In 2015, Takeru Tenkuji (天空寺 タケル, Tenkūji Takeru) was Kamen Rider Ghost (仮面ライダーゴースト, Kamen Raidā Gōsuto), until the creation of Another Ghost erased the Rider from history.

History

Kamen Rider Zi-O

Another Ghost

As a result of the Time Jackers' actions, Takeru loses his powers as a Kamen Rider but retains his spiritual abilities. Alongside members of the Mysterious Phenomenon Institute, they investigate the disappearances that Another Ghost has perpetrated for three years until Zi-O and Geiz gets involved.

With Sougo's spirit separated from his body, Takeru's Ridewatch allows him to perceive the youth before Narita uses Shiranui to render his spirit visible to mortals. Takeru takes Sougo's place physically to travel to 2015 in the Time Mazine with Sougo to prevent policeman Makimura from dying while saving his sister and being turned into Another Ghost when he succeeds. Sougo returns to his body, but as Takeru is attacked by Heure, he is rescued by Makoto, who reminds him that he is a Kamen Rider.

He temporarily regains his powers but fails to prevent Makimura from becoming Another Ghost, causing Sougo's soul to separate from his body again. Despite this, both Takeru and Makoto manage to power down their Rider forms immediately before Another Ghost's presence negates their transformation again.

Powers and Abilities

Takeru retains his ghostly abilities through the Ghost Ridewatch.

• Clairvoyance Mediumship: Takeru is able see spirits or Gamma nearby him when he holds the Ghost Ridewatch.
• Forcefield: Takeru can create a forcefield to push something away for a distance. ^{[Ghost Hunter 2018]}

Damashii

• Transient
• Ore

Transient

Transient (トランジェント, Toranjento) is the default pre-form armor of Kamen Rider Ghost. Like most pre-forms in the Kamen Rider Series, it is weaker than all of the other forms and exists solely as a transition stage of the armor to any given Damashii form.

It is composed of Quantum Solid (クァンタムソリッド, Ku~antamu Soriddo) and is covered with orange Energy Vessels (エナジーベッセル, Enajī Besseru) that emits light when dealing deathblows.

Ore Damashii

Ore Damashii

"Kaigan! Ore! Let's go! Kakugo! Go Go Go! Ghost! Go! Go! Go! Go!"

―Transformation announcement^[src]

• Height: 204 cm
• Weight: 96 kg

Ability Parameters:

• Punching power: 5.5 t
• Kicking power: 10 t
• Maximum jump height: 42 m
• Maximum running speed: 100 m per 5.8 seconds

Ore Damashii (オレ魂, Ore Damashī, lit. "My Soul") is Ghost's default orange form. Accessed through the Ore Ghost Eyecon, this form bears the (quickly discarded) Effector Hood (エフェクターフード, Efekutā Hūdo), the Persona Pantheon (ペルソナパンテオン, Perusona Panteon) helmet with the Face Pantheon (フェイスパンテオン, Feisu Panteon) faceplate.

After his revival back as a human, it is unknown how he is able to still transform into Ore Damashii, since the Eyecon bonded with his soul when he was a ghost.

This Damashii has three finishing attacks.

• Ghost Driver Finisher:
  • Omega Drive (Ore) (オメガドライブ オレ, Omega Doraibu (Ore)): A flying kick that uses spiritual energy which makes the body and mask of Ghost's form glow and envelops him in an orange flame.
    • In Episode 11, Ghost performs a variation of the Omega Drive (Ore) kick by first transforming into his normal Damashii forms (Musashi, Edison, Robin, Newton, Beethoven, Billy the Kid, Benkei) and then his Ore Damashii form and then channels his energy with the energy of his other Damashii forms into a powerful flying kick.
• Gan Gun Saber Finishers:
  • Omega Break (オメガブレイク, Omega Bureiku): In Blade Mode, Ghost charges the blade with swirling orange energy before he presses the trigger on its handle to cleave through the target.
  • Omega Stream (オメガストリーム, Omega Sutorīmu): In Naginata Mode, Ghost charges each weapon's bladed end with swirling blue energy before he presses the trigger on its handle to rapidly slash the target with both blades.
