Main characters
Sougo Tokiwa
Sougo Tokiwa (常磐 ソウゴ, Tokiwa Sōgo)[a] is an 18-year old student, later 19-year old graduate, of Hikarigamori High School (光ヶ森高等学校, Hikarigamori Kōtō Gakkō) who dreamed of becoming a king after experiencing a series of nightmares in his childhood and being visited by a mysterious figure who entrusted him with the prophecy. After surviving a bus accident when he was nine, Sougo became orphaned and since then lived with his great-uncle at 9-to-5. After meeting Tsukuyomi and Geiz, Sougo learns he will become Ohma Zi-O, a tyrant destined to rule the world with an iron fist. Despite being troubled by this possibility, Sougo chooses to continue following his dream while changing his fate, accepting the power to become Kamen Rider Zi-O and declaring that he will become a benevolent tyrant instead. Despite Geiz and Tsukuyomi's reservations, Sougo considers them friends and trusts them with his life, asking both of them to kill him should he follow the path to becoming Ohma Zi-O. All the while, Sougo's predecessor Tsukasa Kadoya secretly watches over him to ensure he succeeds in changing his fate.
Originally a visionary high school student prior to his graduation, Sougo develops other strengths along his journey. Due to his observant nature and keen understanding of human behavior, he became a skilled manipulator capable of outsmarting a genius of Kuroto Dan's caliber. In 2019, Sougo develops the ability to subconsciously create alternate futures, which he initially assumed were prophetic dreams of Kamen Riders from White Woz's timeline. Ever since the bus accident, he also gained chronokinesis like the Time Jackers. However, their leader Swartz erased Sougo's memory of it before the latter regains his powers after he becomes Grand Zi-O.
As Swartz commences a convergence of the A.R. Worlds, Tsukuyomi seemingly betrays Sougo and Geiz is killed saving him. In response, an enraged Sougo becomes Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O to defeat Swartz himself before sacrificing his newfound power to reset the timeline, negating his destiny and undoing Swartz's damage. Due to this, he relives his senior year in 2018 with altered versions of Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and the Time Jackers as his classmates in the new timeline.
In the sequel special Kamen Rider Zi-O Next Time: Geiz, Majesty, Sougo regains his Rider powers while helping Geiz in his fight against a new White Woz, who became Another Diend to become a savior.
In an alternate timeline depicted in the film Kamen Rider Zi-O the Movie: Over Quartzer, Sougo and his friends help Go Shijima preserve Kamen Rider Drive's history after Oda Nobunaga lost the Battle of Nagashino. Despite succeeding, Black Woz betrays him, taking all of Sougo's Ride Watches (ライドウォッチ, Raido Wotchi) and imprisoning him on behalf of the Quartzers. Despite this, Sougo is released by Tsukuyomi and Go and receives the Ohma Zi-O Ride Watch to defeat the Quartzers' leader, an adult version of himself from an alternate timeline. After Sougo defeats his evil counterpart, he is recognized as a king.
In the web-exclusive spin-offs Rider Time: Kamen Rider Decade vs. Zi-O: The Decade House Death Game and Rider Time: Kamen Rider Zi-O vs. Decade: 7 of Zi-Os!, an alternate universe version of Sougo who became a basketball player becomes trapped in the titular House Death Game and encounters Tsukasa, who was trying to lure the "prime" version of Sougo to the game.

Tsukuyomi
Tsukuyomi (ツクヨミ), real name Alpina (アルピナ, Arupina), is a mysterious 18-year-old girl of nobility from the year 2068 and the younger sister of Time Jacker leader, Swartz. She was chosen to succeed her parents due to her chronokinetic powers, though Swartz intended to use her for his own ends. When she hesitated to stop him, he erased her memories and stranded her in Ohma Zi-O's timeline, where she ended up with a resistance movement against him under a new name. Disapproving of Geiz's plan to kill Sougo in 2018 for fear of damaging the timeline, she travels back in time with him to help Sougo avert his future through gentler means.
