Hero Overview

My name is Takeru Tenkuji. On my eighteenth birthday, I was killed by a rampaging Ganma. In order to come back to life, I became Kamen Rider Ghost and began gathering the luminaries' Eyecons.
~ Takeru Tenkuji
My life will burn bright!
~ Takeru's battle cry

Takeru Tenkūji is the one with the power to transform into Kamen Rider Ghost and the titular main protagonist of Kamen Rider Ghost.

He is portrayed by Shun Nishime.

Powers and Abilities[]

Takeru retains some of his abilities following his revival as a human.

  • Mind Reading: When Takeru comes into physical contact with someone, he is sometimes able to read the thoughts and memories of that person. However, this power kicks in arbitrarily.
  • Danger Sense: Takeru is able to sense if a grave danger, usually involving a Gammaizer, is occurring nearby.
  • Clairvoyance Mediumship: Takeru is able see spirits or ghosts nearby him.
  • Force-Field Generation: Whenever Takeru wishes to be alone, he can generate a force field around himself to prevent others from disturbing him.

Ghost Powers[]

As a ghost, Takeru possessed the following powers and abilities. As noted by Freya much later after the defeat of the Great Eyezer, Takeru had eventually evolved into an immortal being infused with countless of souls, though he lost these abilities after his revival.

  • Limbo: Takeru is granted half-life, between life and death
  • Invisibility/Intangibility: Like a ghost/spirit, the deceased Takeru is naturally both invisible and intangible to living people. He has the ability to make himself visible and solid at will, allowing him to interact with humans.
  • Indestructibility: Due to Takeru already being half-dead, he cannot be killed a second time. However, he can still feel pain as he experiences when he is attacked by the Gamma or feels a force of impact such as a fall from a building. This makes Ghost not a truly unstoppable obstacle as an overwhelming sensation of pain can cause him to pass out or temporarily be unable to counterattack.
  • Dreamland Transport: When wearing the dreamland wristband, Takeru was able to directly visit the dreamland, without having to sleep first. As a result, he was unaffected by the illusions, and could transform normally.
  • Emotion Synchronization: After gaining the power of Mugen Damashii, whenever Takeru synchronizes with an emotion resonating strongly within an individual or a group of individuals, his body will glow in a certain color, indicating that he has gained the ability to utilize a weapon attack in Mugen Damashii based on that particular emotion i.e. attacks like Yorokobi Stream, etc.

Abilities[]

  • Expert Martial Artist: Takeru is an expert hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist, having been trained from childhood by his father Ryu Tenkuji in order to become a ghost hunter. His combat skills gradually improved and enhanced as he fought against numerous Gammas as Kamen Rider Ghost throughout the series. Even without transformed, he has proven to be a highly skilled expert martial artist. In Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie Wars Genesis, Takeru was able to effectively fight against numerous Gamma Commando with ease. In Kamen Rider Heisei Generations: Dr. Pac-Man vs. Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Riders, Takeru was able to effectively fight against numerous Minor Bugsters with ease, even hold his own against Ageha Takeda, a bugster and a master hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist in her own right, though she was able to bring him down in the end.
  • Skilled Swordsman: Takeru is high skilled in using swords or two in dual wielding

History[]

Kamen Rider Ghost[]

Takeru Tenkuji was born on October 4, 1997 as the son of Ryu Tenkuji and Yuri Tenkuji, his mother died after giving birth to him.

When he was 8, Takeru's father left him home as he went on a ghost hunting expedition. Before his father apparently died, he sent Takeru a gift of the tsuba from Miyamoto Musashi's katana which he wears on a necklace. As well as his interest in Miyamoto Musashi, Takeru enjoys reading from a book titled Stories of the World's Greatest People (世界偉人伝 Sekai Ijinden) and learning about the history and legends of famous historical figures. Wishing to follow in his father's footsteps as a ghost hunter, Takeru laments being unable to see ghosts, which neither Akari nor Onari believe exist, until he receives an item called an Eyecon (眼魂(アイコン) Aikon) on his 18th birthday, a gift meant for him should his father have truly died. This allows him to see the monstrous ghosts known as Gamma who then attack and kill him, as they are after the Eyecon themselves. He is brought back to life by a mysterious hermit who grants him the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Ghost to fight the Gamma. The hermit tells Takeru he has 99 days to gather the 15 Eyecons of great men from history in order to fully come back to life through the Eyecon Monolith in his bedroom, as the hermit's magic is not powerful enough to truly restore him to life.

