Aruto Hiden

Aruto Hiden (飛電或人) is a 22-year-old aspiring comedian who became the CEO of Hiden Intelligence after the death of his grandfather. Originally uninterested in taking up the position, he became witness to the terrorist attacks committed by MetsubouJinrai.NET and reluctantly became Kamen Rider Zero-One (仮面ライダーゼロワン) for the sake of pursuing his dreams of making others smile.

Early Life
Aruto Hiden was born the grandson of Hiden Intelligence CEO, Korenosuke Hiden. He would be raised by a HumaGear named Soreo Hiden who acted as Aruto's surrogate father.

Aruto and Soreo were present on the day of the Daybreak Town Accident, where they were enjoying a family outing with young Aruto spent most of his time engaging in comedic antics. When the chaos erupted from the Hiden Intelligence building, Soreo shielded Aruto from one of the explosions, but was grievously damaged in the process. In his final moments, Soreo encourages Aruto to continue pursuing his dream before his systems shutdown completely, leaving the young boy to grieve.

Becoming Zero-One
At the age of 22, Aruto is continuously struggling to hold his career as a comedian. After getting fired from his job at a theme park, Aruto was met at the park entrance by Izu, a secretary-type HumaGear who escorted him to Hiden Intelligence headquarters to discuss the wills of his late grandfather,

Brought before the executive committee, Aruto reads his late grandfather's wills and is shocked to discover that an imminent crisis involving the HumaGears will happen again, and the only way to combat against them is the Hiden Zero-One Driver, to be used exclusively by the succeeding president, whom his grandfather nammed Aruto as. Although the entire board of directors were enraged by this sudden development, Aruto quickly turns out the role and excuses himself.

As Aruto goes back to the theme park in an attempt to beg for his job back, the Berotha Magia attacks the park, and Aruto attempts to stop it but is beaten senseless. After getting triggered from hearing that human dreams were meaningless, Aruto restood his ground and asks the just-arrived Izu for the Zero-One Driver. Aruto's mind his then uplinked into the communications satellite Zea, where his mind processing speeds are enhanced to the point where he learns the entire Zero-One tutorial in five seconds. Aruto transforms into Zero-One and destroys the Magia henchman as well as the Berotha Magia. After his first battle, Izu reveals that by accepting the Zero-One Driver, Aruto had also accepted being the president. Originally being reluctant to do so, he was inspired to do so after seeing the park manager be grateful for Zero-One.
