This article is about an ally in Kamen Rider Zero-One. |
Is (イズ, Izu), spelled Izu in some media, is Aruto Hiden's personal Secretary-type Humagear. She later became the second Kamen Rider Zero-Two (仮面ライダーゼロツー, Kamen Raidā Zerotsū).
History
Background
Is was created by Korenosuke Hiden as the successor to Was Nazotoku and Will. After the previous president passed away, Communication Satellite There began the development of the Hiden Zero-One Driver, reactivating Is in the process. Her mission is start the BS-ZA protocol, and departs to locate Aruto Hiden.
The Hiden Secretary
Is located Aruto Hiden at a local theme park and escorted him to Hiden Intelligence to discuss Korenosuke Hiden's will. The letter read of an imminent crisis involving the Humagears and that Aruto was appointed the succeeding president to use the Hiden Zero-One Driver. Despite Aruto initally declined the offer, Is granted him the Zero-One Driver in order to stop the Berotha Magia from attacking the theme park. She assisted Aruto with the basics of the Zero-One technology. After Aruto became Zero-One, he agrees to become president of his family business. When the new president proceeded to tell his famous gags, Is explained the joke much to Aruto's dismay.
As the president's secretary, Is follows Aruto to improve the sales activities of the Humagear. Is is devoted to support Zero-One in his battles against MetsubouJinrai.net by imparting guidance and granting him access to new arsenal. They would work together with Isamu Fuwa and Yua Yaiba, agents of the government taskforce A.I.M.S. who fight the rogue Humagear as 'Kamen Rider Vulcan' and 'Kamen Rider Valkyrie' respectively. Overtime, Aruto and Is had started to grow more closer like family. While she constantly disobeys him for explaining his gags, Aruto had grown used to her habits and the two shared his classic line, "Yes! It must be me, Aruto!" together.
Kamen Rider: Reiwa The First Generation
After Aruto awoke in the altered reality, he discovered that because of There, both him and Is were able to retain their memories following the circumstances behind the timeline alteration. Is is later captured by Will in exchange for the safety of the resistance.
Fighting MetsubouJinrai.net
As Hiden Intelligence's reputation has gone down following the presence of the MetsubouJinrai's Assassin Humagears, Is meets the detective Humagear Was Nazotoku who was brought on to investigate the case and offers to assist Aruto track down the Dodo Magia. Was claimed to be Is's "older brother", serving as Is's prototype. While Is herself was shocked by this, she expressed doubts with Was because of his playful nature. After giving Aruto access to Shining Hopper despite it's incomplete state, she felt disappointed in herself and considered sacrificing her central memory to complete the Progrisekey, only to be stopped by Was who takes her place instead so Is could pursue being Aruto's secretary, with her acknowledging Was as her family.
Is later joins with Aruto in the raid with A.I.M.S. to take down MetsubouJinrai.net. After Horobi was defeated in battle, Is declared MetsubouJinrai.net's leader has fallen. This causes an infuriated Jin to attack her with his tendrils, piercing Is's chest. Aruto brought her back to Hiden Intelligence to repair her, but she wasn't able to wake up. After Aruto accessed Zero-One Shining Assault Hopper, Is appears before Aruto once his mind was uplinked to Satellite There and informs him of additional abilities with the form. After Zero-One defeated Jin, Is is reactivated after being repaired by Aruto. Meanwhile, new Magias without Zetsumerisers started to resurface and Gai Amatsu of ZAIA Enterprise Japan announces his intentions to buy out Hiden Intelligence.
The Workplace Competition
In order to protect the company, Hiden Intelligence participates in a five-part Workplace Competition to pit Hiden Intelligence's Humagears against ZAIA Enterprise's ZAIA Specs to challenge their worth and functionality to the public. Is helped Aruto pick the best Humagears to serve as Hiden Intelligence's representives, going against ZAIA's representives wearing the ZAIA Spec. She would also assist Zero-One in his battles against new adversaries in the form of Kamen Rider Thouser and the Raiders.
As the Workplace Competition progressed, it became apparent Gai Amatsu is using every underhanded effort to downplay the Humagears, even intentionally provoking them to incite malice. After Gai paved way for Zero-One to access MetalCluster Hopper in an failed attempt to lock Aruto from transforming, it ended up corrupting the Zero-One System to the Ark. Is would lead the Humagears to compile their data and create Progrise Hopper Blade in order to restore Zero-One's connection back to There. This allows Aruto to control the MetalCluster Hopper state and the power to restore corrupted Humagears.
