 This article is about a villain in Kamen Rider Blade.
|
Template:Characterinfo Hiroshi Tennoji (天王路 博史, Ten'nōji Hiroshi) was the chairman of BOARD who intentionally set up the series of events in the fake Battle Fight and the creation of the Category Ace Keroberos, so that he could have his "dream" come true: this warped dream being of a new world order with himself as its ruler.
History
Tennoji sealed the Kerberos Undead himself into the Change Kerberos card for his true plan: Using a surgically grafted device based on the Rider System technology to fuse with his creation, becoming Kerberos II with Tennoji's face on the monster's chest.
It took all 4 Riders to fight Kerberos II, with Blade King Form's Royal Straight Flush and Wild Chalice's Wild Cyclone only able to reverse the fusion. However, the Giraffa Undead takes the Change Keroberos for himself in the fight's aftermath for his own agenda. In the end, he was murdered by the Giraffa Undead after he was defeated by the Riders with his dreams shattered.

Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Hiroshi Tennoji is portrayed by Kohji Moritsugu (森次 晃嗣, Moritsugu Kōji) , who is best known for his role as Dan Moroboshi in Ultra Seven.
Etymology
Part of Tennoji's surname is a homophone with "Emperor" (天皇, Tennō), the title all of Japan's emperors use, reflecting his desire to rule.
His full name, when translated literally, would mean "the king's path of commanding history", reflecting his goal of becoming a ruler by setting up and controlling the Battle Fight, which was once a monumental moment in history.