Initially, Tsukuyomi finds it difficult to believe the kindly Sougo could become the tyrannical Ohma Zi-O. As his Rider powers grow in strength however, she becomes paranoid and demands Geiz kill Sougo. When the former refuses, she travels back in time to the latter's childhood to do it herself. However, she discovers Swartz orchestrated everything that had happened throughout the series, including Sougo becoming Zi-O. While trying to save the younger Sougo from her brother, Tsukuyomi inadvertently causes the bus accident that claimed Sougo's parents' lives as well as severe damage to the timeline. She is saved by Tsukasa Kadoya, who shows her how Swartz kidnapped all of the children on the bus as they all had the potential to become Zi-O.
Realizing her mistake and that Sougo becoming Ohma Zi-O was one of many possible futures, a repentant Tsukuyomi makes amends with Sougo and Geiz. Soon after, she begins to slowly regain her memories after rediscovering her powers and meeting her younger self in 2058. Amidst Another Zi-O II's attacks, Tsukuyomi is captured by the Time Jackers so Swartz can reveal their original past to her before taking her powers. As she fully regains her original memories, Black Woz rescues her once Another Zi-O II is defeated.
When Swartz causes a convergence of the Kamen Rider multiverse, he attempts to kill Tsukuyomi since she had the power to stop him. However, Sougo had given a past version of her a blank Ride Watch that he infused with Ohma Zi-O's power, which activates during the calamity's height. Once Black Woz provides her with a Ziku-Driver, Tsukuyomi gains the power to become Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi (仮面ライダーツクヨミ, Kamen Raidā Tsukuyomi) to mortally wound Swartz before he kills her in retaliation. When Sougo defeats Swartz and sacrifices Ohma Zi-O's power to undo the Time Jackers' damage, Tsukuyomi is revived in the new timeline as Alpina Tsukuyomi (月読 有日菜, Tsukuyomi Arupina), one of Sougo's contemporary classmates.
In the sequel special Kamen Rider Zi-O Next Time: Geiz, Majesty, Tsukuyomi permanently regains her memories and Rider powers while helping Geiz in his fight against Another Diend.
For most of the series, Tsukuyomi possesses her own Faiz Phone X for self-defense purposes and to communicate with her friends through time. She also owns a Time Mazine, which she lends to Sougo in the hopes of assisting him with time travel. Following Sougo's battle with the monstrous Another Agito, Tsukuyomi regains her ability to stop time. After becoming Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi, she gains the ability to generate an energy sword from her hand and perform the Time Jack (タイムジャック, Taimu Jakku) finisher.

Woz's finisher in this form is the Ninpō: Time Binding Jutsu (忍法・時間縛りの術, Ninpō Jikan Shibari no Jutsu).
Futurering Quiz (フューチャーリングクイズ, Fyūchāringu Kuizu): A Kamen Rider Quiz-themed auxiliary form accessed from the Quiz (クイズ, Kuizu) MiRide Watch that grants worldwide knowledge and the ability to determine the answer to a riddle for their targets. As the original Kamen Rider Quiz attacks through riddles, Woz does so as well while assuming this form. However, this ability can be negated if the riddle's answer is debatable or if Woz does not know the answer. His finisher in this form is the Quiz Shock Break (クイズショックブレイク, Kuizu Shokku Bureiku).
Futurering Kikai (フューチャーリングキカイ, Fyūchāringu Kikai): A Kamen Rider Kikai-themed auxiliary form accessed from the Kikai (キカイ) MiRide Watch that grants the ability to turn nearby humans into manipulable Semi Humanoises (セミヒューマノイズ, Semi Hyūmanoizu). Woz's finisher in this form is the Full Metal Break (フルメタルブレイク, Furu Metaru Bureiku).
As they are the same person from different timelines, both versions of Woz are portrayed by Keisuke Watanabe (渡邊 圭祐, Watanabe Keisuke).
