly, cursed with a void in them that can never be filled. They lack proper senses, resulting in bleak sensory input (e.g., colors are washed out, taste is nonexistent, sounds are muffled and distorted), as well as the inability to feel deeper emotions such as love. As such, the four other Greeed became bent on filling the void left in them by consuming everything obsessively in an attempt to experience what humans normally take for granted. However, they and part of Ankh were sealed by the King when the Core Medals consumed him and transformed him into a stone coffin.

When the seal is removed, Ankh (unable to recreate his body completely) manages to steal some of his fellow Greeed's Core Medals so they would be handicapped as well while claiming that the other Core Medals were lost to them during their imprisonment. As a result, the four Greeed use their Yummy to track down Ankh and regain their stolen Core Medals while using them to gather as many Cell Medals as needed to maintain their physical forms. After realizing how much humanity changed over the past 800 years, the Greeed mimic human forms to blend into society. Each Greeed has three sets of Core Medals and are able to maintain their powers so long as they do not lose them all. Once they do, the armored portion of their forms that draws power from that Core Medal disappears while they "bleed" Cell Medals. If they only have one Core Medal left in their bodies, then they are forcibly reverted to human form and suffer terrible pain. The exceptions to that rule are Ankh, who became a special case since the battle centuries ago, and Uva, who was able to recreate his body from a single Core Medal with just his head and forearms being armored.[9]

If a Greeed's body gains more Core Medals without its own nine Core Medals to stabilize the body, its body will begin to destabilize from the power as the other Core Medals act as if they are its own. One end result of this is a Mega Greeed (巨大グリード, Kyodai Gurīdo), an extremely powerful chimera-based monster. But when all five Core Medal types are used, a Greeed turns into a Medal Vessel (メダルの器, Medaru no Utsuwa), a giant container that converts all nearby matter into Cell Medals. Because both types are extremely dangerous, Maki uses the purple Core Medals to become a Greeed himself while having other Greeed to repeat their consumption once completely revived in order achieve his desire for the world to end. A Greeed's consciousness is contained in one of its corresponding head-type Core Medals. Destruction of this Medal will permanently destroy the Greeed. If a Greeed's body is destroyed but the Medal containing its consciousness remains, the Greeed is able to act autonomously and possess human bodies, as was the case with Uva.

The name "Greeed" comes from the English word "greed", as their Medals are powered by human desire, but in the fashion of OOO, there are three E's in their name instead of two. Other than Ankh, the Greeed are named after certain words in Japanese that relate to desire and the method by which their Yummy are created.[4]

Kazari

Kazari (カザリ) is the feline Greeed, an arrogant schemer who is able to move at fast speeds and create mini cyclones, able to use his dreadlocks as tendrils while in his complete form. Having lost the Tiger Core Medal to Ankh, Kazari assumes the form of a silver-haired young man in a yellow checkered blazer to blend in with society. However, of the five Greeed, it would appear he had the least missing Medals when the Greeed were released, seemingly only missing his Tiger Core Medal and the Lion Core Medal. His cat-based 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 can finally reach their complete form and consume the host. After realizing that there are others involved in finding the Core Medals besides them and Kamen Rider OOO, Kazari leaves the other Greeed to learn more of the third party. As a result, Kazari meets Kiyoto Maki and sets up a deal with him in hopes of finding his missing Core Medals, diverting from the Greeed's goal of consumption to one of evolution. This new ideology led to Kazari tricking Gamel into absorbing most of Mezool's Core Medals along with some of Uva's in order to see what would occur from a Greeed acquiring more than nine Core Medals. After the experiment, Kazari absorbed three of Mezool's Core Medals and two of Gamel's to undergo a controlled evolution, augmenting his powers with water- and gravity-based powers while able to create stronger hybrid Yummy with the attributes of those created by Mezool and Gamel. Using his new powers, Kazari manages to get all but one of his Core Medals back to reach his complete form before losing his Lion and Cheetah Core Medals to Eiji.

