Lead Rider of Kamen Rider Ryuki, twelfth show of the Kamen Rider series and third of the Heisei generation, as well as the first Rider from the same generation to be given an American adaptation, Dragon Knight.
Rookie journalist Kido Shinji finds himself in the middle of the Rider War, a deathmatch between 13 Kamen Riders, upon making a contract with Dragreder, a Mirror Monster (themselves responsible for mysterious deaths throughout the city), to transform into Ryuki, fighting both Mirror Monsters and other Riders, as well as uncovering the truth of the Rider War.
Ryuki has a red color scheme and is modeled after both the Chinese dragon and a knight. He also uses Advent Cards to enhance his combat capabilities. Finally, he can upgrade into the bulkier, more powerful Ryuki Survive Form.
List of Advent Cards he owns
Advent: Call Dragreder.
Sword Vent: Summons DragSaber, the dao that resemble DragReder's tail.
Strike Vent: Summons DragClaw, the gauntlet that resemble DragReder's head.
Guard Vent: Summons up to two DragShield, the shields that resemble DragReder's belly and limbs. They can also be worn as shoulder armor.
Final Vent: The special move, Dragon Rider Kick, is activated. He jumps high into the air, catches Dragreder's fire breath on his back, and swoops down while covered in flames, kicking his target.