Black Woz
The primary timeline version of Woz, also known as Black Woz (黒ウォズ, Kuro Wozu), is a so-called "mysterious prophet" and member of the Quartzers who considers himself a devoted follower of Ohma Zi-O and possesses a book of prophecies called the Ohma Advent Calendar (逢魔降臨暦, Ōma Kōrin Reki), which details the history of his master's rise to power. He also takes on the role of narrator for the series and interacts with the viewers to recount Sougo's adventures. After giving Sougo his Rider powers and despite learning of his intention to become a benevolent lord instead of a tyrant, a surprised Black Woz remains loyal to him as the latter's only concern is assuring Sougo's destiny of becoming Ohma Zi-O regardless by providing his services and occasionally intervening to rescue the youth from harm. Woz's dedication to ensuring his ruler's history initially made him fickle towards Sougo's friends and the Time Jackers, helping either side whenever Woz believed Sougo is straying too far from the intended path.
After being attacked and wounded by Geiz Revive, Black Woz forms a temporary alliance with the Time Jacker Heure to steal White Woz's Rider powers so he can force Geiz to overuse his Revive form and kill him. However, Sougo's influence on him causes Black Woz to support the former's decision to change his future. Because of this, once Sougo and Geiz settle their differences, Black Woz makes peace with Geiz and Tsukuyomi and moves in with them and Sougo. Despite being caught off-guard when Sougo transforms into Ohma Zi-O to defeat Swartz before sacrificing his power to fix the timeline, Black Woz remains unaffected and continues to watch over Sougo in the new timeline.
After his encounter with Kamen Rider Ginga, Black Woz acquires the Ginga (ギンガ, Galaxy) MiRide Watch, which he can use to transform into his ultimate form; Kamen Rider Woz Ginga Finaly (仮面ライダーウォズギンガファイナリー, Kamen Raidā Ginga Fainarī). While transformed, he gains astrokinesis and the ability to perform the Cho Ginga Explosion (超ギンガエクスプロージョン, Chō Ginga Ekusupurōjon, Super Galaxy Explosion) finisher. He can also change the setting on the Ginga MiRide Watch to assume one of two alternate forms, which are as follows:
Kamen Rider Woz Ginga Wakusei (仮面ライダーウォズギンガワクセイ, Kamen Raidā Wozu Ginga Wakusei): A variant of Woz Ginga Finaly accessed from the Wakusei Mode (ワクセイモード, Wakusei Mōdo, Planet Mode) setting on the Ginga MiRide Watch that grants planetakinesis and the ability to perform the Sui-Kin-Chi-Ka-Moku-Do-Ten-Kai Explosion (水金地火木土天海エクスプロージョン, Sui Kin Chi Ka Moku Do Ten Kai Ekusupurōjon, Mercury-Venus-Earth-Mars-Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus-Neptune Explosion) finisher.
Kamen Rider Woz Ginga Taiyo (仮面ライダーウォズギンガタイヨウ, Kamen Raidā Wozu Ginga Taiyō): A variant of Woz Ginga Finaly accessed from the Taiyo Mode (タイヨウモード, Taiyō Mōdo, Sun Mode) setting on the Ginga MiRide Watch that grants heliokinesis and the ability to perform the Burning Sun Explosion (バーニングサンエクスプロージョン, Bāningu San Ekusupurōjon) finisher.
During the events of the stage show Kamen Rider Zi-O: Final Stage, Black Woz is temporarily turned into the villainous and overzealous Tsukuyomi supporter, Red Woz (赤ウォズ, Aka Wozu), before returning to his senses.