He eventually recruits Ankh (Lost) to his side while convincing Maki to sever his ties to the Kougami Foundation. This intention changes somewhat after deducting that Uva is trying to revive their fallen brethren, and he decided to assist Uva by faking that he lost Mezool's and Gamel's Core Medals to Uva. After Uva revives Gamel and Mezool, Kazari talks the two into joining his side and help him in destroying Uva. When Ankh joins forces with the Greeed with a revived Uva, he was notably upset that his plans are falling apart and that he is no longer the second-in-command of the group, to the point where he picked a fight with Ankh to blow off steam. Kazari is forced to play along until he manages to regain his Core Medals from Kamen Rider OOO by tricking Gamel into being a distraction and use his full power to take the other Greeed's Core Medals while heavily damaging Kamen Rider Birth. After Kamen Rider OOO Putotyra Combo damages one of his three Lion Core Medals, which happens to hold his consciousness, a wounded Kazari limps away before being found by Maki who assumes his Greeed form and rips out his remaining intact Core Medals. Kazari is then left to die, lamenting of never achieving his desire to have everything, as he breaks down into Cell Medals and his unstable Lion Medal shatters with only eight of his Core Medals were left in existence before they are sucked into the black hole that emerged from the Kyouryu Greeed's body.

The name "Kazari" comes from the Japanese word kazaru (飾る, "to decorate"),[4] as his Yummy's original method was engulfing the victim as the desires are fulfilled.

Kazari is portrayed by Taito Hashimoto (橋本 汰斗, Hashimoto Taito).[10][11]

Uva

Uva (ウヴァ) is the insect Greeed, the most hot-headed of his kind, able to jump long distances and discharge lightning from the claws on his right arm and the horns on his head. Having lost more Medals than some of the other Greeed, Uva is the first to track down Ankh to regain his Grasshopper and Mantis Core Medals from him. He assumes the form of a young man who wears a green leather jacket in order to blend in with society. His insect-based Yummy pull themselves out of the bodies of certain humans, then seek out and physically consume the object of their progenitor's desire before molting into their complete forms. However, starting with his Swallowtail Yummy, this has changed to carrying out the desire of their host instead, though taken to an extreme fashion, and Uva typically remains in contact with the host to some degree. Uva has been the only Greeed who bothered creating the weaker Waste Yummy (屑ヤミー, Kuzu Yamī). In the aftermath of Kazari's scheme with Mezool and Gamel undone by their own Core Medals, Uva decides to act on his own so he can find his own form of evolution through the Core Medals while creating the Waste Yummy to do his bidding. However, though he manages to take some of Gamel's and Mezool's Core Medals after the destruction of the Mega Greeed, Uva has not absorbed them into his body like Kazari. Instead, he has started seeding people with his Waste Yummy, producing a massive amount of Cell Medals for him to absorb to drastically increase his power while attempting to resurrect the two fallen Greeed. Though Uva succeeds reviving Gamel and Mezool, they turn on him as they, Kazari, and Ankh (Lost) destroy Uva's body. However, Uva's sole Stag Beetle Core Medal manages to latch onto a man named Kusada, using him as a human host before Ankh finds him and uses his Yummy to help Uva recreate his body. Supporting Ankh in his fight with Kazari, Uva manages to regain the Core Medals Kazari took from him and later gets all but one of his Grasshopper Core Medals back prior to Maki giving it to him. Assuming his complete form, Uva proceeds to overpower the Kamen Riders. When Kamen Rider OOO returns, using the King's Medals to fight as Tatoba Combo, Uva is ultimately mortally wounded in the fight, but Maki intervenes by throwing the Core Medals into him. He initially thanks the doctor for saving him, but eventually runs away due to Maki keep throwing extra Core Medals into him, causing him to start to destabilize. Though he attempted to fight the extra Core Medals, Uva is forcefully transformed into the Medal Vessel Chaos Form (メダルの器 暴走形態, Medaru no Utsuwa Bōsō Keitai), turning into the vessel of desire by converting all consumed matter into Cell Medals while creating Waste Yummy as a side effect. The Medal Vessel is eventually destroyed as Uva's Core Medals are all sucked into the black hole that emerged from the Kyouryu Greeed's body.

The name "Uva" comes from the Japanese word ubau (奪う, "to snatch away"),[4] as Uva's Yummy steal the source of desire from their surroundings, making themselves stronger.

