Kamen Rider Faiz

Kamen Rider Faiz (仮面ライダーファイズ, Kamen Raidā Faizu) is the main protagonist of the 2003-2004 Kamen Rider Series installment Kamen Rider 555. Its gear is the first of the Rider Gears seen in the series. Its motif is based on the Greek letter phi (Φ)

Faiz Gear
The Faiz Gear was the second set of Kamen Rider Gear developed by the Smart Brain Corporation to protect the Orphnoch King. The Faiz Gear had less power than the original Delta Gear, but had a much greater functionality. Like most of the Rider Gears that Smart Brain developed, the Faiz Gear can only be worn by Orphnochs or humans implanted with Orphnoch DNA.

Transforming into Kamen Rider Faiz burns Orphnoch DNA, so humans who have been implanted with this DNA will quickly run out and no longer be able to use the Faiz Gear. Humans with insufficient DNA are rejected by the Faiz Gear with the word 'error'. Orphnochs may use the Faiz Gear more often (in their human form only), but their DNA breaks down with continued use.

Original Series
In the original Kamen Rider 555 series, its first known, and primary wearer is Takumi Inui.
 * Takumi Inui (Wolf Orphnoch)
 * Yuji Kiba (Horse Orphnoch)
 * Akai (Cactus Orphnoch)
 * Naoya Kaido (Snake Orphnoch)
 * Itsuro Takuma (Centipede Orphnoch)
 * Masato Kusaka

The Faiz Gear was stolen and utilized (all in different occassions) by Akai, Naoya Kaido, and Takuma Itsurou. Masato Kusaka used the gear once to trick Kiba and Takumi into thinking they betrayed each other.

During the short time Takumi was going through a crisis, Kiba temporarily used the Gear until he returned. By the end of the series, the Gear was still intact.

Kamen Rider Decade
In alternate version of reality where Kamen Rider 555 takes place that appeared in Kamen Rider Decade, the Faiz Gear is only shown used by Takumi Ogami himself.

Faiz Gear
The Faiz Gear is a collection of seemingly normal items developed by the Smart Brain corporation based on an element item, the Faiz Mission Memory. A small metallic card key with the Faiz symbol on it, the Mission Memory can be inserted into certain Faiz Gear, turning the item into a powerful weapon. The Gear is usually stored inside a Smart Brain secured briefcase until needed.

Faiz Driver
Designated "SB-555B", this transformation device was developed by Smart Brain as a means to protect the Orphnoch King while constructed in the shape of a belt. The Faiz Driver was designed for specific compatibility with the Faiz Phone, generating the photon streams that form the Faiz Armor when the Mission Memory is installed into the phone. If the belt is removed, the armor dissolves.

Faiz Phone
Designated "SB-555P", this cellphone device is the control unit of the Faiz Gear, the primary storage place for a Mission Memory as transgenerator that powers the Faiz Gear or the Faiz Axel Form by dialing the activation code. When the phone is transformed into Phone Blaster Mode, it can be used for long range attacks with the Faiz Pointer used to boost its abilities. It is also capable of functioning as a normal cell phone.
 * 5-5-5 Enter: This code allows for the user to become Faiz until he is a normal human. The code can invoke the transformation to Blaster Form. Not every human can use this function. If a normal human does this, the phone will not say "COMPLETE" but will instead say "ERROR", and the phone violently ejects from the user along with the belt.
 * 1-0-3 Enter (Single Mode): This code allows for Faiz to convert the Faiz Phone into the Phone Blaster and fire a continuous beam of Photon Energy for about 3 seconds. It has 12 shots until it must be recharged.
 * 1-0-6 Enter (Burst Mode): This code allows for Faiz to convert the Faiz Phone into the Phone Blaster and fire 3 round bursts of Photon Energy. It has 4 bursts until it must be recharged.
 * 2-7-9 Enter (Charge): This code allows for Faiz to give the Phone Blaster a five second recharge.
 * 3-8-2-1 Enter: This code allows for Faiz to summon the Jet Sliger.
 * Enter: This code allows for Faiz to execute a "EXCEED CHARGE" attack depending on the item he inserted the Mission Memory into, sending a burst of power from the Faiz Driver, along the Photon Streams, to the weapon in question giving it a tremendous power boost, and in some cases extra abilities.

Faiz Sounder
Appearing only on the Hyper Battle video, this boom box can convert into two cannons that shoots photon waves when the Faiz Mission Memory is inserted into it.

Notes & Trivia

 * Although the name "Faiz" of Kamen Rider Faiz is from the greek word/symbol Φ's (Phi's), the "Faiz" spelling is maybe a misspelling of "Vice" from word "Device" as Kamen Rider Faiz use a device to transform. This is the same as "Kaixa" of Kamen Rider Kaixa which can be interpreted as "Kaizer/Kaiser" (in Japanese, Kaiser (カイザー) is pronounced as "Kaizā ").
 * Despite being referred to as "FAIZ," other variations in his name include the following:
 * Kamen Rider 555
 * Kamen Rider Faizu
 * Kamen Rider Phi
 * Kamen Rider Fives
 * Kamen Rider Phi's
 * Kamen Rider Φ's
 * In the 40th episode of Kamen Rider Faiz, the Faiz Blaster has the "Cancel" button in it. Whereas in the movie Paradise Lost, it lacks this function.
 * The number 555 which is Kamen Rider Faiz's number, is Japan's emergency number.
 * Faiz means "victorious" in Arabic which referenced to Faiz's victory over the Orphnoch.

Rider Cards
Several Rider Cards allow Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade to access the power of Faiz.
 * KamenRide Card: Transforms Decade into Faiz, initially sealed after being used once. Regained when Tsukasa teaches Takumi that protecting those dear matters regardless of who he is.  Sometime, Decade can summon Faiz Edge without using Attack Ride Autovajin.
