Peko

"What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to make us humiliated?"

- Kaito as he angrily scolded Peco and breaks his slingshot.

"I... I wanna dance too. This is the reason why I joined the top dance in history. So-!"

- Peco, when he reveals the reason he join Team Baron dance team after watching Kamen Rider Bravo's mockery ads on All Beat Rider teams.

Peco (ペコ) is a member of Team Baron. In the Kamen Rider Gaim summer movie, he transforms into Kamen Rider Kurokage Shin (仮面ライダー黒影・真 [クロカゲ シン]).

Personality
He is loyal to Kaito, but cheats to help Team Baron win at the Inves Games. The reason he cheats is because he loves dancing, but since Inves Games were getting popular before the Beat Riders teams were branded pariahs, he cheated to make the Inves Games go by faster so he can go back to dancing.

Upon Team Gaim wanting to put an end to the Inves game by gathering all Beat Rider Teams to retain their public images rather than being treated as outcasts by the people of Zawame, Peco, along with Zack show their good sides that they want to dance to make people happy.

History
During the course of the series, Peco is a dance lover, dancing is in his passion. He helps cheat in the Inves games with a slingshot, disarming the Lockseed user and causing them to forfeit due to being unable to control their Inves and causing Team Baron to stay at the top of the ranking. Later, during the Beat Rider scandal, he is injured by Oren, causing Kaito to back off from his fight with Oren. Peco later shows his disapproval when Kaito refuses to join the Beat Rider All-Team Dance Show, but later goes when Kaito resigns from being Team Baron's leader. Peco, along with Zack, defends the city in the event Kouta isn't available, providing backup to Zack, aka Armored Rider Knuckle.

Behind the scenes

 * Peco is the only member of Team Baron with a name who is not an Armored Rider in the series. However, in the movie, he gains the Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed and turns into Kurokage Shin.
 * Strangely, he is the only New Generation Rider to not use a Sonic Arrow, as well as the only one with a unique weapon. In this case, Kurokage Shin uses an enhanced version of the Kagematsu.
 * He is also the only New Generation Rider with two shoulder pads.
 * He also does not sport his Rider symbol on any part of his armor, unlike the other New Generation Riders.
 * His personal Lockseed, the Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed, announces "Liquid" instead of "Soda" in the Genesis Driver. This is due to the fact that pinecone soda doesn't actually exist when compared to lemon, cherry, peach, and melon soda/energy beverages.
 * Because of his weapon's appearance in episode 33, it is possible to be indicate that Peco's Rider form no longer a Movie exclusive.
