Faust

is a mysterious terrorist organization that experiment on humans to create the Smash creatures. It was founded by Touto scientists Takumi Katsuragi and Gentoku Himuro. According to Gentoku, Faust's objectives are to achieve Takumi's goals of evolving humanity into the "ultimate lifeform". The organization was compromised by Evolto and Namba who sought to reassemble the Pandora Box and repeat the calamity that destroyed the ancient Martian civilization.

Gentoku Himuro

is the 35-year-old special advisor to his father, Prime Minister Taizan Himuro, and head of the Touto Institute. His personality was altered after the Skywall Disaster into a sadistic and paranoid power-hungry maniac, who performed questionable acts for Touto's safety after deeming his father's pacifism a liability. Gentoku orchestrated Takumi Katsuragi's expulsion from Touto Institute to cover for the Devil's Scientist while unknowingly being manipulated by Sōichi Isurugi. After taking his late friend's position as the prime minister's advisor, Gentoku took the mantle of Night Rogue and declared his leadership over Faust.

After his identity is exposed, he went into exile and sought refuge with Namba Industries, becoming using the Sclash Driver and Fullbottle.

Gentoku Himuro is portrayed by .

Evolto

is the true antagonist of the series and leader of both the Blood Tribe and Faust. A genocidal sociopath, prior to the series, Evolto has taken the Pandora Box away and escaped from his brother, Killbus who was using Pandora Box to destroy his home planet. After the destruction of his planet, he used the power of the Pandora Box to destroy planets to absorb their energies as a means of gaining power and travelling. Until he destroyed the Martian civilization, he was rendered incorporeal and lost his true physical form before Vernage sealed him alongside his damaged Evol-Trigger within the Pandora Box.

When a Mars rover arrived for observation, Evolto used it to send a piece of himself to Earth to acquire a host to restore himself. But it backfired when the fragment's attempt of possessing Namba Industries security guard Yuri Banjo resulted in it being assimilated into her unborn child Ryuga. 13 years later, Evolto possessed the astronaut Sōichi Isurugi when he retrieved the Pandora Box from Mars and attempted to destroy Earth, only for Vernage's intervention to result in the Skywall Incident to scatter the Pandora Box across Japan. This forces Evolto to execute a decade-long plan of manipulating various individuals and events, such as the foundation of Faust, positioning himself within Namba Heavy Industries and grooming Ryuga as his next vessel. Evolto also used Sōichi's connections to force Shinobu and his son into working for him, tricking a young Misora to purify Fullbottles, and framed Ryūga for Tarō's death while an unconscious Katsuragi was spirited away with his memory and face altered. With Katsuragi's new identity as "Sento Kiryu", Evolto further manipulated him into perfecting the Build System and created other Rider Systems that Katsuragi purposely scrapped. In the hopes of hiding his presence, he made his original voice the default setting of Blood Stalk's system during transformation.

After all Fullbottles were purified, Evolto exposed his treachery to the crews of Nascita and his plans to use the Pandora Box to destroy Earth's civilizations, exploiting Namba as they engineered a series of schemes to take over Japan with only Touto and its Kamen Riders as their opposition. After regaining the Evol-Driver, Evolto abandoned his host to become as he transferred himself to Ryūga's body to regain his full power and then into Sento to use his intelligence to repair the Evol-Trigger. Once the Evol-Trigger was repaired, Evolto left Sento's body and became a corporeal shapeshifter, assuming Sōichi's appearance. Evolto then proceeded to kill Namba who refused to accept being a puppet ruler while winning the maddened Utsumi to his cause. Evolto decided to take over Earth instead of destroying it after finding amusement in Namba's final moments and Utsumi's descent into insanity. Initially limited to feeling either delight or irritation, Evolto developed human emotions as a result of his Hazard Level increasing. Evolto also assumed Midō's identity to place the Blood Tribe as governors to execute Build Annihilation Plan, but a mutiny by Inō forced him into an alliance with his own adversaries.

