Kamen Rider W

Kamen Rider W is the titular duo of Shotaro Hidari and Philip, who can fuse with each other and transform via the belts and their own set of purified USB memory-like devices. Their Double Drivers are linked, such that Philip's consciousness is transferred into Shotaro's body along with the former's Gaia Memory.

Vowing to ensure that no one ever feels sad, Shotaro became a protégé of Fuuto's private investigator Sokichi Narumi after admiring his work as a child. Unlike his mentor, Shotaro was incapable of making tough decisions most of the time due to his kindhearted nature, which is the main reason why many consider him "half-boiled". Following Sokichi's death and meeting Philip during the incident, Shotaro promises to continue in his mentor's stead while becoming a man worthy of wearing Sokichi's white fedora. As such, Shotaro works to stop the Dopant crime wave in Fuuto by providing his body to Kamen Rider W, taking pride in the role and being called a "Kamen Rider" by the citizens. While his body was not meant to handle Gaia Memories as he was never intended to be partnered with Philip, Shotaro adapted to the situation as he eventually becomes worthy of being W and wearing Sokichi's fedora. As W, Shotaro possesses Gaia Memories with gold tips called , which form the left half of W's body and determine the fighting style in conjunction with Philip's Soul Memories.

While he is later extracted by Shotaro, this event causes Philip's body to destabilize to the point where he risks breaking up into data and being absorbed by the Earth if he transforms into W again and cancels the transformation. Saving this final transformation to save Wakana and fight Jun Kazu, Philip has Shotaro promise to continue fighting for Fuuto after he is gone and leaves the Lost Driver to Shotaro as a parting gift. However, after Wakana learns Philip sacrificed his own physical existence to save her, she sacrifices herself in turn to bring back the Xtreme Memory and reconstruct Philip's physical body. Before returning, Philip shares one last moment with his family, who tell him that they will be watching over him. Upon revealing himself a year later, Philip resumes protecting Fuuto with Shotaro.

With the exception of Raito and Fumine, each member of the Sonozaki Family owns a special Gaia Memory called a , which allows them to assume Dopant forms in conjunction with a prototype belt, which negates the corrupting effects of usual Dopant Gaia Memories at the cost of reduced power. While Ryubee's plan almost succeeds, it results in the family estate burning to the ground, marking the end of both its patriarch and the Museum. In the series finale, Wakana sacrifices herself to revive Raito while the rest of the Sonozaki family become part of the Earth to watch over him, tasking him with the family duty of protecting Fuuto and changing the world for the benefit of mankind.

He sports a commanding presence and can adequately terrify many even without the use of his Terror Memory, which is the main reason why the police leave him alone despite having their suspicions regarding his activities. Due to his obsession with Fuuto and the Museum's machinations, Ryubee refuses to let anyone, including his family nor the deaths of Gaia Memory users, get in the way of his goals. During his time as an archaeologist, Ryubee found fossil deposits and relics underneath the land his estate would later be built over, bought the grounds, and added the artifacts to the Fuuto Museum's collection. He also eventually discovered the planet's consciousness, later dubbed the , and brought his family to see it. However, his son Raito died falling into it and was resurrected by the planet's powers. Following this, Ryubee began making preparations for his Gaia Impact to ensure humanity's continued survival by fusing them with the planet itself like Raito had been.

Ryubee strictly raised Saeko to believe that their family is superior to all others and that they are destined to rule the world. This loveless upbringing caused her to grow up secretly hating her father, often taking the resulting rage out on her younger sister Wakana, and serves as fuel for her desire to take over the Museum to prove herself as its ideal successor. Saeko also has a tendency to kill her boyfriends if they do not live up to her expectations. When she spares Kirihiko due to his capabilities, she marries him and lets him live until he threatens the Museum's livelihood, having never truly loved him in the first place. Following this, Saeko begins to visit Shinkuro Isaka to improve her Dopant form and focus on her plans for the Museum, growing to care for him in the process. When her coup against Ryubee fails and Isaka is killed, Saeko goes on the run, only to be hunted down by the Smilodon Dopant, who takes her Taboo Memory and leaves her for dead.
