"In the near future, our company will be faced with a grave threat. A great number of Humagears supplied by our company will be swayed by people of ill intent, and become a threat to humanity. There's only one countermeasure: the Zero-One Driver and its Progrisekeys. These are tools to allow Humagears to remain under human control, equipped with next-generation security systems. Only the company president is authorized to use them. Therefore, I hereby name my grandson Aruto Hiden as company president. It's my last wish that the company will stand united against this crisis. That is all."
― Korenosuke's will.[src]

Korenosuke Hiden (飛電 是之助, Hiden Korenosuke) was the founder and first CEO of Hiden Intelligence. After passing away from unknown causes, he left his company to his grandson, Aruto Hiden.

History[]

Background[]

Korenosuke Hiden was the creator of the Humagears and founder of Hiden Intelligence. He initially created the Humagear for hospitality services, but proved to be useful for multiple occupations. Gai Amatsu, CEO of ZAIA Enterprise Japan, idolized him for his work in the A.I. development. Following the death of his son, Soreo Hiden, he commissioned a Humagear resembling his late son to provide emotional support to his then-orphaned grandson Aruto. After development of the Humagears proved to be successful, Hiden Intelligence worked alongside several other companies to create Ark to help maintain the Humagears within Daybreak Town.

However, he would grow wary of the Humagear after noticing his secretary Will developing a human-like nature. Although angered by this, his emotions turned into fear after discovering Kamen Riders' blueprints using the Ark's technology. Despite fearing for the worst upon learning Ark had gone rogue, the Humagear Soreo activated a program to cause the satellite to self-destruct before it could launch to space. However, this did not stop the Ark's influence as it ended up causing a factory accident that killed the Humagear Soreo and left his grandson traumatized by the ordeal.

During the next twelve years of his life, Korenosuke continued advancing the prospect of the Humagears. He began to cherish his creations more and grown to believe they are more than just tools. Korenosuke placed his faith on the Humagear Soreo's Kamen Rider project and passing it on to Aruto in hopes of continuing the Hiden legacy.

Death and Legacy[]

Korenosuke Hiden passed away in September 2019 from natural causes and Aruto remains as his sole descendant. When the Hiden Intelligence board members read his will, Korenosuke revealed the an imminent crisis involving the Humagears and the only way to combat against them is the Hiden Zero-One Driver used exclusively by Aruto as the succeeding president of Hiden Intelligence. Aruto chose to continue his grandfather's legacy as Kamen Rider Zero-One to protect humanity and Humagear alike.

Korenosuke also kept digital messages that would help Aruto and Izu when the time came. In one of those messages, they discovered a clause by Korenosuke that declared that Humagears are not meant to be used as mere tools. Another of his messages was discovered in Was Nazotoku's data meant for Izu, after he sacrificing himself to finalize the Shining Hopper Progrisekey.

After Aruto lost his position as Hiden Intelligence's president, the true meaning of Korenosuke's will is revealed. He transfered the rights of the Humagears, There and the Zero-One system to Aruto himself, not the company. This effectively foiled Gai's plans of taking over Hiden Intelligence. These rights were later transferred by Izu to Aruto's new company, HIDEN Manufacturing, before Aruto was reappointed president of Hiden Intelligence once more.

Personality[]

Korenosuke was open-minded, perceptive, and very caring towards his company, his acquaintances, his family, the Humagears, and the entirety of society. As revealed in Reiwa The First Generation, Korenosuke had a great amount of compassion for Humagears, but he had concerns about Will when he started behaving more and more human. Korenosuke was at first angered at Will and Soreo due to the fact that their personalities became too human, initially believing that Singularity was an effect from being influenced by the Ark. However, he was shown to be even frightened when he found out that they created the Kamen Rider project, specifically after finding the blueprints of Ichi-Gata.

Sometime after the Daybreak Town Accident, Korenosuke was able to cherish Humagears more, even after they achieved Singularity. This is shown when Korenosuke told Was Nazotoku to take care of Is and declared her to be Wazu's younger sister. Although he initially disproved of the Kamen Rider project, he would entrust Soreo's finalized creation, along with the Humagears, to his grandson Aruto, in hopes of continuing his legacy.

Korenosuke's perceptiveness could be seen even after his death. This was shown in his will, which showed that he was aware of an increasing threat that could jeopardize the Humagears. He also made sure that to counter this threat, all Humagear technology, and their patent rights, as well as the Zero-One technology were not Hiden Intelligence property, but his alone - property that he made sure to allow Aruto to inherit completely after his death. This is a clear indication that Korenosuke was aware of Gai's threat towards his company and the Humagears.