Uva is portrayed by Yūsuke Yamada (山田 悠介, Yamada Yūsuke).[10] In the music video for "Anything Goes!", Uva makes a cameo as he fights Kamen Rider OOO.[12]

Gamel

Gamel (ガメル, Gameru) is the heavy animal Greeed, physically the strongest of the four, yet has the mentality of a dimwitted spoiled child that makes him unable to work well with others normally save Mezool, whom he has an attachment to. Other than his brute strength and gauntlet armored fists, Gamel also can form a long trunk from his face to use as a weapon and gravity manipulating abilities. But in his full form, Gamel can turn anything he touches into Cell Medals. He is incomplete due to his Core Medals missing, only having five left by the time he was awakened. His human form is a young man who wears a grey mesh shirt over a black undershirt. In human form, he is often seen eating snacks although like any other Greeed, has no sense of taste and would even eat the inedible. Unlike the other Greeed, Gamel uses his body to create his large animal-based Yummy by inserting a Cell Medal into his own forehead upon observing a particular behavior he wants to mimic, thus satiating his own desires with the created Yummy being composed of a single Cell Medal. Because of his easily duped nature, Gamel was used as the subject of an experiment by Kazari, who gave him most of Mezool's Core Medals along with several of Uva's. The resulting 14 Core Medals seemingly restored his full form, but Gamel suffered from energy overload as a result of not having nine Cores of his own to maintain the power before Mezool absorbed him. After Mezool was destroyed, Gamel's Core Medals are divided among the surviving Greeed, with Ankh claiming one Gorilla Core Medal. Uva later manages to revive Gamel, assuming that he was taking a long nap, but he follows Mezool on siding with Kazari and Ankh (Lost). Later, after Ankh gives him back his Core Medals to assume his complete form, Gamel is shocked to discover that Mezool no longer wants him around, only managing to find her after she had been fatally wounded in a fight with Kamen Rider OOO. Knocking the Kamen Riders away, Gamel spirits one of Mezool's remaining Electric Eel Core Medals in a futile attempt to recreate her using humans to rebuild her body. However, two of Gamel's Core Medals are heavily damaged by Maki, eventually manifesting after Gamel takes a point blank range double Cell Burst from Kamen Rider Birth's and Birth Proto Type's Breast Cannons. He breaks down soon after, with only seven of his Core Medals were left in existence before they are sucked into the black hole that emerged from the Kyouryu Greeed's body.

The name "Gamel" comes from the Japanese word gameru (がめる, "to pilfer"),[4] as Gamel uses others' desires to create Yummy from his own body.

Gamel is portrayed by Hiroyuki Matsumoto (松本 博之, Matsumoto Hiroyuki).[10][13]

Mezool

Mezool (メズール, Mezūru) is the aquatic animal Greeed, the only female of the group with the ability to generate torrents of water from her hand and possessing great agility, able to convert her body into a liquid at her full power. Though incomplete due to some of her Core Medals going missing, Mezool appears to be the most kind of the Greeed as her methods can provide enough Cell Medals for both herself and the other Greeed. She serves as a mother figure to the others, as her desire is to know and feel true love, reflecting in her relation to Gamel and her human form of a high school-aged girl. Her marine life-based Yummy, which first become roe-like eggs, feed indirectly off the human's desire while forming a "nest" that incubates over a period of time while the human indulges their desire. Their presence mostly concealed until the eggs hatch into their complete forms, either with one Yummy at a time or all eggs hatch into an army, compelled to return to Mezool and break up into many Cell Medals for her and the Greeed to ingest. After being tricked by Kazari as he takes all but one of her Core Medals, she finds herself on the run from Uva before finding Gamel and absorbing him to regain her Core Medals as well as any other Core Medals in Gamel's body. Not having all of her Core Medals to contain the power, her seemingly complete form ended up being just as unstable before Maki adds two of Uva's Core Medals and several thousand Cell Medals. The additional energy forces the Greeed to become a Mega Greeed. As a result of becoming a Mega Greeed Out of Control (巨大グリード暴走態, Kyodai Gurīdo Bōsōtai) due to the unstable power within her, her new leviathan-like body having heavy animal characteristics due to the influence of Gamel's Medals, Mezool becomes a mindless monster with an obsession to consume everything in sight. With assistance from Kamen Rider Birth, Kamen Rider OOO retrieves Uva's two Core Medals from the Mega Greeed's body and destroys her with Gatakiriba Combo. Mezool's Core Medals are then divided among the remaining Greeed, with Ankh claiming one Electric Eel Core Medal. After Uva manages to revive her, Mezool sides with Kazari's group after suffering defeat at the hands of Kamen Rider OOO Putotyra Combo, to escape destruction once again now at the hands of Kazari and Ankh (Lost) as well as so she can regain the rest of her Core Medals. Later, after Ankh gives her back her Core Medals to assume her complete form, spurred by Maki knowing it was a façade, Mezool leaves Gamel in order to achieve her desire. To that end, she proceeds to abduct mother/child pairs and sealing them in her Yummy eggs, sucking both the love and life out of them. With her full power, Mezool is able to counter Kamen Rider OOO Latorartar Combo before he uses the Toride Vendor and the Medagabryu to shatter a full set of her Core Medals. Mezool then dies as Gamel arrives in her final moments, with only six of her Core Medals left in existence were left in existence before they are sucked into the black hole that emerged from the Kyouryu Greeed's body.

