Geiz Myokoin

"I'm going to kill him."

- Geiz's declaration to kill Sougo Tokiwa in order to change the future.

Geiz Myoukouin (明光院 ゲイツ) is a warrior from the year 2068 who transforms into Kamen Rider Geiz (仮面ライダーゲイツ), the secondary rider of Kamen Rider Zi-O.

History
Geiz comes from 50 years in the future where he fought as a resistance fighter against the evil tyranny of the demonic king, Oma Zi-O. After Oma Zi-O kills many of the resistance fighters, He decides to travel back in time to kill Oma Zi-O before he can become the king destined to enslave the future, much to Tsukuyomi ire. Tsukuyomi later discreetly follow Geiz.

Geiz traveling to the past
Using his personal Time Mazine, Geiz manages to found the possible identity of Oma Zi-O, in the form of Sougo Tokiwa. Geiz spent no time to chase the young man. However, he was intervened by the timely arrival of Tsukuyomi who saved Sougo. Geiz then chases them to both Prehistoric & Edo era, although he lost track of them after Tsukuyomi Time Mazine accidentally ejects Sougo to World of Build in 2017.

Geiz later found Sougo once again, this time already transformed into Zi-O. After he berates Tsukuyomi for her failure in changing history, he proceeds to ask why did Sougo manage to transform into Zi-O. Sougo replied that it was probably his fate since he was born, in which Geiz somewhat reminded of Oma Zi-O declaration of his tyranny. Deems Sougo as Irredeemable, Geiz transforms into Kamen Rider Geiz Ghost Armor, addressing Sougo as Oma Zi-O before lunges at him.

Zi-O obtaining Build's Power
Geiz proceeds to summon four parka ghosts (Ore, Musashi, Edison, and Newton) to attack Zi-O. Geiz then attacks Zi-O relentlessly and proclaim that While Sougo had done nothing wrong in the present. For the sake of a brighter future, Geiz will kill him. Geiz then about to Kill Zi-O using Omega Time Burst, if not for Tsukuyomi intervention using her Time Mazine. After Tsukuyomi tells Zi-O to run away, Zi-O proceeds to summon his Ride Striker and flee from the scene. Geiz then summons his Ride Striker to chase Zi-O. However, Geiz lost Zi-O track after a lengthy bike chase. Geiz then cancels his transformation and angrily ask Tsukuyomi for her Motive in helping Zi-O. After Tsukuyomi replies that she didn't know either, Geiz asks Tsukuyomi to not interfere with his quest to kill Zi-O.

Geiz and Tsukuyomi later continue their search for Sougo when they notice Another Build appears once again, even though Zi-O had defeated him before. Another Build then absorbs an Athlete into a FullBottle, And Geiz deduces that Time Jackers also appeared in this era. Geiz decides to leave it be and focus on the mission. However, Tsukuyomi stops him as Another Build is about to absorb another Athlete. Left without another choice, Geiz proceeds to transform and battle the Another Rider, to no avail.

Just before Another Build deliver a finishing blow to both Geiz and Tsukuyomi, Zi-O appeared and counter the attack using Zikan GiLade and proceed to ask them if they are okay, much to both Geiz and Tsukuyomi shock. Tsukuyomi starts to doubt whether Sougo is really Oma Zi-O or not as Zi-O manage to defeat Another Build, Geiz also rendered speechless for Sougo sincere actions. However, Another Build somehow respawned once more, to the trio shock. As Zi-O deduce that only the real Kamen Rider Build could defeat Another Build permanently, he quickly goes to Nascita, while Geiz vents his frustration to Another Build, and manage to defeat him. Only for the Another Rider to respawn once more.

Geiz proceeds to defeat Another Build again, for the Another Rider to respawn again. Geiz transformation is then cancelled due of exhaustion. Just then, Sougo appeared while holding Build and Cross-Z Ridewatches. Sougo gives the Cross-Z Ridewatch to Geiz and tells him that they must go to 2017 and defeat Another Build permanently using their newly acquired Ridewatches. They then travel back to 2017 using their Time Mazines.

Sougo and Geiz manage to arrive at the very scene in 2017, only to be interrupted by Uhr of the Time Jackers. After Sougo and Uhr exchanging their arguments about Another Rider, Uhr left the scene. The two Riders then transform and join up with Build and Cross-Z to take down Another Build. However, the change of events in the timeline has caused Build's and Cross-Z's powers to disappear, seemingly to have transferred into the Cross-Z and Build Ridewatches. Woz later appeared and ask Zi-O that using the Build Ridewatch will make Zi-O able to defeat Another Build, but Sento memory as Rider will be gone. Zi-O steels his resolve and transformed into Zi-O BuildArmor. Woz then joyfully remarking this moment. Zi-O Build Armor now able to damage the monster, with Geiz subduing him with his Zikan Zax in Yumi Mode. Zi-O uses Vortex Time Break to finish the monster with Geiz utilizing the Zax's finisher equipped with the Cross-Z Ridewatch. As a result of their actions, Another Build does disappear for good, but Sento, now christened himself as Takumi Katsuragi completely forget about Sougo as the latter give two blank Ridewatches for Takumi and Ryuga safekeeping. Geiz demands to know what's with sudden anomalies in the timeline, but Sougo himself is confused about it as well, only exclaiming that Sento and Ryuga will choose to become Kamen Rider Build and Cross-Z in the future.

The next day, both Tsukuyomi and Geiz decide to rent Junichiro's spare room. Tsukuyomi explains that Sougo actions make them reaching an agreement to keep an eye on him. Geiz himself saying despite Sougo sincere actions, his vendetta towards him hasn't ceased.

Personality
Currently, not much known about Geiz, except the fact that he is one of the rebellion fighters against Oma Zi-O who lost the fight and he lost someone close to him that died fighting Oma Zi-O, which shaped his vengeful personality. He is incredibly stealthy, as shown when he was able to easily sneak up on Sougo using the Time Mazine, not being noticed until the last minute by Tsukuyomi. Geiz is also incredibly determined to kill Sougo and he is highly paranoid towards the latter, as he is the one believed to be Oma Zi-O's true identity in the future.

Although somewhat baffled with Sougo kind actions towards him and Tsukuyomi, Geiz discreetly declares that his vendetta isn't fading away. He is stubborn and often wants to resolve problems on his own, but has softened a bit to the idea of Zi-O helping him stop various Another Riders despite their tense relations. Still, this doesn't cease Geiz hostility towards Sougo.

Portrayal
Geiz Myoukouin is portrayed by Gaku Oshida (押田 岳). As Kamen Rider Geiz, his suit actor is Yuya Nawata (縄田 雄哉), whose previous suit acting role was that of Kamen Rider Build in the previous series' finale. Geiz is the first Secondary Rider since Zeronos not to have either Eitoku and/or Jun Watanabe as his suit actor.

Etymology
"Geiz" is a German word which means "stinginess" or "miserliness". However, according to Woz, Geiz actually means "King" (王) in their series as a counterpart to "Zi-O". It is a pun on English word "Gates" since in Japanese and Ancient Egyptian culture, and  both having "gate" etymologies: "a gate connects god and human" or "a gate connects humanity and future". The reason why using "Gates" instead of "Gate" is because of Toei staff's superstition. . It is later implied another reason for his name being "Gates" instead of "Gate" is due to the already existing use of the word Gate back in Kamen Rider Wizard.
