Source-derived summary

Kamen Rider Den-O (仮面ライダー電王, Kamen Raidā Den'ō) is a Japanese tokusatsu series that serves as the 17th installment in the Kamen Rider franchise and the eighth entry in the Heisei era.

Main characters

Ryotaro Nogami

Ryotaro Nogami (野上 良太郎, Nogami Ryōtarō) is an optimistic yet unlucky young man who becomes Kamen Rider Den-O after picking up a Rider Pass (ライダーパス, Raidā Pasu) and being convinced by Hana to help mankind. Over the course of the series, he discovers that he is a Singularity Point (特異点, Tokuiten), an individual who can overpower Imagin attempting to possess him, exist outside of time, and is largely immune to timeline changes. Additionally, he forms bonds with Imagin who disagree with their kind's methods and allow him to assume stronger forms.

Utilizing a Rider Pass in conjunction with the Den-O Belt (デンオウベルト, Den'ō Beruto), Ryotaro can transform into the base Kamen Rider Den-O Plat Form (プラットフォーム, Puratto Fōmu). While transformed, he wields the DenGasher (デンガッシャー, Dengasshā), which can be reconfigured into varying forms that allow him to perform Full Charge (フルチャージ, Furu Chāji) finishers. However, due to his lack of combat prowess and Plat Form's lack of offensive capabilities, Ryotaro initially allows his Imagin partners to possess him and assume combat-oriented forms tailored to their fighting styles. His personal vehicle is the Machine DenBird (マシンデンバード, Mashin Denbādo) motorcycle.

Later in the series, Ryotaro acquires additional items that can combine with his preexisting devices to achieve the following power-up forms:

Climax Form (クライマックスフォーム, Kuraimakkusu Fōmu): Ryotaro's super form accessed by combining the Den-O Belt and the K-Taros (ケータロス, Kētarosu) cellphone that allows him to fuse with all four of his Imagin partners at once.

Super Climax Form (超・クライマックスフォー, Chō Kuraimakkusu Fōmu): An evolution of Climax Form that fuses with Sieg to grant a pair of bird wings.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “List of Kamen Rider Den-O characters” as wikimedia list article. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around List, Kamen and Rider.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 301-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with List, Kamen and Rider providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Critical limits

The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