Throughout the series, Black Woz has a habit of declaring "rejoice" (祝え, iwae) whenever Sougo obtains a new Ride Watch and Rider Armor, to point where he becomes pleased when Sougo asks him to do so. While he usually does this for Sougo, Black Woz begrudgingly does so once for Geiz when the latter attains his Majesty form. Black Woz also demonstrates special skills such as deflecting Another Fourze's attack with one hand and using his scarf to teleport himself and others. Additionally, he can also travel through time without using a Time Mazine. Prior to obtaining Kamen Rider Woz's powers, Black Woz could use the Ohma Advent Calendar to trap his target and destroy SOUGO's time portals by ripping out the book's pages. In Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever, Black Woz is able to access Philip's Gaia Library to learn more about Imagin and give Sougo information about them.
White Woz
White Woz (白ウォズ, Shiro Wozu) is a version of Woz who hails from an alternate future that came into being after Sougo temporarily renounced his Rider powers and is fanatically devoted to Geiz, who by his time defeated Ohma Zi-O as Geiz Revive.Despite sharing a common goal with Geiz and Tsukuyomi, White Woz's apathetic and sadistic approach along with his desire to see his future come to pass puts them at odds. After getting MiRide Watches from three future Kamen Riders, he uses their combined power to create the Geiz Revive Ride Watch and presents it to Geiz.
Not long after however, the Time Riders learn that White Woz only needed Geiz to defeat Ohma Zi-O to ensure his own existence, regardless if Geiz survives or not, and has been helping Swartz the entire time. After being tricked into transferring his Rider powers to Black Woz and Geiz and Sougo making peace with each other, White Woz begins to fade away due to his timeline being erased. Despite this, he realizes he should not have supported Swartz and combines his residual Rider energy with the Zi-O II and Geiz Revive Ride Watches to create the Zi-O Trinity Ride Watch. Accepting his fate, White Woz warns Black Woz of Swartz's goals before fully fading away. Weeks later, as part of the final phase of his endgame, Swartz summons an Another World version of White Woz to distract Black Woz. However, the former learns the full extent of Swartz's plans and attempts to tell the Time Riders, but vanishes due to Another World's destruction before he could do so.
In the sequel special Kamen Rider Zi-O Next Time: Geiz, Majesty, a second Another World version of White Woz appears in the rewritten timeline to kill Geiz and steal Daiki Kaito's Rider powers to become Another Diend to manufacture disasters and pass himself as a savior. After Geiz Majesty defeats him, this White Woz's essence is absorbed into Black Woz while Kaito regains his powers.
While he lacks Black Woz's abilities, the original White Woz possesses a tablet book-like device that allows him to manipulate the flow of time, shift certain events' outcomes in his favor, and negate the Time Jackers' chronokinetic powers by simply writing or speaking whatever he wants to happen into it. Due to his home timeline being an alternate version of 2068, White Woz also possesses his own Time Mazine, which allows him to travel to alternate timelines.
As Another Diend, White Woz has the ability to manipulate an army of Kasshine, summon past Heisei era monsters via card-like constructs, and is capable of performing his own version of Diend's Dimension Shoot finisher.
Third Woz
The Third Woz (第三のウォズ, Daisan no Wozu) is the main antagonist of the Kamen Rider Zi-O tie-in novel. Sometime after the events of the V-Cinema Geiz Majesty, he creates a new timeline where Inner Sougo rises to the title of Oma Zi-O through the power of Another Watches. Wanting to ensure the events leading to the original Oma Zi-O's ascension comes to pass, Third Woz conspires with Inner Sougo to transform the latter's versions of Geiz and Tsukuyomi into each other's Another Rider counterparts to lure Black Woz and Sougo to their timeline. Third Woz later steals Black Woz's Rider powers to transform into Another Woz (アナザーウォズ, Anazā Wozu), only to be defeated by Zi-O II and cease to exist when the previous timeline is restored.
Like White Woz, Third Woz wields a tablet that can manipulate the flow of time to his favor.
Recurring characters
Junichirō Tokiwa
Junichirō Tokiwa (常磐 順一郎, Tokiwa Jun'ichirō) is Sougo's great uncle and owner of 9-to-5 (クジゴジ堂, Kujigojidō), a clock shop that also serves as his and Sougo's home. Even though his shop specializes in repairing clocks, he rarely has orders to fix them and usually repairs other old devices to make ends meet. In spite of this, he has demonstrated a form of intellect in repairing unique devices, such as Sougo's Ride Watches and Kamen Rider Den-O's DenLiner.