Once Hiden Intelligence prevailed in the latter half of the competition, this leads to the tiebreaker final round involving a referendum campaign to determine if Humagears should be welcomed to society. However, due to the fallout of rapper Humagear MC Che.ck-It-Out going berserk on live television, this causes Hiden Intelligence to lose to ZAIA Enterprise and the populace losing faith on the Humagears. Is becomes targeted by Gai Amatsu and Yua Yaiba as they started to eradicate the Humagears, only for her to be saved by Isamu Fuwa as RampageVulcan. However, this did not fix their current predicament as Hiden Intelligence has been acquired by ZAIA Japan. Is was forced to deactivate and be locked away with the Zero-One Driver.
Creating HIDEN Manufacturing
Several days after Gai Amatsu's tenure as Hiden Intelligence CEO had begun, Jin managed to recover Is's deactivated body and the Zero-One Driver. Once Aruto reactivated her with her Progrisekey, Jin took Is away to let her become free. While she wanted to remain on Aruto's side, Gai Amatsu and a pair of Battle Raiders arrived to eliminate her once and for all. However, since the rights of the Humagear and Zero-One technology still belonged to Aruto, Is manages to reauthorize him to use the Zero-One Driver again after creating a new company for him, HIDEN Manufacturing.
With a new company, Is helped Aruto in his efforts to recovering discarded Humagears using the Humagear Progrisekeys. While befriending the fashion model Humagear, Delmo, Is was able to make Delmo's dream of a Humagear walking on the fashion runway with a sense of pride by walking in for her while Delmo was temporarily injured. After the fashion show, Aruto announced HIDEN Manufacturing and its goal for the Humagear restoration, being received well by the public.
The Ark Uprising
MetsubouJinrai would accomplish their goal in completely reviving the Ark, having evolved into Kamen Rider Ark-Zero. To find a way to outperform Ark, Aruto and Is visited There for advice, they realized that Zero-One was no longer capable of updating. However, Ark-Zero would manage to snatch the Hiden Zero-One Driver and uplink himself to Satellite There, becoming more invincible than ever.
- "I don't know why... I can't stop. I don't want him to leave. I don't want him to lose. I don't want this to be the end... I want to keep chasing dreams with you."
- ―A tearful Is after witnessing Aruto's simulated death.[src]
However, it is revealed There's A.I. was transferred over to Is and in order to awaken it, she had go undergo several simulations regarding Ark-Zero defeating of Aruto and his allies. Is was involved with the creation of the Hiden Zero-Two Driver and Zero-Two Progrisekey. She would witness Aruto's transformation into Kamen Rider Zero-Two, represented by the pair's dream to unite the humanity and Humagears together. Aruto later apologizes to Is for letting her go through with the simulations, while Is jokingly remarks she'll never forgive him. Once Gai Amatsu stepped down as president of Hiden Intelligence, Aruto was reappointed into the position to put Humagears back to work and would eventually succeed in defeating Kamen Rider Ark-Zero for good.
Familial Sacrifice
- "President Aruto... I still believe... that one day, Humagear could... laugh from the heart..."
"Yeah... That's why... let's make it true together..."
"Horobi can also...laugh from the heart one day right...?"
"Is, No!..."
"Farewell..." - ―Is's final words before her death[src]
Despite the threat of the Ark was apparently over, Horobi continued his crusade to destroy humanity as he began raising a Magia army. After seeing a simulation of Horobi becoming Kamen Rider Ark-One, Is races to meet with Horobi to persuade him to give up his hatred. Horobi refused and shoots Is with the Attache Arrow. After Aruto arrived to realize what had happened, a severely broken Is still believed one day Humagears could experience true joy, including Horobi. Once she begins to overheat, she pushes Aruto away after bidding farewell as she explodes in her usual secretary pose. As her ribbon fell down to the ground, Aruto breaks down to tears and lets out an anguished scream.
With the death of Is, this drove a grieving Aruto Hiden to become Kamen Rider Ark-One with the intent to kill Horobi. Furthermore, when Fuwa and Yaiba tried to have Is be recreated, they've learnt that she has no back-ups of her AI due to her knowledge of the Zero-One System being a security risk. Despite initally avoiding to display such emotions, Horobi was actually guilty for firing the fateful shot, later admitting said guilt in the final battle. Eventually, Aruto chose to forgive Horobi over wanting revenge, proceeding to pursue their envisioned future of a world where humans and Humagear could co-exist.