The name "Mezool" comes from the Japanese word mezuru (愛ずる, "to love"),[4] as it reflects Mezool's desire while her Yummy grow from the obsessions of the host.

Mezool is voiced by Yukana (ゆかな),[10] while her human form is portrayed by Honoka Miki (未来 穂香, Miki Honoka).[14][15]

Ankh (Lost)

Ankh (Lost) (アンク（ロスト）, Anku (Rosuto)) is a Greeed that came into being when Ankh transferred the Hawk Core Medal containing his mind into his right arm before it was severed from the rest of his body when he and the other Greeed were sealed. The body ended up in a state of suspended animation, developing into separate being with childlike mind and desire to become whole. Ankh (Lost) awakens when Kougami extracted a Condor Core Medal, traveling to Japan in search of Ankh and making himself known after a series of bird Yummies he created which act on his desire to find Ankh. Ankh (Lost) later allies himself with Kazari and Maki, replicating the form of young boy as his human guise while his personality gradually develops into one similar to Ankh's. Combined with the tutoring from Kazari and the other Greeed, Ankh (Lost) created the Gamecock Yummy in a complex and very successful plan to reabsorb his other half while his guard was down.

Despite absorbing Ankh, Ankh (Lost) finds other's self is continuing to resist as he weakened his regeneration by secretly giving Hina a Hawk Core Medal at the last second. Ankh (Lost) is eventually destroyed when Kamen Rider OOO Putotyra Combo goes berserk and destroys three red Core Medals that were the foundation of his existence, leaving two of each of Ankh's Core Medals remaining until all but a broken Hawk Core Medal are sucked into the black hole that emerged from the Kyouryu Greeed's body.

Compared to the original, Ankh (Lost) refers to himself with the humble pronoun "Boku" (僕), as opposed to the Ankh's boastful "Ore" (俺), and retains almost all of Ankh's powers with abilities similar to OOO's Tajadol Combo. Additionally, his true form resembling Ankh's Greeed form with the right side of his body incomplete, Ankh (Lost) can create bird-themed Yummy that attack people to extract an attribute which they later feed to their host, much like a mother bird feeding her chicks.[16]

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

Giru

Giru (ギル) is a dinosaur Greeed who only appears in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core. During the events of Movie War Core, he creates a male Pteranodon Yummy to arrange the creation of Kamen Rider Core and the resulting doomsday from the monster's creation. He is originally in an inactive state prior to the series, as the ten Core Medals that comprise him were sealed away before being found by the Kougami Foundation and locked up because of the Medals' destructive power. However, they were stolen by Kiyoto Maki after severing ties with the Foundation. Five of the Core Medals sense the presence of Kamen Rider OOO and enter Eiji Hino's body, while the other five were inserted into Doctor Maki by Kazari. Eiji's implanted Core Medals give him the ability to detect Yummy like Ankh can, with his eyes flashing purple whenever this happens or when the Medals otherwise take over his body, and later, when he consciously summons the purple Core Medals; while Maki's allow him to use Cell Medals to create both dinosaur-based and mythical animal-based Yummy. The Yummy created by the Purple Core Medals are made using inanimate objects that represent the end of a desire, such as broken dreams. Though he is originally reluctant to be in the same area as Eiji under the notion that Medals' full power would be invoked, Maki decides to take advantage of Eiji without Ankh while presenting how far his body has undergone Greeedification before he completely turns into a Greeed soon after.

