Main characters

Houtaro Ichinose

Houtaro Ichinose (一ノ瀬 宝太郎, Ichinose Hōtarō) is a second-year freshman at Furasu High School (富良州高校, Furasu Kōkō). He becomes a student at Alchemist Academy after he was entrusted by Fuga Kudo with the GotcharDriver (ガッチャードライバー, Gatchādoraibā) belt and the remaining Chemies during their brief encounter with each other, which ultimately led the former to rediscover his childhood past connections with the Chemies.[1][2][3] Following the Dark Kings' return and Glion's resurrection, Houtaro's ideals in coexistence between humans and Chemies were challenged by his increasing rivalry with Supana and the public distrust against them. Eventually by the time Glion threatens to cover the entire planet with gold, Houtaro came to the conclusion of creating a second planet Earth for the Chemies to inhabit and eventually defeating him once and for all. Realizing that the general population are yet to accept the existence of Chemies, Houtaro and the entire Alchemist Academy decided to do recurring visits to the second Earth while working his way to achieve his dream of peaceful coexistence.[4]

Utilizing the Hopper1 and Steamliner Ride Chemy Cards (ライドケミーカード, Raido Kemī Kādo) in conjunction with the GotcharDriver, Houtaro can transform into Kamen Rider Gotchard Steamhopper (スチームホッパー, Suchīmuhoppā). While transformed, he gains the use of the Wild Mode (ワイルドモード, Wairudo Mōdo) ability to transform into a non-humanoid state based on his current form. He also wields the Gotcharge Gun (ガッチャージガン, Gatchāji Gan) and the bladed Gotchartornado (ガッチャートルネード, Gatchātorunēdo) bow. Certain optimal Ride Chemy Card combinations known as a Gotchanko Chemy (ガッチャンコケミー, Gatchanko Kemī) allow him to access a variety of forms using other combinations of cards:[1][5]

Additionally, Houtaro can combine the GotcharDriver with other equipment to achieve stronger versions of Gotchard:

Future Houtaro

Future Houtaro (未来の宝太郎, Mirai no Hōtarō) is the cynical counterpart of Houtaro Ichinose who briefly appeared in the series as his Rider form before his identity was revealed in the film Kamen Rider Gotchard: The Future Daybreak. After Glion successfully opened the Door of Darkness and lost his friends and right eye in the process, Houtaro fell into despair and his grief evolved his Ride Chemy Cards into Daybreak Chemy Cards (デイブレイクケミーカード, Deibureiku Kemī Kādo), with Gotchard himself becoming Kamen Rider Gotchard Daybreak (仮面ライダーガッチャードデイブレイク, Kamen Raidā Gatchādo Deibureiku).[29] Following the acquisition of his own Gotcharigniter, the Future Houtaro went into the past and diverges his timeline into an alternate future by invoking his younger self's Fire Gotchard transformation at an earlier point.[30] Once his mission ended, he returned to his timeline to continue his fight and rescuing survivors of Glion's regime.[21]

His actions in creating a diverged timeline however caught the interest of the alternate Glion into spreading his influence to the present day timeline and the Alchemys Union joining the Future Houtaro's fight. Having experienced his friends' deaths, the Future Houtaro try to dissuade them from joining him, but the encouragement from his present self and Rinne allows the Future Houtaro to regain hope and reestablish contact with his Chemies, in particular his timeline's Rinne. After defeating Kamen Rider Dorado and the Dark King, Gotchard Shining Daybreak travels through time to stop the monster from terrorizing the past, effectively creating the Alchemist of Dawn legend that would inspire the Alchemys Union.[29]

Similarly to his past self, the Future Houtaro utilizes the Daybreak Hopper1 and Daybreak Steamliner Daybreak Chemy Cards in conjunction with the GotcharDriver (Daybreak Ver.) (ガッチャードライバー (デイブレイクVer.), Gatchādoraibā (Deibureiku Vājon)) belt to transform into a color-inverted version of Kamen Rider Gotchard Steamhopper. While transformed, he gains the use of Wild Mode to transform into a non-humanoid state based on his current form. He also wields the Gotcharge Gun and Gotchartornado. Additionally, he can combine the GotcharDriver (Daybreak Ver.) and Gotcharigniter to transform into the caped Kamen Rider Fire Gotchard Daybreak (仮面ライダーファイヤーガッチャードデイブレイク, Kamen Raidā Faiyā Gatchādo Deibureiku).

