kamen rider kabuto

"Walking the path of heaven, ruling over all."

Lead Rider of Kamen Rider Kabuto, sixteenth show of the Kamen Rider series and seventh of the Heisei generation.

Tendou Souji is an enigmatic young man who has trained for 7 years in anticipation of the Kabuto Zecter and the Rider Belt, with which he combats the Worms, monsters feeding on and imitating humans, which came from a meteorite which destroyed Tokyo's Shibuya ward 7 years ago.

Kabuto is patterned after the Japanese rhinoceros beetle ("kabutomushi", trypoxylus dichotomus). He has four forms - the bulky Masked (initial) and the sleek Rider (default) Forms, and the powered-up Hyper Kabuto and its winged Clock-Up Hyper Kabuto Forms. His special ability is Clock-Up, which gives him superspeed.