The name "Giru" comes from the Japanese word uragiru (裏切る, "to betray"), as his Yummy are the opposite of other Greeeds' Yummy by destroying desire rather than embodying it.

Giru is voiced by Kenji Hamada (浜田 賢二, Hamada Kenji). While the character is referred to by the name "Giru" in the film, Hamada is credited solely as the voice of the "Dinosaur Greeed" (恐竜グリード, Kyōryū Gurīdo) in the film's credits.

Chiyoko Shiraishi

Chiyoko Shiraishi (白石 千世子, Shiraishi Chiyoko) is the owner of the International Cuisine Restaurant Cous Coussier (多国籍料理店クスクシエ, Takokuseki Ryōriten Kusukushie), serving dishes from all over the world. She enjoys cosplaying as a method to bring more customers to her restaurant, frequently changing her restaurant's decor to satisfy different cultural themes. She hires Hina due to her having superhuman strength to lift things around the restaurant, and later Eiji, due to him being a world traveler. She also allows Ankh to stay at the restaurant after Eiji told her that he is a foreigner with a horrible childhood. Later, she also hires Shintaro Goto as a waiter. Chiyoko is initially the only recurring character to be unaware of the full scope of the Greeed situation, with Hina and Eiji going to lengths to prevent her from learning of Ankh's true nature and OOO. However, after considering the seriousness of the situation when Eiji fully transforms into a Greeed and Ankh is nearly destroyed, Hina decides to reveal everything to Chiyoko. Furthermore, Chiyoko strongly resembles Dr. Maki's deceased sister and caused the doctor great stress when he meets her for the first time before her kindness strengthen his resolve to destroy everything. Prior to the final battle, Chiyoko ends up being Kiyo-chan's new owner.

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 civilization in Europe who became the First OOO (先代オーズ, Sendai Ōzu) 800 years ago, different from Eiji as the King was a man with a ball of desire (欲望の塊, Yokubō no Katamari) who desired godhood. To that end, the King commissioned Gara and three other alchemists to create the Greeed for the purpose of achieving his goal to become a god through the Core Medals, using the power to subjugate his enemies while hunting the Greeed. But the king's avarice drove him mad and proved to be his undoing when completely overwhelmed upon using the powers of all the Core Medals at once, thus turning his body into a stone coffin which Ankh's arm and the other Greeed were sealed in. The King's only known descendant, Kousei Kougami, attempts to finish his work in the present through Eiji Hino.

The OOO Driver and the O Scanner that the king used had a more deeper and distorted voice unlike the ones used by Eiji in the present. The King also had a special set of the Hawk, Tiger, and Grasshopper Core Medals which were stronger than the normal set of Core Medals. An artistic depiction of the first OOO showed a form similar to Tatoba Combo wearing a cape and armed with a gauntlet similar to the Taja Spinner and a sword similar to the Medajaribur.

Film characters

Nobunaga

Nobunaga (ノブナガ) is the primary antagonist of the Kamen Rider OOO: Nobunaga's Desire segment of Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core. Nobunaga is a Cell Medal-based homonculus created by the Kougami Foundation from the mummified remains of the conqueror Oda Nobunaga, running off scared and confused. Assuming the form of the Greeed-like Armored Warrior Inhumanoid (鎧武者怪人, Yoroimusha Kaijin), Nobunaga targeted those descended from the ones who arranged his death while Eiji looked after him and taught him about the modern world before his services are no longer needed. However, Nobunaga's body was suffering a Cell Medal breakdown before he is forced to absorb the three Black Core Medals by Kiyoto Maki to become a mindless Greeed before he is defeated by Kamen Rider OOO Sagohzo Combo After his defeat, Nobunaga asked Eiji to give Yoshino a flower from him before he disperses into Cell Medals while the three Black Core Medals fly into the distance, resonating with the Memory Memory.