During the events of The Future Daybreak, the Future Houtaro gains the use of the Level Number EX Shining Hopper1 (シャイニングホッパー1, Shainingu Hoppā Wan) and Shining Steamliner (シャイニングスチームライナー, Shainingu Suchīmurainā) Ride Chemy Cards to transform into his ultimate form; Kamen Rider Gotchard Shining Daybreak (仮面ライダーガッチャードシャイニングデイブレイク, Kamen Raidā Gatchādo Shainingu Deibureiku).[29]

Rinne Kudo

Rinne Kudo (九堂 りんね, Kudō Rin'ne) is Houtaro's classmate and a student at both Furasu High School and Alchemist Academy.[1][2] During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider the Winter Movie: Gotchard & Geats Strongest Chemy ★ Gotcha Great Operation, she reunites with her father Fuga in the dream world where he entrusts her with the AlchemisDriver (アルケミスドライバー, Arukemisudoraibā) belt and the High Alchemist Ring (ハイアルケミストリング, Hai Arukemisuto Ringu), granting her the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Majade (仮面ライダーマジェード, Kamen Raidā Majēdo).[28] However, following her first transformation, Rinne loses access to her Rider powers until she saves Atropos from the Cerberus Malgam.[30][22]

Utilizing the Unicon and The Sun Ride Chemy Cards in conjunction with the AlchemisDriver and High Alchemist Ring, Rinne can transform into Kamen Rider Majade Sununicorn (サンユニコーン, San'yunikōn). While transformed, she gains alchemy manipulation capabilities.[28] Similarly to Houtaro, she can also use other Gotchanko Chemy combinations from the Fantastic and Cosmic categories to access a variety of forms:

Following Atropos' sacrifice, Rinne acquires the Majesty Driver (マジェスティードライバー, Majesutī Doraibā) belt and the Promise Alchemist Ring (プロミスアルケミストリング, Puromisu Arukemisuto Ringu), which she can use in conjunction with the Twilight Unicon and Twilight The Sun Ride Chemy Cards to transform into her ultimate form; Kamen Rider Twilight Majade (仮面ライダートワイライトマジェード, Kamen Raidā Towairaito Majēdo). While transformed, she gains photo- and umbrakinesis.[31]

In the film Kamen Rider Gotchard: The Future Daybreak, Rinne's alternate self was one of the many casualties of Glion's regime, whereupon her death resulted with her spirit merging with Daybreak The Sun. However, as Houtaro became cynical and shutting his communication with his Chemies, Rinne's spirit was unable to reach him until their present selves encouraged him, allowing her spirit to reach the Future Houtaro and lending her support to Gotchard Daybreak.[29]

Rinne Kudo is portrayed by Reiyo Matsumoto (松本 麗世, Matsumoto Reiyo). As a child, Rinne is portrayed by Liliana Ōno (大野 りりあな, Ōno Ririana).

Supana Kurogane

Supana Kurogane (黒鋼 スパナ, Kurogane Supana) is an alchemist, a graduate of Alchemist Academy, and Houtaro's rival who initially viewed the Chemies as tools instead of living beings.[5] His parents, Renchi (レンチ) and Suzu (スズ), were alchemists who were killed by Glion 10 years prior to the events of the series.[32] After accepting his past and managing to avoid becoming an unwitting pawn of Glion's schemes, Supana creates his own Alchemist Ring (アルケミストリング, Arukemisuto Ringu) to honor his parents' sacrifice, though he tends to fight his opponents alone.[33] Realizing the horror of general population reacting to the Chemies' existence, Supana attempts to absorb them in a self-destructive charge against the Dark Kings, but was stopped by Houtaro before the plan can be carried out.[34] Losing the ValvaraDriver and realizing how far he had fallen, his renewed resolve to fight alongside the Alchemist Academy allows him to restore his belt into the ValvaraDriver Kurogane.[35]

Throughout the series, Supana has assumed the following forms:

When Glion finally makes his move and reveals himself as the Three Dark Sisters' master in the present, Minato goes undercover by joining his side while becoming the fourth Kamen Rider Dread, in order to save his current students from neither suffering similar fates nor becoming another one of Glion's pawns behind the scenes.[39][24] Once he finally overcomes his survivor guilt, Minato leaves Glion and returns to his students' side.[25]

Minato is portrayed by Rikuto Kumaki (熊木 陸斗, Kumaki Rikuto).

