Takeru Tenkuji

Takeru Tenkuji (天空寺 タケル) aka the supernatural hero Kamen Rider Ghost (仮面ライダーゴースト) is the eponymous protagonist of the upcoming Kamen Rider Series, Kamen Rider Ghost.

Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future
In the Kamen Rider Drive summer movie, Takeru briefly appeared and aided the Special Unit by fighting and destroying some of the numberless Roidmudes. While the TV ad trailer did not show Drive present during this fight, the scenes allude to Kiriko and Genpachiro possibly witnessing the fight of the supernatural warrior.

Kamen Rider Drive
As Kamen Rider Ghost, Takeru first appears before Shinnosuke Tomari in a dream the detective experiences during a near-death experience following the destruction of the Sigma Circular. Finding himself in a forest, Shinnosuke is advised by the new Kamen Rider to avoid the dark portal next to him, through which the ghosts of three dead Roidmudes, Super Evolved Freeze, Sword, and Thief, emerge. Ghost introduces himself to his predecessor as he directs him to a bright light which returns him to the real world before defeating the Roidmude spirits, destroying them with a series of slashes from his Gan Gun Saber.

Kamen Rider: Battride War Genesis
Ghost appears as the current hero in Kamen Rider: Battride War Genesis.

Personality
Takeru is a timid young man who at first is a bit nervous and scared when he became a superhero. His ability to make himself physically solid as a ghost was also hard to control at first as it depended on his emotional state and his emotions were in conflict at times due to his worrying and depression of his deceased state. Upon hearing that he only had 99 days to live, he felt he couldn't achieve his goal of obtaining the other Eyecons. He was a bit self-defeating at times due to a lack of confidence, something that seems to have faded away by the time he meets Shinnosuke Tomari

Damashii
Ghost's forms are called Damashii (魂), accessed using the Ghost Eyecons.

Fighting Style
Takeru's fighting style in his Ore Damashii form is agility-based, using his natural abilities as a ghost to "float", briefly and quickly levitating short distances to and away from his opponent for fast strikes or to quickly evade attack.