Nobunaga is portrayed by Kengo Ohkuchi (大口 兼悟, Ōkuchi Kengo). The Armored Warrior Inhumanoid form is voiced by Keikō Sakai (酒井 敬幸, Sakai Keikō). In promotional materials, the Armored Warrior Inhumanoid was referred to as the "Armored Warrior Greeed" (鎧武者グリード, Yoroi Musha Gurīdo).

Yoshino Akechi

Yoshino Akechi (明智 よしの, Akechi Yoshino) is a supporting protagonist in the Kamen Rider OOO: Nobunaga's Desire segment of Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core. She is a senior friend of Hina and a descendant of Akechi Mitsuhide, the legendary samurai who betrayed and killed Oda Nobunaga. She dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer and Nobunaga falls in love with her because of her dancing when he was unable to kill her like the others. When she breaks her leg as a result of Nobunaga not taking her rejection well, her dashed hopes of ever dancing again are used to create the female Pteranodon Yummy. Nobunaga gives his last energy in order to heal her leg to live her dream.

Yoshino Akechi is portrayed by Sayako (彩也子).[17]

Shocker Greeed

The Shocker Greeed (ショッカーグリード, Shokkā Gurīdo) is a Greeed created by Shocker whose Core Medal was found by Shocker and converted into the Shocker Core Medal. Originally, Shocker was never able to utilize the Shocker Core Medal's power in their schemes. However, a Cell Medal that Ankh left behind in the past during his attempt to use the Den-Liner to get his hand on the other Greeeds' Core Medals provided Shocker with the means to bring their creation to life and cause the events of OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders to occur. Defeating Kamen Riders #1 and #2 in the past, the Shocker Greeed allowed Shocker to proceed with their plans to rule the world. But in the present, having faked their resulting brainwash thanks to a time paradox caused by the attempt to undo the monster's birth, the Double Riders manage to destroy the Shocker Greeed with their Double Rider Kick. Though Ankh obtained the Shocker Core Medal, it later dissolved.

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

Tokugawa Yoshimune

Tokugawa Yoshimune (徳川 吉宗) is the eighth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan, who roams freely through Japan disguised as a Samurai named Tokuda Shinnosuke (徳田 新之助). Tokugawa works alongside Kamen Rider OOO in the past to protect the city of Edo. During the battle with the Nue Yummy, he gives Kamen Rider OOO the orange Core Medals that was sent to him as a gift from Europe.

Tokugawa Yoshimune is portrayed by Ken Matsudaira (松平 健, Matsudaira Ken), who also played exactly the same role in The Unfettered Shogun. Matsudaira also performs the theme song for Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals alongside Shu Watanabe (as Eiji Hino) and Ryosuke Miura (as Ankh).

Gara

Gara (ガラ) is an androgynous orange-robed alchemist who was among the four that created the Core Medals for the King eight centuries ago along with the orange Core Medals, having intended to become "true OOO" (真のオーズ, Shin no Ōzu) by using the Core Medals to destroy the world and rule over what remains as King of the World (世界の王, Sekai no Ō). But the King killed Gara alongside the other alchemists once they fulfilled their commission, with Gara buried in Thuringia. Reawakened in June 2011 when Kougami unearths his tomb, Gara uses his alchemy to flip the area surrounding his tower from Germany over to Tokyo as he captures Kougami and Satonaka while possessing the body of Satsuki Wakaba (若葉 五月, Wakaba Satsuki). From there, seeing the world had not changed since his sealing, Gara takes the Greeeds' Core Medals and proceeds to use human desire to cause three time distortions in order to execute his doomsday scenario. He sends the Nue Yummy and his Knights to the time distortion leading into Edo to obtain the remaining Core Medal sets needed to complete his plan. However, falling for Kougami's trick, Gara's scheme to use human desire fails when his attempts to use Eiji's desire to his advantage damages the device.

Using the gathered Cell Medals when Kamen Rider OOO enters his tower, Gara assumes his true Greeed-like Inhumanoid Form (怪人態, Kaijintai) with extendable arms prior OOO manages to free Satsuki from the monster's body. Though being defeated when Kamen Rider Fourze arrives to double team the monster, Gara acquires Eiji's purple Core Medals to use all the Core Medal sets to transmute himself into the Mega Greeed-like Gara Dragon (ガラドラゴン, Gara Doragon) before being destroyed for good by all eight OOO Combos' Scanning Charges and Kamen Rider Birth's Breast Cannon.