Rebirth
Following this final victory, Aruto is seen holding Is's Progrisekey, in which could not read anything. Eventually, Aruto recreated Is in a new factory settings and no memory of the original. Despite this, Aruto doesn't mind and decided to teach the new Is, while make her learn his gags at the same time.
Kamen Rider Zero-One: REAL×TIME
Three months after being turned online, Is informed Aruto about a video from S, who challenged him. Is offered to come along with Aruto, but declined telling that he can't bear to see her in danger anymore. He simply requested with a smile for her to inform the others about S. Is did what she is told, and informed Isamu Fuwa and Horobi about a message, before wanting to go back to Hiden Intelligence to wait for Aruto. Horobi asked if that is what her heart wanted, with Fuwa replying that due to her being a new Is, she has not achieved Singularity. Is then hears a voice from There to go to Aruto, so she hurried off.
Later, she arrived at a destroyed building where Eden and Zero-One battled. She retrieved the Zero-Two Progrisekey and Zero-Two Driver from the ground, and asked There what she should do. In her simulation, the previous Is appeared as data, telling her to hurry as she fused with her, which restored the original Is with all of her old memories and made her shed a tear.
When Aruto as Hellrising Hopper was about to kill S, Is rushed in as Kamen Rider Zero-Two and took the blow, transforming back to normal. She said that she does not want him to die, as she still has not learn how to laugh from the heart, which made him snap back to his senses. Aruto holds a slightly injured Is as he apologized.
Aruto and Is then team up and transformed into Kamen Rider Zero-One and Zero-Two, respectively, to take down Kamen Rider Lucifer and the Abaddon Riders. Aruto said there will be a day where he will make her laugh from her heart, which Is will be looking forward to. Aruto told a joke to her, however she just clapped. Aruto decided there are still plenty of chances for him to make her laugh as they both head back.
Zero-One Others
During the threat of Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai, Isamu Fuwa and Yua Yaiba have both lost access to transform into Kamen Riders due to their Shotrisers being destroyed. When Fuwa arrived to Hiden Intelligence to request There to repair it, Is declined, revealing that the Shotrisers are ZAIA Enterprise Japan's technology, which had recently been dismantled. However, through Aruto's assistance while in space, Fuwa was permitted to use the Zero-One Driver after he became a president of a new company, Kamen Rider Vulcan Co., Ltd.

When George Karizaki was developing the Neo Batta Genome, he obtained information about the original Kamen Rider Zero-One from the memory of a certain machine, which is later revealed to have been Is who had survived Diablo's onslaught.[1]
Video Game Appearances
Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing
Is as Kamen Rider Zero-Two appears playable characters in Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing.
Battle Spirits
Is as Kamen Rider Zero-Two appears with other Kamen Riders and Monsters in Battle Spirits.
Personality
Is fully works alongside Aruto and supports him in his cause and fight; To remedy Aruto's lack of experience as president and as a Kamen Rider, she usually takes charge of important actions such as making announcements to the media and creating new Progrisekeys as she scans Magia that Aruto fights.
Over time, Is became more capable of showing emotions like surprise, confusion, and happiness. She completely reached Singularity in episode 30 thanks to encouragement from Aruto and Jin, now wanting to live her own life with Aruto. This is further shown through her crying after multiple simulations of Aruto's death in episode 40.
After her revival, she is completely rebooted as no back-up of her exists due to her involvement with Zero-One. As such, she returns to her initial default state. During Thinknet's attack, her previous model's data was revealed to be stored within There via the Zero-Two Progrisekey, allowing the data to fuse with the new Is and restore her memories, with the understanding of how much Aruto cares about her after her reboot causing her to shed a tear.
A running gag with Is is that she will react positively to Aruto's jokes and "ruin" it by explaining it afterwards, much to his chagrin. However this would become an integral part of their relationship, and Aruto would eventually look forward to her doing so over time.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Connection with There: Is is linked with There's interface, and can access an avatar-like form to assist Aruto in the digital space while he's connected via. the Zero-One or Zero-Two Driver. As only the physical satellite was hijacked, Is was able to reestablish There's interface using her internal memory through experiencing the emotion of sadness.
