Kamen Rider Fourze Press Conference, More About the Switches & Character Profiles


The press conference for Kamen Rider Fourze happened yesterday and asides from that, TV-Asahi's official website for Kamen Rider Fourze is opened today which includes the story (which we knew days ago), official character info and some details regarding each Switch!

Kamen Rider Fourze's transformation device is the Fourze Driver, a bulky belt which has four slots for his Astro Switches. Each Switch can affect Fourze's arms and legs and each of them represents the following: Right arm - Rocket, Right leg - Launcher, Left arm - Radar, and Left leg - Drill.


In the press conference, we get to see Fourze in action and here the belt's henshin sound which goes like, "3, 2, 1" then Gentaro will yell the word, "Henshin!" to tranform into this Rider. He then fights the monster and after the fight he said, "Argh! I am late!" Such a typical high school student.


From left to right: Tomoko, Sarina, Miwa, Shun, Chuuta, Kengo, Gentaro, Yuuki and The Man with Red Eyes

Gentaro Kisaragi: The main character of the series, second year high school student who recently transferred to Amanogawa Academy. A bad boy rocking a short pompadour hairstyle. He declares that he will become friends with everyone in the school. He meets Kengo Utahoshi as if it was destined for them to meet. Gentaro receives the Fourze Driver and starts the Kamen Rider Club in school. He seems to be an idiotic character.

Kengo Utahoshi: The main character's partner, second year. A young man who had the mysterious switches and the key person to the whole story. His locker seems to be distorting space and he's somehow able to reach the moon base, "Rabbit Hatch" through the locker. He's also able to pull out the super bike "Machine Masshigura." He might be physically weak, but he has strong heart full of will.


Yuuki Joujima: The heroine of the story, second year. She's Gentaro's childhood friend. A bright and cheerful high school student, she refers herself as a "space nerd." She usually heads over to JAXA after school. JAXA is like some space thing in Japan. She's the only one that Kengo can actually trust, Kengo shared his secret about his special locker to her.

Miu Kazashiro: Third year. She's somewhat the queen of the school as she is a cheerleader also, the daughter of a rich family. Ever since she was born, she was always treated like the Queen Bee. No matter where she goes in school, her two sidekicks will always follow her. She's a beuatiful girl with pride.

Jun Daimonji: Third year. The captain of the American Football team. There's a hierarchy going on in Amanogawa Academy, with sports-oriented guys on the top and they are usually bullies, referred as jocks. Jun is standing on the absolute top.


Tomoko Nozama: First year. She's the goth girl with black make up under her eyes. She always brings her Tablet PC with her and has a weird laughter. She seems to fixate and obsess over various things, but the details are unknown.

JK (Jake): First year. Jake is the information provider of the school. He easily detects danger and is a coward who always runs away.

Sarina Sonoda: Gentaro's homeroom teacher and the teacher of classical literature. She's young and beautiful, every student loves her. Although, she has trouble with Gentaro and Kengo.


Chuuta Oosugi: The geography teacher. He's middle-aged man with bad looks and personality. No one seems to like him. He seems to be trying to get it with Sonoda, but it just won't happen.

The Man with Red Eyes: A mysterious man who caused some incident and has the Zodiarts Switches. He seems to have a connection with the school, but he's a complete mystery.

Also, Sota Fukushi who played Gentaro Kisaragi/Kamen Rider Fourze's Japanese Wikipedia entry states that he auditioned for Kamen Rider for his parents who are big Kamen Rider fans and when he told them that he got the role, his parents are freaking out and told their friends that their son is the new Rider! Kamen Rider Fourze will premiere on September 4th, replacing Kamen Rider OOO.