When later defeated by the four Kamen Riders using a coordinated attack, Evolto imparts a fragment of himself within Utsumi to reconstitute himself. He then kills Shinobu while reclaiming his Evol-Driver and regaining his full strength, before splitting off a part of himself to possess Kazumi to steal back the CD Lost Fullbottle for the . He then absorbs the panel to assume his true monstrous form, but was forced back to his Rider Form by the four Kamen Riders and loses a Lost Fullbottle as well, though he escapes. Combined with his inability to emotionally compose himself, Evolto became very disappointed by the defeat and falls back to his original plan of destroying all life on Earth. As the final battle between Evolto and the Riders began, he succeeds in causing Kazumi's death and kills Utsumi after the latter reveals his true allegiance. Evolto becomes omnipotent but Gentoku wounds him enough for Ryūga to sacrifice himself to trap Evolto in the vortex of a wormhole created by the complete Pandora Box.

Evolto attempts to cheat death by absorbing Ryuga but Sento saves his friend, with Evolto seemingly erased as a side-effect of Pandora Box merging their universe with the prime Kamen Rider universe. However, Evolto reconstitutes himself through a fragment of himself that slipped into Ryuga. When Killbus reappears again in the new world and threatens to destroy the entire universe, Evolto gracefully joins forces with Ryūga to defeat Killbus before leaving Earth to regain his full strength and body.

A cruel, fierce, and ruthless character, Evolto committed several heinous acts using Sōichi's body as a vessel, killing without hesitation and on one occasion turned a child into a Smash, with his plots and actions resulting in several deaths. Evolto is a very patient manipulator, having spent years establishing his plans while winning allies or placing enemies in situations that play to his advantage, but can be taken off guard by unexpected occurrences where he was forced to improvise. Due to the successful nature of his plots in the first half of the series, Evolto becomes arrogant and overconfident, but his reliance on luck backfired several times. It also extends to his tendency of toying with his opponents as he fails to expect a stronger counterattack, which proves costly when the Riders were able to force him out of his true form just moments after he had regained it. Another flaw Evolto suffered was his inability to handle human emotions as the result of having used multiple host bodies and his exposure to Build, making him prone to blind rage and later expressing fear when sucked into the wormhole and facing his impending doom. In the new world, while still resentful toward the Kamen Riders and humanity, Evolto admits to having developed a new-found respect for them as he mocked Killbus for underestimating humans right before the latter is finished off by Cross-Z Evol.

As Kamen Rider Evol, Evolto uses the belt and , from which the Build System was reversed engineered. As a Rider, he possesses high-speed movements on par with any previous Kamen Riders, matched only by Build Genius Form. Each of his forms are treated as an evolution of his :
* is the primary form of Evol, a.k.a. .
*, a.k.a. .
*, a.k.a. .
* is Kamen Rider Evol's true form, a.k.a. .

Evolto is voiced by . While possessing Sōichi Isurugi and later assuming his likeness, he is played by Yasuyuki Maekawa.

Faust agents

Masahiro Nabeshima

is a prison guard who frames Ryuga Banjo for the death of Touto Institute researcher Takumi Katsuragi, then delivers Ryūga to Faust for experimentation. After luring Sento and Ryuga to Seito, he was converted into Mirage Smash as a "reward" and later into Square Smash as part of Blood Stalk's experiment. Although rescued by Build and Ryuga, the experiments erased almost all of his memories. Sometime later, he regained his memories and revealed information about Faust to Sento, including Blood Stalk's identity. He and his family later are captured by Namba and used to force Sawa to betray her friends.

Shingo Kuwata is portrayed by .

Guardians

The are enforcement androids mass-produced by Namba Industries as peacekeepers of each country, though it is not initially known that they are supporting governments outside Touto. They also act as Faust sleeper agents awaiting activation by Blood Stalk.

They are armed with the and ride motorcycles called . A large number of them can combine together to form a single gigantic robot equipped with multiple guns. Under Faust's servitude, the reprogrammed Guardians can act as suicide bombers.

