Kamen Rider Faiz

Kamen Rider Faiz (仮面ライダーファイズ) 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.

Kamen Rider Faiz may refer to any the following characters.

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