Kimura (木村) is a young man who became the new user of Kamen Rider Verde (仮面ライダーベルデ, Kamen Raidā Berude) in 2019.
History[]
Rider Time Ryuki[]
Advent Again[]
Kimura was one of the 13 people brought into the Mirror World by a mysterious woman to restart the Rider War. At some point, he teamed up with Miyuki Tezuka, Shinji Kido and Ishida.
4 days have passed since the beginning, and his team was shown in an abandoned house, preparing to fight Jun Shibaura's gang. As a huge battle broke out between the two sides, a horde of Mirror Monsters appeared forced all of them to retreat. Kimura would later have a talk with Shinji on his optimism on the situation despite the fact that they were trapped with seemingly no way out. He stated that he had to believe in the mysterious woman's words because she was their only hope at the time. When Tezuka came back after a meeting with Jun with a suggestion of cooperating with Jun, Kimura believed him and handed over his Card Deck as a sign of trust. The next day, Kimura and the team realized they were betrayed by Tezuka. As Jun, Ishihashi, Tozuka and Tezuka transformed, he had to witness Ishida's death by Evildiver. As he was being targeted by them, Ouja and Zolda appeared and killed Tozuka with his Final Vent.[Advent Again]
Another Alternative[]
He fled separately from Shinji as Shinji was dragged by Ren in desperate from Goro's End of the World finisher. The next day, he met the gravely injured Miyuki. As he prepared to attack him for payback, Miyuki fell and begged a favor as he returned Verde deck and the latter stained Ryuki deck so he was dragged to meet Shinji so he could give his apology. Kimura took him to meet Shinji, but it was too late as he had died. But before the body decayed, Kimura told Shinji of the apologize and also warned him that there was another Shinji. But right after the warn, Shinji became Dark Shinji and ran away. Kimura and Ren chased him, only to find him maliciously killed Jun as Ryuga. [Another Alternative]
Alive A Life[]
Afterwards, Dark Shinji faces Ren and Kimura, before choking Kimura and severely wounding him. Barely escaping, he is then found by three Buzzstinger monsters. Still suffering from his injuries, Kimura was not able to transform and is eaten by the Buzzstingers, perishing.
His fate was left unknown after the timeline reset caused by Sougo as Ohma Zi-O, but it is assumed that he is also revived alongside with the other Riders who died in the second Rider War.
Personality[]
Having been forced to participate in the second Rider War, Kimura was rather cynical at his given situation, pointing out to his allies that only one person would ultimately be allowed to leave the Mirror World, thus making their alliance temporary.
However, he is also shown to be a good-natured figure in general, forgiving Tezuka for his betrayal and choosing to give Shinji his Card Deck back without hesitation. Even when attacked by Shinji as Ryuga, Kimura continued to show concern for his friend, recognizing that something happened to him.

Kimura can transform into Kamen Rider Verde using his Card Deck and V Buckle upon forming a contract with Biogreeza. His Visor, the Biovisor (バイオバイザー, Baio Baizā), is mounted on his left thigh. All of Verde's parameters, with the exception of his kicking power, are below average. Thus, he relies on deception to defeat his opponents rather than direct confrontation.
Through the use of the Hold Vent, Verde can arm himself with the Biowinder (バイオワインダー, Baiowaindā), a yo-yo weapon derived from Biogreeza's eye.