Smash

The are monsters formed by humans injected with the liquefied as part of Faust's experiments. The experimental subject loses almost all of their memories. To revert a Smash back to a normal human, the Kamen Riders must defeat them and extract their essence into an empty Fullbottle. Faust agents are given their own Fullbottles to transform into their Smash forms, which are equipped with a self-destruct function. Silver-colored Smash are stronger versions, achieved through exposure to Nebula Gas of higher Hazard Levels. The experiment's goal was to find a perfect candidate for the Build Driver, with the Smash transformations considered failures. Each victim is ranked by their tolerance of Nebula Gas called .

Clone Smash

The , unlike regular Smash, are created from pure Nebula Gas, and attack until destroyed. Being enhanced versions of the Press, Stretch, Strong and Flying Smash Hazard, the Clone Smash are stronger and more durable due to their inability to feel pain. The Clone Smash are later used as materials to power a Lost Fullbottle to enable its user's transformation into a Lost Smash.

Lost Smash

are Smash breeds created by Evolto and Katsuragi as the final Smash evolution. The experiment includes a human victim being heavily dosed with Nebula Gas and transformed into the Lost Smash by absorbing a pair of nearby Clone Smash. Aside from heightened aggression and being easy to manipulate, they are also bound to die should they be defeated. The Genius Fullbottle of Kamen Rider Build has the ability to save these victims and remove traces of Nebula Gas.

Namba Heavy Industries

is a company established by Jūzaburō Namba which provides financial support to Faust. Because of its pervasive influence, all three countries attempted to distance themselves from Namba, although the company has agents placed within the governments' infrastructures.

Jūzaburō Namba

is the corrupt and war-mongering chairman of Namba. He initially collaborates with Faust and Evolto to acquire the Build system for military applications, but has a secret agenda to use the Pandora Box's energy to create weapons of mass destruction. He also brainwashed children to act as his agents, including Sawa Takigawa. A power-hungry man with a god complex, he will do anything to attain his goals. However, he is not completely cruel as he was shown to be close to Nariaki Utsumi in flashbacks.

His ultimate goal is to use the power of the Pandora Box to reform Japan, and eventually the entire world, under his rule and in his image. However, Evolto exploited him for its own agenda. Namba then requests aid from the Kamen Riders against Evolto, but they fail and Namba is killed by Evolto while begging for his life.

In the merged universe at the end of the series, an alternate Namba owns a metalworking factory known as , rather than a huge weapons manufacturer.

Jūzaburō Namba is portrayed by , while Norimasa Fuke portrays Namba's disguise as Masakuni Midō.

Namba Children

The are scientists, soldiers and spies who were brainwashed by Jūzaburō Namba from an early age. They are positioned as sleeper agents within Touto, Hokuto and Seito to inform for Namba while acquiring whatever Namba needs.

Nariaki Utsumi

is the 28-year-old secretary of Himuro who was formally a Touto Institute scientist. Despite his commitment to Faust, Gentoku and Namba Heavy Industries, Utsumi expresses regret over his life choices, even commenting to Sento about their similar predicaments. To conceal Faust's activities, Utsumi became a scapegoat by masquerading as Night Rogue. His attempted suicide is stopped by Sento, but Utsumi is gravely injured and converted into a cyborg by Evolto. Utsumi then returned to Namba as his spokesperson and developed the Rider Systems for Hokuto and Seito, gathering data on the Hazard Trigger while perfecting the Kaiser System. Although he seemed to become more open-minded, Utsumi was actually a callous sadist and completely loyal to Namba.

After Evolto turns on Namba and killed him, Utsumi faked losing his sanity and was recruited as Evolto's enforcer, Kamen Rider Mad Rogue, briefly serving as a host to a fragment of the alien's body. But as Evolto neared his end goal, Utsumi reveals his deception and allies himself with Gentoku to avenge Namba while destroying Evolto's replicas of the Washio Brothers. Though his cybernetics burn out as Evolto defeats him, Utsumi sacrifices himself to shield Gentoku and Sawa from the alien's attack.