Junichirō Tokiwa is portrayed by Katsuhisa Namase (生瀬 勝久, Namase Katsuhisa).
Ohma Zi-O
Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O (仮面ライダーオーマジオウ, Kamen Raidā Ōma Jiō), known simply as Ohma Zi-O (オーマジオウ, Ōma Jiō) or "Lord" (魔王, Maō), is the dictator of Earth in the year 2068. Due to his immense power, Tsukuyomi and Geiz travel back in time to 2018 in the hopes of intercepting Ohma Zi-O's past self and prevent his rise to power. When Tsukasa Kadoya sends Sougo and Tsukuyomi to 2068, Ohma Zi-O has them brought before him so he can mock his past self's naiveté and overpower him, advising him to renounce being Zi-O if he refuses to accept his destiny of becoming him before sending him back to 2018. Along the way however, Sougo and his friends discover that Ohma Zi-O is from a possible future and that his existence is fixed after a future where he was defeated by Geiz Revive came into existence. Furthermore, Sougo changed Ohma's Day (オーマの日, Ōma no Hi), the day he was to become Ohma Zi-O, when he became Zi-O Trinity instead.
When Swartz initiates his endgame, Sougo returns to 2068 to confront Ohma Zi-O for a final battle, deducing the tyrant never intended to kill him. The future Sougo reveals that his power to destroy time and space is stronger than Swartz's before sending his younger self back with a blank Ride Watch. While Sougo becomes Ohma Zi-O in 2019, he chooses to sacrifice the power to undo Swartz's damage to the timeline. Impressed by his younger self's choice, Ohma Zi-O peacefully lets himself be erased from existence.
In an alternate timeline depicted in the film Kamen Rider Zi-O the Movie: Over Quartzer, Ohma Zi-O's existence is revealed to be the result of the Quartzers' influence on Sougo's timeline and orchestrated by Sougo's original future counterpart, who intended to erase the Kamen Riders' influence on the Heisei era. Once he became aware of the Quartzers' plot, Ohma Zi-O supports his younger self in defeating their alternate self by giving him his personal Ride Watch.
In the Rider Time web series Decade VS Zi-O and Zi-O VS Decade, an alternate version of Ohma Zi-O, referred to as True Sougo (真実のソウゴ, Shinjitsu no Sōgo), creates and destroys new worlds until his powers are diminished. In response, he instigates the King's Death Game to find a new host to inhabit and restore his full strength. After defeating Kamen Rider Decade's party of Kamen Riders, Ohma Zi-O merges six dimensions into the prime Sougo's universe, but is regressed into the form of an amnesiac young boy that Tsukuyomi takes care of. Upon regaining his memories, Ohma Zi-O defeats Decade, only to be distracted by Tsukuyomi and killed by Zi-O.
The future Sougo transforms into Ohma Zi-O via an upgraded version of the Ziku-Driver called the Ohma Zi-O Driver (オーマジオウドライバー, Ōma Jiō Doraibā). Like the Time Jackers, Ohma Zi-O has chronokinetic abilities, which are powerful enough to destroy an entire army of resistance fighters within seconds and summon a past Heisei Kamen Rider from their time period to his aid. While he also possesses Ride Watches, he is able to use their individual powers by pressing their activation buttons.
Ohma Zi-O is voiced by Rikiya Koyama (小山 力也, Koyama Rikiya) while his civilian form is portrayed by Seiji Takaiwa (高岩 成二, Takaiwa Seiji). In the Rider Time series, True Sougo's younger form is portrayed by Shunta Ito (伊藤 駿太, Itō Shunta).
