Takeshi Goutokuji (豪徳寺 武, Gōtokuji Takeshi) was a firefighter who participated in the Desire Grand Prix's First Onscreen Game as Kamen Rider Shirowe (仮面ライダーシロー, Kamen Raidā Shirō).
History
Background
Takeshi Goutokuji was a firefighter selected for the First Onscreen Desire Grand Prix. He had played the game that was held half a year, and survived until the last mission alongside Ace Ukiyo and Michinaga Azuma.
Daybreak Arc
Shirowe protects Keiwa and Neon.
Takeshi was seen alongside Ace and Michinaga in the Desire Temple as Tsumuri explains their mission in the final round. He transforms into Shirowe and is deployed to the city alongside Buffa. Takeshi saves Keiwa Sakurai and Neon Kurama from a group of Wasou Jyamato and takes them to a building rooftop for safety. After disengaging his transformation, Takeshi tells the two that he was a firefighter.
Takeshi realizes the Slug Fortress Jyamato is approaching.

However, the atmosphere turned tense when Michinaga arrives to accuse Takeshi for saving Keiwa and Neon to score extra points. Suddenly, the Slug Fortress Jyamato appears to the city and suddenly attacks the group. Takeshi immediately transforms again and braces himself, but is fatally knocks against a wall. In the impact, his Rider Core ID shattered, thus eliminating him from the game. His corpse was then used as nourishment for the tree that grows the Jyamato.

Rook Jyamato assumes the form of Takeshi Goutokuji.
While Takeshi died before the start of the next game, his Rider Core ID was later collected by Archimedel and fed to premature Jyamato. When Archimedel crafted another Rook Jyamato, it started to utter a line similar to what Takeshi previously uttered. When Michinaga Azuma arrived at Archimedel's garden, he witnessed the Rook Jyamato assuming a form similar to Takeshi, shocking him. When Keiwa sees a Jyamato transform back into Takeshi, he assumes that Takeshi himself was transformed into it, however other Jyamato are shown transforming into additional Takeshi lookalikes.
When Keiwa Sakurai wishes to revive everyone killed in the DGP, it is assumed that the original Takeshi was revived, however his whereabouts were never shown.[Genesis III: The Jet-Black Shogun] Regardless, Keiwa's wish was soon undone.[Genesis VII: Where Wishes Go]
Personality
As his job as a firefighter, Takeshi is a hot-blooded man with a strong sense of justice, and even in the midst of a battle, he tells Keiwa and Neon that he will prioritize rescuing people involved in the Desire Grand Prix. While Michinaga accused him for doing so to receiving more points, he hadn't denied his words.

Entry Form (エントリーフォーム, Entorī Fōmu), also known as Entry Raise Form (エントリーレイズフォーム, Entorī Reizu Fōmu), is Shirowe's base suit, accessed through the sole usage of the Shirowe Core ID.
Entry Form consists of the following parts:
- Shirowe Head (シローヘッド, Shirō Heddo): The head.
- Shirowe Crest Gear (シロークレストギア, Shirō Kuresuto Gia): Shirowe's head-mounted device. It expands the player's head functions and protects the head with lightweight yet extremely strong composite armor. With a shape that symbolizes the Rider's crest on the ID Core, it also functions as a visual aid to increase Shirowe's visibility.
- Shirowe Ear (シローイヤー, Shirō Iyā): Shirowe's ears. The large ears enable long-distance communication.
- Shirowe Eye (シローアイ, Shirō Ai): Shirowe's compound eyes. The visual information obtained here is transmitted via an internal display, protecting the player's eyes from intense light such as explosions that suddenly occur during a game. In addition, Shirowe has relatively large visual equipment, allowing him to see from different left and right perspectives at the same time.
- Audit Signal (オーディットシグナル, Ōditto Shigunaru): Shirowe's inspection device. By constantly monitoring the Kamen Rider's condition, it diagnoses the continuity of transformation based on operating efficiency, damage, etc., and cancels the transformation if necessary.
- Blank Crusher (ブランククラッシャー, Buranku Kurasshā): Shirowe's mouth section. The voice chat function enables clear conversations even with loud noise, allowing communication between Kamen Riders during cooperative play, etc.
- Desire Basic (デザイアベーシック, Dezaia Bēshikku): The suit-type gaming device. Using energy supplied from the Desire Driver, it raises the output of the player's physical abilities.
- Progressive Arm (プログレッシブアーム, Puroguresshibu Āmu): Entry Form's arms. They produce enough power to defeat the Jyamato by increasing the player's arm strength. Furthermore, various functions can be added by attaching expansion equipment.
- Entry Glove (エントリーグローブ, Entorī Gurōbu): Entry Form's gloves. They can be configured for high sensitivity to perform more delicate work than can be done with bare hands. They can also be customized with the features of various Raise Buckles.
- Progressive Leg (プログレッシブレッグ, Puroguresshibu Reggu): Entry Form's legs. They increase the player's leg strength to raise the game's survival rate. Furthermore, various functions can be added by attaching expansion equipment.
- Entry Boots (エントリーブーツ, Entorī Būtsu): Entry Form's boots. They boast excellent jumping power and running performance on the game field. They can also be customized with the features of various Raise Buckles.