After the worlds are merged at the end of the series, an alternate Utsumi is shown working in Namba's metalwork factory. In ''Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z'', when Killbus restored the Pandora Box, Utsumi's lack of Nebula Gas administration prevented him from regaining the memories of his alternate self. But despite that, in ''Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease'' he recovers the memories of his alternate self along with his powers of Kamen Rider through the injection of Nebula Gas, assisting the other Riders in their battle against Down Fall.

Utsumi twice became Night Rogue as a decoy. His modification on Night Rogue grants him the ability to analyze his opponent through his visor. As the creator of the perfected Kaiser System, Utsumi is able to transform into Hell Bros using the Nebula Steam Gun. As Hell Bros, his main weapons are the Nebula Steam Gun and the Steam Blade.

With the Evol-Driver, Utsumi can become by using the and Fullbottles. Compared to the Build Driver, the Evol-Driver's scrambles both elements of Fullbottles into a symmetrical form and his is specially tuned for human use. As Utsumi was planning to betray Evolto from the beginning, his Evol-Driver was modified to imitate Evolto's Phase evolution but the full power was too much for his cybernetics to handle. In a similar vein to Evolto, Mad Rogue also possesses a Rider Evol-Bottle, allowing him to manifest the power of a single Fullbottle.

Masuzawa

is a spy who works as secretary to the Touto prime minister. When he is exposed by Sento, he kills himself using a Fullbottle to avoid capture. He is responsible for slipping a listening device into the Dragon Fullbottle to spy on Sento.

Masuzawa is portrayed by .

Washio Brothers

The are a pair of siblings from Seito who serve alongside Gentoku as Seito's main troopers. The indoctrination and training they received transform them into sadistic soldiers who use deception and dirty tricks to accomplish their tasks. They transform using the Kaiser System developed by Kaisei Mogami and Nariaki Utsumi, with a shared . Because of their limited supply in weaponry, the Nebula Steam Gun's Rifle Mode (combined with the Steam Blade) can only be held by one of them while the other engages in hand-to-hand combat.

After Evolto declared war against Namba Heavy Industries, the Washio Brothers form an uneasy alliance with the Riders before losing their lives. Evolto created his own copy of the Washio Brothers' Kaiser forms as guardians at the Pandora Tower. Utsumi revealed that he had sabotaged the Kaiser Systems and programmed both Same and Bike Fullbottles as countermeasures, used by Rogue and Mad Rogue to destroy the copies.

*: The older brother who uses the to transform into , a turquoise-colored version of Kaiser. He is the dominant user of Nebula Steam Gun. He can use his Gear Remocon with Rai's Gear Engine to transform into , an upgraded version of Bi-Kaiser. Despite being the more level-headed of the two, he occasionally shows annoyance and fury. Fū sacrificed himself to shield Cross-Z from a deathblow. Fū Washio is portrayed by . As a child, Fū is portrayed by .
*: Fū's younger brother who uses the to transform into , a white-colored version of Kaiser Reverse. As Remocon is the primary user of Nebula Steam Gun, Engine uses the Steam Blade as his main weapon.

During an alliance with the Riders against Evolto, Rai was the first to be killed and was caught in their former companion's black hole, giving his Gear Engine to Fū before his death. Rai Washio is portrayed by . As a child, Rai is portrayed by .

Hard Guardians

The are enhanced versions of the Guardians which Namba Heavy Industries mass-produced following Seito's war declaration on Touto. When Namba Heavy was disbanded, the remaining units were under control of Evolto and served as the front line of Pandora Tower's defense.

The Hard Guardians are equipped with a combat AI unit, right arm-mounted gatling-guns, left arm-mounted clawed gauntlets, and shoulder-mounted missile pods. An improved drive module was placed on each joint to provide enhanced mobility. Their equipment can be replaced depending on the combat situation and can fight on equal terms against Rider Systems users.