Time Jackers
The Time Jackers (タイムジャッカー, Taimu Jakkā) are a group of time travelers brought together by Swartz, who gifted his subordinates with the ability to freeze time, that seek to prevent Ohma Zi-O's existence by replacing him with an Another Rider. While claiming this goal is just, they are either apathetic to the consequences of altering the timeline or unconcerned with spoiling future events.
Following the Time Jackers' defeat at the end of the series, Finis attempts to seek revenge during the events of the film Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation, only to be defeated like her fellow Time Jackers.
Swartz
Swartz (スウォルツ, Suworutsu) is the cool-headed and ruthless leader of the Time Jackers and Tsukuyomi's older brother. Preferring to take the direct approach, he sees friend and foe alike as pawns in his schemes. Originally from an alternate version of 2058, Swartz sought to protect his reality by destroying the multiverse and rule all of time and space. In his youth, he was irate over being passed over to succeed his parents, whose power he intended to use in his goals. When Tsukuyomi attempted to stop him, he stranded her in Ohma Zi-O's timeline with no memory of her past.
After growing older, Swartz commenced a long-term plot by forming the Time Jackers and influencing Sougo's life by installing his dream of becoming king; orchestrating the events that would lead to him becoming Zi-O and create the ideal conditions for fulfilling his ambition. Swartz also orchestrates Hiryū becoming Another Zi-O II to capture Tsukuyomi and take her powers along with those of Tsukasa Kadoya's before abandoning both the Time Jackers and Hiryū once they serve their purpose as he initiates a multiversal convergence. However, Swartz meets his end when Sougo becomes Ohma Zi-O and kills him before using his powers to undo the former's damage. In the new timeline, Swartz became Sougo's contemporary principal.
Swartz possesses teleportation, memory manipulation, and powerful chronokinetic abilities that allow him to freeze time. He can also travel to alternate timelines, something normal Time Mazines are incapable of doing, and bestow a weaker form of his chronokinetic powers unto others, which he can take back at his leisure. Swartz later acquires the ability to become the monstrous Another Decade (アナザーディケイド, Anazā Dikeido), gaining the ability to manipulate Dimensional Walls like Tsukasa and Daiki Kaito, he can use them to attack or bind enemies as well as spirit people into his personal pocket dimension, Another World (アナザーワールド, Anazā Wārudo), so he can summon alternate reality versions of past Dark Riders to take their place.
Swartz is portrayed by Kentarou Kanesaki (兼崎 健太郎, Kanesaki Kentarō) while Tenma Naruse (成瀬 天馬, Naruse Tenma) portrays him as a teenager.
Heure
Heure (ウール, Ūru) is the youngest member of the Time Jackers, whose childishness conceals his cruelty and arrogance as he manipulates his targets into forming Another Rider contracts by doing something for them to place them in his debt. Due to his infantile personality, he quickly becomes displeased when things do not go his way and acts in a more ruthless manner to ensure his success. After Swartz and Ora use him as a host for the parasitic Another Kikai, Heure becomes wary of his fellow Time Jackers as well as suspicious over his leader's true goals. This, combined with his growing curiosity over the truth of "Ohma's Day", cause him to become more willing to work with Black Woz. When Swartz reveals his true colors and takes away his powers, Heure escapes with Ora to seek out the Time Riders' protection, only to be killed by her so she could ensure her own protection. After Sougo sacrifices his power as Ohma Zi-O to undo the Time Jackers' damage, Heure is revived as a contemporary classmate of Sougo's in the new timeline.
Like the other Time Jackers, Swartz gifted Heure chronokinetic abilities, though the latter also demonstrated telekinetic powers. Additionally, Heure pilots a personalized Time Mazine that resembles Kamen Rider Ghost's Captain Ghost, which can also transform into a copy of the Rider's Iguana Ghostriker.
Heure is portrayed by Rihito Itagaki (板垣 李光人, Itagaki Rihito).
