The Owner (オーナー, Ōnā) of the Den-Liner is Hana's contractor, with a habit of speaking in complex riddles when it comes to the nature of time. He states that only those with a "Rider Pass", or at the very least, a ticket, are able to ride the DenLiner and, with it, transcend time itself. Also, as the DenLiner's owner, he cannot stand fighting in his train and any who would dare alter the flow of time.
For either category, Owner possesses Passage Denial tickets, which are able to leave unwanted passengers stranded in the middle of time unless they have tickets. He has great knowledge of how time progresses and points out that sometimes the most minor of changes will not affect the future. He also happens to be a Singularity Point as he displays immunity against Ryutaros's ability to control people, even returning a similar tactic against Ryutaros himself. He is able to outrun the DenLiner and held a Master Pass until Gaoh took it from him.
Owner enjoys eating various dishes that have a flag placed in the middle of them. His aim is to eat his entire meal (usually rice or flan) without knocking the flags over so he can finally beat his rival, the Station Master (駅長, Ekichō). Though the two look identical, with the Station Master wearing in white uniform and having softer mannerisms, Owner explains that the resemblance is just everyone else's imagination. The Station Master recently gave Owner a set of strangely designed golden spoons, the legendary God Spoon collection. Knowing that it would be the last time before facing him again with the final battle against Kai about to begin, Owner finally beats the Station Master with the flag barely falling over.
In Climax Deka, Owner is robbed of the spare Rider Pass he had on him during his training, setting up the DenLiner Police with himself as Chief Inspector. He carries a spare DenGasher that he uses to calm people down by shooting his trademark flags, which act as tranquilizers.
Let's Go Kamen Riders
In OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders, Owner warns Eiji and Ankh about the dangers of Time Travel but was ignored by Ankh that leads to the great change in the timeline. When Ankh tried to make another attempt in using the DenLiner in gathering more medals, he was restrained by Owner himself and gave the job of guarding him to Momotaros. After the mission to infiltrate Shocker's hideout resulted to a failure, DenLiner was attacked and barely managed to escaped, Owner decided to return back to 2011 before it exploded, leaving Naoki and Teddy behind. Thought to have been caught in the explosion, Owner appeared later to announce to Shocker that as long as people remember the Riders, they would never be destroyed. As General Shadow escape from the Riders, Owner adds that Riders are not the only heroes around. After it was revealed that Naoki became a Shocker Scientist to undo the brainwashing of Kamen Riders #1 and #2, Owner states that Naoki has now became a part of the history of Kamen Riders.
Super Hero Taisen
Owner reacts to a cup of Den-Liner Pudding which has landed on his meal.
When the Den-Liner received four passengers, Daiki Kaito, Hina Izumi, and Gokaigers Joe Gibken and Don Dogoier, Owner told them that it could well be true that the Kamen Riders and Super Sentai may be unable to co-exist peacefully for the reason that if Kamen Riders had not lost their place (to be), there would be no place for Sentai. While sitting down to a new dish given to him by Naomi, the Taros were fighting over the returned cup of Den-Liner Purine pudding that Daiki had stolen from Momotaros during their last meeting. The brief scuffle ended when the pudding was accidently thrown into the air, landing on Owner's meal. Removing the cup itself, Owner proceeded to eat the pudding along with the meal, much to the Taros' dismay. [Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen]
