Ryoji Hase

Ryoji Hase (初瀬 亮二) is the leader of Team Raid Wild and Kamen Rider Kurokage (仮面ライダー黒影 [クロカゲ]). He uses the Matsubokkuri Lockseed.

Character History
Ryoji was first seen dueling against Team Baron, however he lost as Kaito summons 3 Inves to fight against Ryoji's sole Inves.

He then tries to win against Team Gaim by using his previous losing tactic in using two Inves, a bet from Team Invitto's Leader Hideyasu Jonouchi, but again he lost to Kota as Armored Rider Gaim in Orange Arms.

Sometime later, Kaito forms an alliance with Teams Raid Wild and Invitto, though Ryoji willingly refused to ally with Team Baron. However Hideyasu agrees to ally with Kaito, thus gaining the Matsubokkuri Lockseed from him to win against Team Gaim.

Sometime later, after Hideyasu loses to Armored Rider Ryugen, he finally realizes what Ryoji said before allying with Baron foolishly, and tells him that they will be Baron's slaves. Refusing to let that happen, they desired to have a chance to be on the same level as Kaito, and thus gaining Sid's attention as they received two Sengoku Drivers from him. After Baron's Inves are defeated, he and Hideyasu appear as they transform into Armored Rider Gridon and Kurokage respectively, which surprises Team Gaim.

After they transform, they easily beat up Baron, but Team Gaim's Armored Riders finish them off, also gaining their Lockseeds. Sometime later, Hideyasu and Ryoji buy replacement Lockseeds as Hideyasu notices one member of Red Hot got a Sengoku Driver and a Lockseed from Sid. Later, Kurokage and Gridon were doing some training until some people arrive, thinking that there will be a battle. Ouren then reveals that he announced the battle as he transforms into Armored Rider Bravo to fight Gridon and Kurokage.

Personality
Ryoji is a hot headed leader and lacks the most common sense of his team, and he is considered the weakest Armored Rider since his Sengoku Driver is powered by a Class C Lockseed. During battle he takes the lead pushing Gridon towards the  opponent.

Arms
Like with the other Lockseed-using Kamen Riders, Kamen Rider Kurokage's forms are called Arms (アームズ).
