Wishing to follow in his father's footsteps despite being unable to see ghosts, Takeru receives a Ghost Eyecon on his 18th birthday, which allows him to see monstrous ghosts called Gamma before they kill him for other Eyecons. A mysterious hermit brings Takeru back to life as a ghost and grants him the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Ghost as the latter has 99 days to find 15 Eyecons based on famous historical figures to fully restore his life.
After seeing his childhood friend Makoto Fukami become the cold Kamen Rider Specter as a result of his sister Kanon's body being trapped in the Gamma World, Takeru sacrifices the opportunity to revive himself to save Kanon instead and gains the ability to enter people's memories following his first trip to the Gamma World. Along the way, Takeru discovers he disrespected Ryū for involving him in the latter's ghost hunting expeditions, but his father did so because of his potential to bring peace between the human and Gamma Worlds. Additionally, Takeru's Eyecon was supposed to contain Ryū's soul and, if he does not restore his original body within another 99 days, both Tenkūjis will disappear forever. While doing so, Takeru and his allies save the world from the Gammisers and he receives multiple wishes from the Great Eye in recognition of his good deeds. Using one to fully revive himself, Takeru returns to high school to finish his education.

Edith
is a magistrate of the Gamma World and Adonis' closest ally who proposed the idea of a machine capable of granting immortality by transferring their people's souls into Eyecons. While Adonis used the Great Eye's power to complete Edith's machine, the latter was shocked to discover that it was slowly killing their people instead. When Adonis launched an invasion on the human world to power the machine, Edith attempted to contact the Great Eye, but was stopped by the Gammisers, which he created to protect it. A decade prior to the series, Edith was defeated by and joined forces with Ryū Tenkūji and Daigo Fukami to stop the Gamma, developing Ghost Drivers and heroic Eyecons for future use.

To prevent a war between Gamma World and his own, Ryū was forced to involve Takeru after sensing his potential for bringing peace between the two worlds. After Saionji sent Makoto and Kanon Fukami to Gamma World, Ryū leads a failed expedition to save them. Five years later, Ryū arranged for Takeru to receive the Ore Eyecon, which the former hoped would contain his soul and allow Takeru to fight Gammas in a duplicate body. After being killed by Adel however, Ryū was forced to adjust his plans. In the present, the latter gives up his soul to power the Toucon Boost Eyecon and buy Takeru time to revive himself.

When their ruler Adonis fell into despair after his wife Alicia and firstborn son Argos, among others of their kind, were claimed by a plague, he sought to use the Great Eye's power to wish for a world without death in what would be called the , with his closest ally Edith overseeing it.

To compensate for this defect, Adonis' son Adel and Gamma scientist Igor suggested invading the human world, to which Adonis reluctantly agreed until he saw how his actions endangered the human world's inhabitants. This would lead to Adel overthrowing his father and being manipulated by the Gammisers for their own ends.