Alchemist Gara and Satsuki Wakaba are both portrayed by Miki Sakai (酒井 美紀, Sakai Miki). As the Gara-possessed Satsuki, Sakai had her voice digitally deepened and altered for this role. In his true form, Gara is voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo (大友 龍三郎, Ōtomo Ryūzaburō).

Bells

The Bells (ベル, Beru) are Harlequin-like triplet familiars created by Gara to serve him. One of the Belles is sent across the city with to gather human desire for her creator with her Chance Time proposition in three areas where she gives five million yen to anyone willing to have a Chonmage hairstyle for the rest of his or her life. Managing to reach two thirds of her goal, Belle attempts to finish the job by offering Eiji a Chance Time to return to modern Tokyo at the cost of everyone else around him ceasing to be. Eiji accepts on the condition that his family also be spared, and then reveals that he considers all the people present his "family", causing Belle to explode into Cell Medals.

The Bells are portrayed by Karin Ogino (荻野 可鈴, Ogino Karin).

Michal Minato

Michal Minato (湊 ミハル, Minato Miharu) is a young man from the year 2050 who has the ability to transform into the heroic Kamen Rider Aqua (仮面ライダーアクア, Kamen Raidā Akua) by using the Aqua Driver (アクアドライバー, Akua Doraibā), which uses a liquid called Manas Aqua (マナスアクア, Manasu Akua). Though his powers are based around water, Michal is ironically scared of water. Michal absorbed Cell Medals and Core Medals that came out of a mysterious black hole, which later creates Kamen Rider Poseidon. Michal transforms into Kamen Rider Aqua to help Kamen Rider OOO to defeat Poseidon. After the battle, he gives Eiji the Super Hawk, Super Tiger, and Super Grasshopper Core Medals from the future before going back to his time to protect it after realizing what it means to be a Kamen Rider. Michal later returns to the present during the events of Kamen Rider Zi-O, getting caught up in the titular protagonist's final battles where he died protecting him.

Kamen Rider Aqua's Rider Kicks are called the Oceanic Break (オーシャニックブレイク, Ōshanikku Bureiku) and the Aqua Vortex (アクアヴォルテクス, Akua Vorutekusu). Kamen Rider Aqua has a personal jet ski called the Aqua Miraider (アクアミライダー, Akua Miraidā).[18][19][20] Kamen Rider Aqua is designed to resemble the first two Kamen Riders 1 and 2, with a simpler design and the tear-stain–like lines on his mask.[21] Michal also possesses a prototype version of the Time Mazine that appeared in Kamen Rider Zi-O for time travel purposes.

Michal Minato is portrayed by Atsushi Arai (荒井　敦史, Arai Atsushi).

Kamen Rider Poseidon

Kamen Rider Poseidon (仮面ライダーポセイドン, Kamen Raidā Poseidon) is a Greed-like entity formed from the Cell Medals and Core Medals within Michal's body, turning him evil 40 years into the future. As Michal, he is given three marine fish theme Core Medals (the cyan Shark (サメ, Same), the blue Whale (キジラ, Kujira) and the red Wolf Fish (オーカミウオ, Ōkamiuo) Core Medals) and a similar belt as the OOO Driver known as the Poseidon Driver (ポセイドンドライバー, Poseidon Doraibā), which he receives from the aged Kousei Kougami in his time. He then becomes able to transform into Kamen Rider Poseidon. Kamen Rider Poseidon uses a large crimson harpoon called the Deepest Harpoon (ディーペストハープーン, Dīpesuto Hāpūn) as a weapon. He then arrives to the present time in Michal's body to eliminate all Kamen Riders. The Kamen Rider Poseidon entity is eventually split from Michal's body in his Kamen Rider Poseidon form. Kamen Rider Poseidon is defeated by Kamen Rider OOO Tajadol Combo's Prominence Drop and Kamen Rider Aqua's Oceanic Break, his Core Medals taken for Kannagi to transform into the Super Gingaoh.

Kamen Rider Poseidon is voiced by Kenji Hamada (浜田 賢二, Hamada Kenji).