However, after seeing his childhood friend Makoto Fukami become the Kamen Rider Specter as a result of his sister Kanon's body being trapped in the Gamma's world. When all 15 Eyecons are gathered by Chikara Saionji, Takeru's pure heart and willpower to be a Kamen Rider allows him to be uncorrupted by the Monolith's magic and he passes on getting his life back so Kanon can be saved.

Eventually, Takeru's time as a ghost runs out and he nearly passes on to the afterlife until his father fuses his soul with Takeru to grant him an extension of 99 more days and granting him the powerful form of Toucon Boost Damashii. Takeru then clashes with the Ganma Prince Alain as his forces take a more active role in the invasion of Takeru's World.

Although his days grew shorter thanks to his wish on Kanon, Takeru decided to spend his last days with his friends. After a battle against Jabel, he ascended to the skies and bid farewell to his friends. Arriving at the afterlife, Takeru reunites with his father Ryu, who lends his son his strength by giving him access to Toucon Boost. Takeru is given a new mission to connect with the Eyecons. As a result, Takeru is given an additional 99 days to complete his mission.

The Eyecon Connection[]

Takeru and his friends embark on a mission to connect with the Eyecons, while gathering the ones that are still lost. As the Eyecons began possessing civilians, Takeru has to gain their approval in order to use their powers. Meanwhile, the Gamma forces were increasing in strength as they began kidnapping human souls. Furthermore, Gamma Superiors had made their way to Earth and the Gamma Prince Alain transformed into Kamen Rider Necrom. Alain sought to return Makoto back to the Gamma, with Takeru dedicated to prevent.

Despite these obstacles, Takeru continues his mission to communicate with the Eyecons. During this time, he would also befriends the Gazai Gamma after sensing its peaceful nature. After saving Specter from Necrom's influence, Takeru learns that Makoto's body is located in the Gamma World. With Takeru's strong determination, he enters the realm and is horrified at the landscape. While trying to locate Makoto's body, Takeru is horrified to discover many humans bodies are placed in capsules, believing the Gamma had abducted them.

Legendary! Riders' Souls![]

Ghost and Specter make a surprising encounter with a non-Gamma monster, the Heart Roidmude, led by the mysterious Frey. Quickly overwhelmed by the new enemy, both Riders are robbed of the Ghost Eyecons beyond their personal ones by Frey and are left in a pinch until the arrival of Freya, who tells the Riders to gather the Rider Eyecons. Ghost goes first, and unlocks the Drive Eyecon to defeat Heart.[Drive Chapter] Soon after, Specter accesses the Double Eyecon to defeat the Terror Dopant.[W Chapter] As Ghost gains the Gaim Eyecon in his fight against Lord Baron, the two start to get the feeling that the monsters' purpose was for them to collect the Rider Eyecons and,[Gaim Chapter] after Specter acquires the Fourze Eyecon against Sagittarius Nova, the Riders confront Freya who they find to be working with Frey.[Fourze Chapter]

Ghost and Specter are then met by Kamen Rider Wiseman and the Kyouryu Greeed as Frey tells them it will be revealed after they defeat them. After Specter's unlocking of the OOO Eyecon to defeat the Kyouryu Greeed leaves only one more to go, the scenario is interrupted by Xibalba, with the two Riders realizing that they were meant to destroy this monster as it absorbs Frey and Freya, enhancing its Gamma Ultima body.[OOO Chapter] As a greatly overwhelmed Specter barely holds off Xibalba, Ghost manages to unlock the Wizard Eyecon, defeating Wiseman. With all six Rider Eyecons in their hands, the two Riders use them as per intention, going through the Rider Damashii they have accessed to fight Xibalba, managing to free Frey and Freya as they wear him down to his original form before destroying him with a combined Omega Drive using the power of the Rider spirits. Ultimately, Takeru and Makoto get no answer as to who exactly Freya and Frey are, but have learnt through collecting the Rider Eyecons that they can overcome many challenges and that if any villain plans to make their world despair, they can fight to the very end to protect people as long as they have their friends and hold on to hope, that kind of heart being what makes a Kamen Rider. The twins' work done, Frey returns the Riders' Ghost Eyecons to them before merging with Freya who, telling the Riders that the real enemy is just waking up, combines the six Rider Eyecons they collected along with the ten Heisei Rider Eyecons she carries to create a single Kamen Rider 45 Ghost Eyecon before returning to her world.[Wizard Chapter]

After returning to his world, Takeru was left traumatized by his experience in the Gamma World after seeing people in capsules disintergrating. Takeru furiously interrogates Alain, who at the time is banished from his family by Adel. While he learns that the humans in the capsules were the Gamma, this did not explain why some had disintergrated. Because of his distraught, his Eyecons leave him temporarily. Takeru later regains the fifteen Heroes' trust and accesses his new form, Grateful Damashii once he faced his inner troubles.