Three Dark Sisters

The Three Dark Sisters (冥黒の三姉妹, Meikoku no Sanshimai) are a trio of homunculus alchemists who work for Glion.[1][40] In the film Kamen Rider Gotchard: The Future Daybreak, their alternate selves were dismissed by Glion after he created the Dark Death Masks as enforcers to his regime, forcing Atropos and Clotho to defect to the Future Houtaro's side at some point after Lachesis' death.[29]

Atropos

Atropos (アトロポス, Atoroposu) is the oldest sister who resembles a child and is modeled after Rinne Kudo.[1][34] She later becomes the fifth Kamen Rider Dread.[41] Initially devoted to Glion due to the circumstances behind her creation, she was discarded by her creator after he achieved his goals, eventually sacrificing herself to protect Rinne from Gaelijah's attack. Despite her death, her spirit was able to intervene by assisting Twilight Majade and countering Gaelijah's prediction, resulting in the female Dark King's death.[31]

Atropos is portrayed by Itono Okita (沖田 絃乃, Okita Itono).

Clotho

Clotho (クロトー, Kurotō) is the middle sister with enhanced physical strength.[1] While devoted to Glion and the Dark Kings' cause, Clotho came into conflict with her personal interest after Lachesis defected to the Alchemist Academy and Atropos' slow downfall into insanity. Seeing her sisters died by the very superiors she served, Clotho goes into a suicidal charge against Kamen Rider Eld, but fails and dies by her creator's hands.[4]

Clotho initially fights with Malgam forms through captured Chemies, with Glion's brief assistance allows her to transform into enhanced golden Malgam.[36] She later becomes the third Kamen Rider Dread, initially sharing the DreaDriver with Lachesis until she gains full ownership after the latter's defection and Glion's brief demise.[3] After being empowered by Gigist, she gains the ability to transform into the armored Clotho Rebis (クロトーレビス, Kurotō Rebisu), with Gaelijah reverting her to normal after the transformation came at the cost of her sanity.[40][42]

Clotho is portrayed by Kanon Miyahara (宮原 華音, Miyahara Kanon).

Similarly to Supana, Lachesis utilizes the Repli Madwheel Replichemy Card in conjunction with a Valvarusher to transform into the second Valvarad.[45]

Lachesis is portrayed by Alisa Sakamaki (坂巻 有紗, Sakamaki Arisa).

DreaDriver

The DreaDriver (ドレッドライバー, Doreddoraibā) is a malevolent sentient belt which was created by the Three Dark Sisters along with dark copies of the Ride Chemy Cards called Replichemy Cards (レプリケミーカード, Repurikemī Kādo) to counteract the likes of Gotchard and Valvarad (warrior) by either possessing its host or having one of the sisters utilize it to transform into Kamen Rider Dread (仮面ライダードレッド, Kamen Raidā Doreddo).[14][37][3] However, normal humans who transform with this belt will have their life force drained.[19]

Using Kenichi Saruhara's research of Isaac AI, Glion modifies the DreaDriver to create Dreatrooper (ドレットルーパー, Dorettorūpā), an autonomous variant of Kamen Rider Dread that allows it to operate without a host.[46] When Glion converts the entire planet Earth into gold, Clotho uses the DreaDriver in a last ditch effort to take down her creator, only to lose her life in the process. Glion summons the Dreatrooper Type Army as reinforcements to his campaign, but all of them are converted into raw materials by Gotchard into a copy of Planet Earth for the Chemies to inhabit.

In the alternate timeline where Glion achieved world domination, he managed to produce the Dreatrooper en-masse, the Type Army serving as grunts while being led by the normal Dreatroopers and the Dark Death Masks to fight Daybreak and the other survivors. The Dreatrooper Army made their way to the present day timeline to expand Glion's rule, but they were destroyed by the combined efforts of the Alchemist Academy, Legend, Gavv and a brief intervention of Tsukasa Kadoya.[29]

A user of the DreaDriver utilizes the Repli Steamliner Replichemy Card in conjunction with the belt itself to transform into Kamen Rider Dread Type Zero (零式, Zeroshiki). While transformed, they can use other Replichemy Cards to grant themselves either an enhanced ability or the use of a Bloody (ブラッディー, Buraddī) weapon based on the corresponding card.[37] Amidst its users, the DreaDriver acquires unique Replichemy Cards that can combine with Repli Steamliner to achieve stronger forms:

Chemies/Malgams

Chemies (ケミー, Kemī) are 101 monsters that were accidentally created by alchemy, normally serving as familiars of Kamen Riders that are summoned from their respective Ride Chemy Cards. They were stolen away from the Alchemys Union by Fuga, who was forced to release them into the world after entrusting the Chemies' safety to Houtaro. Chemies who end up being exposed to malice-consumed humans are merged with that human to become a single corrupt humanoid monster called a Malgam (マルガム, Marugamu), with Gotchard extracting the Chemy from its host while purifying them.[1][2] However, a human host with goodwill can merge with a Chemy into a purified version of their Malgam form anytime, even when their eponymous Ride Chemy Card is used by a Kamen Rider.[8] If a Malgam merges with other Chemies, the host evolves their Malgam form into a hybrid Mixtus (ミクスタス, Mikusutasu) form that transforms the absorbed Chemy into a weapon-like state.[12] With the exception of X Wizard, Zukyumpire, and Nijigon, all Chemies are incapable of human speech.

Each Chemy/Malgam is based on one of 11 subspecies categories; Insect (インセクト, Insekuto), Job (ジョブ, Jobu), Vehicle (ビークル, Bīkuru), Animal (アニマル, Animaru), Artifact (アーティファクト, Ātifakuto), Plant (プラント, Puranto), Occult (オカルト, Okaruto), Ancient (エンシェント, Enshento), Cosmic (コズミック, Kozumikku), Fantastic (ファンタスティック, Fantasutikku), and Rainbow (レインボー, Reinbō). They are also ranked by Level Numbers (レベルナンバー, Reberu Nanbā), with Gotchard, Majade, and Wind using two cards whose numbers collectively equal 10 to assume their forms and Valvarad (Rider) using two cards of the same number to assume his forms. Level Number 10 Chemies are regarded as the most powerful of their respective subspecies. Additionally, there is the unique Legend Rider (レジェンドライダー, Rejendo Raidā) subspecies, which are based on past Kamen Riders:

Nijigon

Nijigon (ニジゴン) is a kaiju-themed Level Number EX Rainbow subspecies who originally was hidden by Fuga inside the GotcharDriver, having silently watched Houtaro fighting as Gotchard and even sometimes helping him in secret. It first appears encased in an egg, nicknamed "Tamagon" (タマゴン), finally hatching when Houtaro convinces it to fight by his side and see the world together.[26]

Utilizing its Rainbow Breath (レインボーブレス, Reinbō Buresu) ability, Nijigon can heal and transform other Chemies into an evolved Rainbow Chemy (レインボーケミー, Reinbō Kemī) state, which renders them immune to malice. Unlike the other Chemies, it has two Ride Chemy Cards; an Extra (エクストラ, Ekusutora) version based on itself and a Special (スペシャル, Supesharu) version based on its Rainbow Breath.

Nijigon is voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto (岡本 信彦, Okamoto Nobuhiko).

Kamedoon

Kamedoon (カメドーン, Kamedōn) is a turtle/tank-themed Level Number 0 uncategorized subspecies who was the 102nd Chemy created by Sabimaru and his older brother, Kenichi Tsuruhara (鶴原 鍵一, Tsuruhara Ken'ichi), a chief researcher of Kongo Laboratory (金剛ラボラトリー, Kongō Raboratorī). The Malgam form known as Kamedoon Malgam (カメドーンマルガム, Kamedōn Marugamu) was used by both the director of Kongo Laboratory named Mami Kongo (金剛 真実, Kongō Mami) and Kenichi, only to be defeated by Rainbow Gotchard.[54][46]

Kamedoon is voiced by Kotarō Kawada, who also portrays young Sabimaru. Mami Kongo and Kenichi Tsuruhara are portrayed by Hinako Saeki (佐伯 日菜子, Saeki Hinako) and Yoshihiro Nakayama (中山 義紘, Nakayama Yoshihiro) respectively. As a teenager, Kenichi is portrayed by Akito Nakamura (中村 朗仁, Nakamura Akito).

El Dragon

El Dragon (エルドラゴン, Eru Doragon) is a Dark Ether Chemy and copy of Nijigon created by Glion to replace Nijigon as the final piece of the Philosopher's Stone that allows him to control the power of the Dark Kings.[35]