Katsuragi family

Takumi Katsuragi

is 26 years old and the past identity of Sento Kiryu, infamously known among his peers as . During the Sky Disaster, unaware of the full truth at the time, Takumi promised his father Shinobu that he would stop the Blood Race from destroying the Earth and restarted where he subjected himself to Nebula Gas to become Kamen Rider Build, only to be banned for conducting unethical human experimentations with the Nebula Gas to evolve humanity.

During this period, Takumi assisted his former Touto colleague Kaisei Mogami in building the Enigma system to travel to another reality. While testing the performance of Kamen Rider Build in said world, he twice intervened in the confrontation between humans and Bugster. Having accidentally killed Kamen Rider Genm prior, Build went on to extract Ex-Aid's samples into a single Fullbottle before foiling Mogami's intent to cause a convergence between the two realities and stopped him.

Sometime after developing both Rider and Transteam Systems, Takumi learned that Faust had been compromised by Evolto. He halted the development of the Sclash Driver system and attempted to kill Evolto but was outsmarted. His memories and appearance were changed to Sento, and he was manipulated into completing the Rider System.

Takumi regained his memories when Evolto regained his perfect form, and becomes Build again but refuses to work with the others. When the Genius Fullbottle refused to cooperate, he was visited by Sento's consciousness and allowed this alter-ego to access Genius Form for the first time. From that point onward, Takumi served as a spiritual adviser to Sento despite his sense of pessimism.

Following the worlds' convergence, as revealed in ''Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease'', Takumi exists as a separate being from Sento in their new universe and works despite being plagued by unpleasant memories of the old world. Alongside Sento, he creates a special serum that enables the Rider System users to recover the ability to transform and to be immune to the Phantom Crushers' special ability. After Downfall is defeated, Takumi returns to the .

As the true creator of Build's Rider System, Takumi can use the basic Best Match forms. As he was absent while Sento further developed Build, Takumi had to retool it to keep up with its performance.

Takumi Katsuragi is portrayed by , whereas his cameo appearances as Build in ''Kamen Rider Ex-Aid'' were voiced by Atsuhiro Inukai, Sento's actor.

Shinobu Katsuragi

is the father of Takumi Katsuragi and a member of the Kiwami Project which saw Sōichi Isurugi come into contact with the Pandora Box. Shinobu conducted illegal research on an infant Ryuga. Later, Shinobu led the conference of the Pandora Box's discovery when Evolto caused the Skywall Disaster, and his reputation was ruined as he was used as a scapegoat. Shinobu faked his suicide soon after cryptically informing Takumi that Ryuga is essential to stop Evolto and his kin, enlisting Reika Kine's aid in smuggling himself out of Touto.

Shinobu secretly aided Evolto for ten years by using his research in an attempt to repair the Evol-Driver before Takumi found and hid it. Shinobu also developed a man-made variant of Fullbottles called , also referred to as for short, which allow the user to transform into a Lost Smash with side-effects of heightened aggression and suggestibility. Shinobu resurfaces while Sento and his allies are searching for the Lost Fullbottles, revealing his alliance with Evolto while alienating Sento. However, Shinobu's plan was to eliminate the alien, pretending to be Evolto's ally while creating a specialized Best Match combination that could defeat the alien. He reveals his intentions to Sento when he thought Evolto had been defeated, but Evolto recovered and fatally wounds Shinobu. Shinobu lives long enough to give Sento his data to finalize the Cross-Z Build Form and apologize for hurting him. He comes back to life and like his son, he works as a scientist in the Japan Institute of Advanced Matter Physics in the new world. In ''Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease'' he created a copy of the Build Driver, which was owned by the Japanese government before being stolen by Downfall. After Downfall is defeated, he apologizes to Takumi for using him in the old world.

As the founder of Rider System, Shinobu possesses his own copy of the Build Driver and a set of Fullbottles to transform into another Kamen Rider Build. While having access to Best Match forms, Shinobu is capable of outmaneuvering the strongest of his opponents in one-on-one fights though he has difficulty fighting multiple opponents. He can also use another Fullbottle's power without transitioning, such as the use of Phoenix Fullbottle as an escape while still in Rabbit Tank form.