Following his visit in the Gamma World, Takeru gained the ability to view a person's memory by touching them. After completing an investigation into the Gamma's plot to turn middle-aged adults into children with the help of Tutankhanum to restore the victim's actual age, Takeru hears the voice of an unknown woman. It was revealed that the voice was his mother Yuri, who passed away when Takeru was born.

Infinite Possibilities[]

After Makoto's body was destroyed, Takeru became intent in retrieving Makoto's body back from the Gamma World. For unknown reasons, Takeru couldn't perform the ritual with the fifteen Heroes' Eyecon. He would join forces with Alain in the meantime to eventually rescue their friend. Takeru would encounter Adel, the elder brother of Alain who usurped the role as Gamma emperor. The Kamen Riders would eventually come face to face with the Gammaizers, artificial deities of the Gamma World assisting Adel in his mysterious Demia Project.

Kamen Rider 1[]

To be added

Last Chapter: 1 & Heisei[]

Later on, the Riders are led by the Rider Eyecon to the advent of the last enemy, a Gamma Ultima known as the Dark Mind who brings with him revived Nova Shocker generals Urga and Buffal. With Specter backing him up, Ghost makes use of the Kamen Rider 45 Ghost Eyecon, first accessing Ichigou Damashii to destroy Urga and Buffal before transforming into the combined Heisei Damashii to defeat the Dark Mind even after he enhances his form with the Alexander Gamma Eyecon. Their Rider quest finally over, the two Riders delight in their victory.[Last Chapter: 1 & Heisei]

During a battle with the Gammaizers, the Ore Eyecon would shatter which caused Takeru's third death. While his death saddened his comrades and loved ones, they resolved to not give up. Together, they performed a miracle that allowed Takeru to come back to life. This granted him the Mugen Eyecon, allowing Takeru to access his final form, Mugen Damashii, using the form of light to connect everything infinitely. However, despite coming back the third time, he is still in a ghost state.

Takeru would continues to fight Adel's forces while understanding the mystery of the Gammaizers. He would eventually meet the Gamma commander, Edith, who would be later revealed to be Sennin who initally intended the Kamen Riders and Eyecons as countermeasures against the Gammaizers, but did not expect Adel's interventions as he sought to connect with the Great Eye's power.

War for the Great Eye[]

With a few days remaining on Takeru's lifeline, Adel embarks to use Demia to transform Earth like the Gamma World. Takeru leads the Kamen Riders to destroy the Demia servers as they continue battling the resurfaced Gammaizers. He believes he could stop Adel's rampage by connecting with him by appealing to his tragic past. However in doing so, Takeru finds out that Adel was the one who killed his father ten years ago and becomes unable to hold back his rage.

Takeru later arrives at Gamma World with the Kamen Riders and his companions. He would confront Adel one last time, still angered that he killed his father and had hurt Alain. Despite this, Takeru chose to respect Alain's wish to save his elder brother rather than revenge. Takeru shared an affectionate hug to make him realize that his family does love him. Although the Gammaizers took over Adel at the last minute, Takeru was the one to strike him down honorably to let his spirit pass away in peace.

However, the Gammaizers forcibly fuses with the Great Eye to become the Great Eyezer. Despite being on the last day of his lifeline, Takeru continues to fight as Gammaizers and became confident in stopping the behemoth at the cost of the Mugen Eyecon. In the final battle, Kamen Rider Ghost leads the fifteen Heroes to vanquish the Gammaizers for good. With the fifteen Eyecons, Takeru chose to wish back the victims extinguished by the Gamma. As a debt from the Great Eye for freeing them from the Gammaizers, Takeru is restored as a normal human and reunites with his friends.

With the Gammaizers gone for good and Takeru fully revived, Takeru could continue his unfinished education in high school. He later meets a boy named Ayumu, who is being pursued by a mysterious black Kamen Rider. Takeru would later meet Kamen Rider Ex-Aid as they shared the same belief of valuing life. In the end, Takeru decided to take a break from his ghost hunting work to study in school again and catch up with his lessons.