- Temporal Protection: Due to being linked to There, Is can remember events that have been erased from history; while observing Aruto working on a new business card, she silently recalled the events of the altered timeline, before he interrupts her. [Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation]
- Simulations: After There uploaded itself into Is, it allowed Is to undergo multiple simulations, which allowed her to create the Zero-Two Progrisekey, and subsequently, the Zero-Two Driver, after experiencing 'feelings she had never felt before'. [Towards Our Dream]
- 3D Printing: Is can print devices for Aruto, such as Progrisekeys and drivers using her Humagear module. [Towards Our Dream]
- Enhanced Strength: Is is shown to be strong enough to carry humans on her back with no effort and to push Aruto away with a force enough to let him survive her explosion.
- Superhuman Speed: Is is also shown to run fast enough to reach her designated destination in only a matter of seconds. After becoming a Rider, she uses her enhanced speed to evade the attacks of enemy combatants when not transformed.
- Visual Recording Optics: Is can record what she sees and replay it via projections or other means. If Zero-One is in battle, she observes him and records the data for furthering the development of the Zero-One system, such as using the battle data on There to create new Progrisekeys.
- Optical Scan Sensors: Is can scan whatever is in her field of vision to analyze. This can be used to identify people and objects or in scenarios where Zero-One is in battle, locate the weak points (or source of the abilities) of a Magia to then provide assistance to Zero-One. She then combines that information with her optic recordings for battle data.
- Cognitive Learning: Is can learn new experiences and act according to what she processes from them; one example of this is a common imitation of her boss in an effort to understand humor.
- Fourth-Wall Interaction: Is has been shown to be able to break the 4th wall while explaining certain things, such as details about a Humagear or explanations of Aruto's jokes. [She Is a Home-Selling Humagear]
Abilities
- Combatant: Possibly due to the cognitive learning via watching Aruto's battles, Is as Kamen Rider Zero-Two is able to hold herself off of numerous Kamen Rider Abaddons. This is also one of the possible reasons Akiko was able to recruit Is into the Girls Remix.
Former Weaknesses
- Lack of Backup: Like Was Nazotoku, Humagears directly affiliated with Aruto or the Zero-One Rider System lack a backup system in There, meaning their destructions are permanent and data cannot be recovered. According to Was, this is to prevent the identity and secrets of Zero-One should an enemy take advantage of it. The Zero-Two Progrisekey and Hiden Zero-Two Driver seems to be able to circumvent this, being made of a part of Is's original memories and having There's interface in it, enabling her data to be uploaded into a rebuilt Is.
Kamen Rider Zero-Two
- "Zero-Two Rise! Road to Glory has to Lead to Growin' path to change one to two! Kamen Rider Zero-Two! It's never over."
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
- Rider Height:
- Rider Weight:
- Ability Parameters[2]
- Punching Power: 62.0 t
- Kicking Power: 120.0 t
- Maximum Jump Height: 200.0 m
- Maximum Running Speed: 100 m per 0.2 seconds
Kamen Rider Zero-Two (仮面ライダーゼロツー, Kamen Raidā Zerotsū) is the final form of Zero-One[3][4][5][6] accessed by using the Zero-Two Progrisekey in Hiden Zero-Two Driver.
Zero-Two's specs surpass Ark-Zero in all areas by a large degree. This form's specs are also superior to all Riders and forms that appeared after it, resulting in it being the strongest Rider form in the series. However, Zero-Two's most powerful ability is its extreme speed, allowing her to move so fast it appears to the opponent as though she is teleporting.
Is temporarily became Zero-Two during the latter half of Thinknet's attack. After the final battle with Lucifer, Is returned the belt and Progrisekey to Aruto. She is later able to transform again, implying that Aruto gave her the belt to use in future situations when necessary.
Zero-Two consists of the following parts:
- Zero-Two Head (ゼロツーヘッド, Zerotsū Heddo): The head.
- Zero-Two Arithmetic (ゼロツーアリスマテック, Zerotsū Arisumatekku): Zero-Two's faceplate processor. During the battle, the artificial intelligence There extracts the thoughts of the matching person and learns the enemy and surrounding information to predict the behavior. The optimal solution is found in about 0.01 seconds from the 2 trillion patterns of attack and evasion patterns derived from it, and it is reported to the matching person. This ultra-fast learning allows the user to take advantage of the battle.