Kyōka Katsuragi

is Takumi's mother and Shinobu's wife who was abducted from Hokuto and transformed by Faust into the first . She was purified by Build, with the extracted element purified to create the Lock Fullbottle, before she entrusted the flash drive that contains the information of the Project Build to Sento.

Prime ministers

Taizan Himuro

is the 67-year-old father of Gentoku and the prime minister of , a pacifist state with only enough military strength for self-defense. Despite the rivalries, Taizan wishes for Japan to reunite. Due to his poor health, he sent his son Gentoku to the unveiling of the Pandora Box, and retained his sanity as the only leader not affected by its radiation. Taizan suffered a heart attack during Faust's raid on Touto facility, and entrusted Gentoku as acting prime minister, unaware that Gentoku is high-ranking Faust-member Night Rogue. The Touto government was then compromised until Sento and Ryuga defeated Night Rogue, exposing his identity to Taizan who then orders his son to be taken into custody. Sōichi later poisoned Taizan which once again gives Gentoku emergency power to rule Touto. Taizan eventually recovered through Misora's power and exiled Gentoku while looking for a way to end the war with the least bloodshed. Taizan believes there is still good in Gentoku and vows to return his son.

As Namba and Stalk enact their plan to bring humanity into chaos, Taizan is kidnapped by Gentoku so Stalk can force Sento into reviving the original Project Build. Gentoku was already planning to save his father, working with the Kamen Riders against Evolto, but the plan backfires and Evolto transforms into Kamen Rider Evol. Taizan becomes the first victim of Evolto, sacrificing his life to save Gentoku from the alien. This act allows Gentoku to fully revert to his true self.

Taizan Himuro is portrayed by .

Yoshiko Tajimi

is the 53-year-old prime minister of , a social welfare state which puts the needs of its people above all else. The Skywall Disaster rendered most of the farmland infertile with the resulting economic collapse forcing many citizens to take their children out of school. Tajimi's personality was affected by radiation from the Pandora Box, and she secretly directed government funds from social welfare to the military. The machinations of Sōichi, Namba and Gentoku cause war between the other two countries to take the Pandora Box by force, and she declares war on Touto. Her ruthless behavior during the invasion disgusts Kazumi as he threatens her to stop targeting innocent civilians.

During Touto's fight against Hokuto, Tajimi acts on Sōichi's advice to station her entire military on Touto's border to invade if Grease was defeated. But Tajimi realized she had been manipulated into leaving her nation vulnerable to Seito, which invade and take her into custody. She is later brainwashed by Evolto, transforming her into the before being defeated and freed by Kamen Rider Build's Genius Form. This purified Tajimi's mind leaving her horrified and remorseful over everything she had done while being the only surviving prime minister.

Yoshiko Tajimi is portrayed by .

Masakuni Midō

is the 61-year-old prime minister of , which seeks economic recovery through technical advancement, sending its young adults across the world to gather technical knowledge. Midō expressed an interest in Tajimi's offer for alliance, but stood by while Hokuto and Touto weakened each other in warfare. When Hokuto lost to Touto, Midō sends Seito's military to invade Hokuto, taking over the country and capturing Tajimi. However, Midō is also a nervous man as shown by his reaction during the Touto-Seito proximity match.

After losing the fight against Touto, Midō keeps his agreement with Touto while falling out with Namba, resulting in his death by Evolto. The alien then had Namba assume Midō's identity to use the country for Namba Heavy Industries' operations and his future plots. Evolto later poses as Midō during his endgame plan and places his kinsmen into governor positions.

Masakuni Midō is portrayed by .

Vernage

is the former queen of Mars who survived the destruction of her civilization at the cost of her physical form. She managed to seal Evolto along with his Evol-Trigger into the Pandora Box, while separating his Evol-Driver to prevent him from using it inside the box to free himself. When the artefacts were returned to Earth, her spirit was preserved in a bracelet which latched onto a young Misora.
