Category:Phantoms

Phantoms (ファントム) are the antagonists that appear in the 2012-2013 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Wizard. Phantoms seek out humans who are deep in despair, as certain humans with these feelings known as Gates (ゲート). By sacrificing the human, it allows for more Phantoms to escape the Underworld (精神世界<アンダーワールド>). If Kamen Rider Wizard stops the sacrifice, he can use an Engage Wizard Ring to remove the feelings of despair and prevent Phantoms from escaping their personal Underworld.

Each Phantom has a form based on a monster from various mythologies. There are also minor Phantoms known as Ghouls that serve as the stronger Phantoms' foot soldiers. Ghouls are created from magical stones, and while not as strong as Phantoms produced from Gates, they can withstand gunfire.

Minotauros
Minotauros (ミノタウロス) was previously created by opening the gate of Toriizaka Station detective Amino (網野). Armed with the Bull Axe (ブルアックス) and capable of producing small fire balls, Phoenix and Medusa send him to create a new Phantom using his detective partner Rinko Daimon, whose locket gives her hope that she will succeed in her job like her father before her. Minotauros seeks to destroy this locket, thereby activating her latent Gate abilities and transforming her into a Phantom. Once Daimon's Underworld is opened, Kamen Rider Wizard follows Minotauros into it, finding it to be a rural town that she grew up in with her father.

Amino is portrayed by RIKIYA.