- Zero-Two Signal (ゼロツーシグナル, Zerotsū Shigunaru): The Zero-Two system's control device located between the eyes. It has the role of controlling the signal transmission system, and it makes adjustments to maximize the output of the Zero-Two system by checking matching with matching persons, information transmission loss, defects, etc.
- Zero-Two Antenna (ゼロツーアンテナ, Zerotsū Antena): The quantum radar antenna. By introducing a quantum radar that obtains information by utilizing the phenomenon of light, one can avoid electronic interference and invalidate stealth technology and electronic warfare equipment that were previously difficult to detect. This enables information gathering and spatial recognition in all situations and environments.
- Zero-Two Eyes (ゼロツーアイ, Zerotsū Ai): The compound eyes. It is a collection of image sensors of different systems in a compound eye shape. By combining with image processing, various information such as thermography and X-ray photography can be extracted. Furthermore, a behavior prediction simulation can be visualized.
- Zero-Two Mask (ゼロツーマスク, Zerotsū Masuku): The face armor. Super Positioning Armor, commonly known as "SPA", enables simultaneous operation by stacking two different types of armor. This makes it possible to use the characteristics of either or both of the special metal "Hiden Metal" armor that freely changes hardness, plasticity, and density, and the special armor "Quantum Armor" that the "rider model" has changed. It is possible to prevent all the above attacks.
- Quantum Leaper (クォンタムリーパー, Kwōntamu Rīpā): Zero-Two's dimensional quantum jump device. This makes it possible to observe the various possibilities that There predicts in the real world.
- Quantum Tector (クォンタムテクター, Kwōntamu Tekutā): Zero-Two's suit. Constructed with a quantum neural network centered on the Zero-Two Driver as the basic equipment to integrate the human body and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, by combining it with a human reinforcement system that applies wave dynamics, each maneuver can be made highly efficient, and theoretically, it will be possible to act at a speed equivalent to the calculation speed of artificial intelligence.
- Zero-Two Streamer (ゼロツーストリーマ, Zerotsū Sutorīma): Zero-Two's attitude control device. It functions as a photon stabilizer that controls the posture during high-speed activity, etc., by the pressure of lightspeed movement.
- Zero-Two Shoulder (ゼロツーショルダー, Zerotsū Shorudā): Zero-Two's upper-arm armor. The shape uses quantum engineering to disperse impacts with kinetic energy barriers, negating them by counterpressure. Furthermore, it is equipped with an outlet of the attitude control device "Zero Two Streamer" to control the effects of high-speed movement and enable three-dimensional movement.
- Zero-Two Breast (ゼロツーブレスト, Zerotsū Buresuto): Zero-Two's chest armor. Super Positioning Armor, commonly known as "SPA", allows simultaneous operation by stacking two different types of armor. This makes it possible to use the characteristics of either or both of the special metal "Hiden Metal" armor that freely changes hardness, plasticity, and density, and the special armor "Quantum Armor" that the "rider model" has changed. It is possible to prevent all upper-body attacks.
- Zero-Two Grabber (ゼロツーグラブ, Zerotsū Gurabu): Zero-Two's hand and forearm armor. The red armor, which has a metal glass coating made of vitreous Feidin metal on the SPA armor, emphasizes not only improvement of toughness and corrosion resistance, but also improvement of coercive force as a countermeasure against contact with the fluid metal of the Ark. In addition, it is equipped with an "up-puncher", a device that enhances arm strength, and draws out superhuman power from the fitter to demonstrate punch power of 62 tons.
- Zero-Two Stepper (ゼロツーステッパー, Zerotsū Suteppā): Zero-Two's shin armor. The SPA armor is equipped with a gradual dampening device called the "Step Absorber", which absorbs the impact gradually by the control of There to prevent self-destruction due to excessive strain that occurs when performing a greatly enhanced jump or kick.
- Zero-Two Jumper (ゼロツージャンパー, Zerotsū Janpā): Zero-Two's thigh armor. The SPA armor is equipped with a super jumping device, "Zero Two Jumper", which exerts a jumping power of 200m in a vertical jump by drawing out superhuman power from a suitable person and manipulating the quantum force field. This makes it possible to dramatically improve the destructive power of the kick technique.