Ora
Ora (オーラ, Ōra) is a female member of the Time Jackers with a calm, gentle disposition who prefers to use persuasion to form Another Rider contracts by exploiting targets while they are in a state of emotional distress. While appearing outwardly gentle, her patience has its limits, especially when dealing with her fellow Time Jackers. After Swartz takes her powers away to enact his own plans, a disillusioned Ora joins Heure to seek out the Time Riders for protection until she learns she is being hunted by the Paradox Roidmude. Vengeful and frightened, she kills Heure and returns to Swartz in an attempt to kill him as well, only for Swartz to see through her plan and kill her instead. After Sougo reverses the Time Jackers' damage, Ora is revived as a contemporary classmate of his in the new timeline.
Like the other Time Jackers, Swartz gifted Ora with chronokinetic abilities. She also pilots a personalized Time Mazine that resembles Kamen Rider Kiva's Castle Doran. After losing her chronokinetic abilities, she uses dark energy capable of obliterating targets.
Ora is portrayed by Ayaka Konno (紺野 彩夏, Kon'no Ayaka).
Another Riders
The Another Riders (アナザーライダー, Anazā Raidā), also known as Kaijin Riders (怪人ライダー, Kaijin Raidā), are monsters created by the Time Jackers to serve as contenders for their version of Ohma Zi-O. In certain cases, the original history of a Kamen Rider can create Another Riders all on its own. Each Another Rider is created when a Time Jacker uses an Another Watch (アナザーウォッチ, Anazāwotchi) on a person, transforming them into a corrupted version of an established Kamen Rider. To defeat Another Riders, the Time Riders have to use a corresponding Ride Watch or one of their stronger forms. While the Time Jackers succeed in having their Another Riders replace most of the Heisei era Riders in history, Sougo uses Ohma Zi-O's powers to undo their damage.
Hiryū Kakogawa
Hiryū Kakogawa (加古川 飛流, Kakogawa Hiryū) is a young man capable of transforming into the Another Rider, Another Zi-O (アナザージオウ, Anazā Jiō). Like Sougo, he is a survivor of the bus accident caused by Swartz, who abducted them and the other children due to their potential to become Zi-O. As a result, Hiryū developed a misguided vendetta against Sougo. After his first defeat as Another Zi-O, Hiryū feels insulted by Sougo's attempts to empathize with him and became more arrogant and ruthless as he proceeds to acquire all 19 Heisei Another Watches to become Another Zi-O II (アナザージオウII, Anazā Jiō Tsū), only to be defeated by Sougo a second time. Following this, Swartz abandons Hiryū while Daiki Kaito steals his Another Watch.
During the events of the stage show, Kamen Rider Zi-O: Final Stage, Hiryū joins forces with the remaining Quartzers and gains the means to become the second Kamen Rider Barlckxs before becoming Another Ohma Zi-O (アナザーオーマジオウ, Anazā Ōma Jiō) after he obtains Ride Watches based on Kamen Riders 1, 2, V3, Riderman, X, Amazon, and Stronger. While he manages to overwhelm the Time Riders with his new power, he is defeated by the combined efforts of Zi-O Ohma Form and Ohma Zi-O.
As Another Zi-O, Hiryū possesses Zi-O II's clairvoyance and a pair of clock hand-like swords, which he can combine into a naginata to perform a variation of Zi-O II's King Edge of Time Slash. He can also use the Heisei Another Riders' Another Watches to assume their forms. After becoming Another Zi-O II, Hiryū gains Grand Zi-O's chronokinetic powers and the ability to summon Another Riders from across time. His Another Watch, which is docked in a black version of the Ziku-Driver instead of being absorbed into his body, is able to reconstitute itself until Kamen Riders Zi-O and Decade join forces to destroy it.
Hiryū Kakogawa is portrayed by Yu Sakuma (佐久間 悠, Sakuma Yū) while Taiga Komie (込江 大牙, Komie Taiga) portrays him as a child.

In response, Zi-O and Geiz travel back in time to 2017 to defeat Another Build's past iteration.