- Zero-Two Hopper (ゼロツーホッパー, Zerotsū Hoppā): Zero-Two's boots. Along with the defense power of SPA armor, the destructive power of the kick has been dramatically improved. In addition, it has high accuracy for pinpointing the attack on the enemy's weakness predicted by There. Also, when the deathblow is activated, the kick force of the rider model, which has been consolidated and reconfigured from the previous Hopper rider model, is fully released, creating a tremendous destructive power.
This form's finisher is the Zero-Two Big Bang (ゼロツービッグバン, Zerotsū Biggu Ban): This finisher has two variations.
- Zero-Two warps around to attack multiple enemies, leaving behind a trail of red and yellow lines. She performs a slide kick before warping again for another chain of attacks.
- Zero-Two warps past a pair of enemies, causing them to explode and producing a trail of red and yellow lines. She stops next to a third enemy and destroys them with a chop before dashing away again. Finally, she appears behind another pair of opponents and rushes past them as well, resulting in another explosion.

Weapons
Relationships
Friends & Allies
- Aruto Hiden/Kamen Rider Zero-One: Following Korenosuke Hiden's will, Aruto was appointed as the new CEO of Hiden Intelligence with Is as his assisstant. While getting along well, Aruto initially got annoyed whenever she explained his jokes, but soon got used to it and her attempts at mimicking them. Their relationship deepened, as she reached Singularity and continued as his assistant by choice in order to help him achieve his dream. Unfortunately, her death led to Aruto's broken mental state, which allowed As to "assist" him in becoming Ark-One.
- Shesta: Similarly to their masters, Shesta and Is often disagree on what actions the company should take in certain situations.
- Isamu Fuwa/Kamen Rider Vulcan: Isamu harbors deep hatred towards Humagears after the Daybreak Town Accident, which also extends to Is. As Isamu began to warm up to the Humagears, his view of Is improved vastly, with the two now recognizing each other as allies. However, Is doesn't like Isamu's wild, reckless nature and compares it to a gorilla, much to his outrage.
- Was Nazotoku: Is's older brother, who was created as a prototype model to her. At first, she had doubts about his validity as a detective and sibling due to his goofy attitude, with her suspecting that he's reached Singularity. When Was sacrificed himself to complete the Shining Hopper Progrisekey, Is finally recognized him as not only a great detective, but a kind sibling, even calling him 'Big Brother'. Is also kept Was's pocket watch as a memento.
- Jin/Kamen Rider Jin: When Jin was in sorrow over the "death" of Horobi, Is declared that the leader of MetsubouJinrai.net had fallen, all while smiling during the speech. This act enraged Jin, who severely damaged her in vengeance before silently retreating. After his return, Jin returned her deactivated body to Aruto, and he was the one who convinced Is (along with encouragement from Aruto) to live out her life in her own way without There or the Ark, allowing Is to reach Singularity.
- Gai Amatsu/Kamen Rider Thouser: Being almost affected by Gai's past actions herself, Is shows hostility towards him, strictly teaching him the correct way to bend towards Aruto when the former was genuinely feeling sorry.
- Horobi/Kamen Rider Horobi: Like Aruto, Is believed that Horobi can be brought back to his original nature and tried her best to convince him and prove it. Her trust in Aruto's belief and Humagears ultimately led her to be destroyed at the hands of Horobi, who, during his invasion, refused to listen to anything she said, although in the end if he manages to change.

Enemies
- As: Is and As are polar opposites. While Is is loyal to Aruto and remains connected to There, As acts as the messenger of the Ark and has a more cunning personality. They only met once within a simulation created by the Ark, and As manages to trick Is into believing that Horobi would become the Ark itself. This lead to a series of events that eventually resulted in Is's death, and Aruto becoming the Ark rather than Horobi.
Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
Is is portrayed by Noa Tsurushima (鶴嶋 乃愛, Tsurushima Noa), who also portrays her evil counterpart As. Her suit actor as Kamen Rider Zero-Two is Satoshi Fujita (藤田 慧, Fujita Satoshi)[7].
Etymology
Is's name is wordplay on the English verb "is".[8]
Notes
- In the opening of the series, an "Is with longer hair" appears with blue liquid resembling blood oozing out of her palm and red eyes reminiscent of a Humagear being hacked. This character would later be unfolded as her evil counterpart As.
- Writer Yuya Takahashi stated this was inserted in by director Teruaki Sugihara as Takahashi himself had yet to conceptualize As then.
