This article is about a Rider in Kamen Rider Zi-O. |
In 2003, Takumi Inui (乾 巧, Inui Takumi) was Kamen Rider Faiz (仮面ライダーファイズ, Kamen Raidā Faizu, Masked Rider Faiz), until the creation of Another Faiz erased the Rider's history as well as undoing his death.
History[]
Another Faiz[]
In the altered 2004, Takumi's timeline was shown to have been altered during his second transformation into Faiz, just when he was about to defeat the Elephant Orphnoch. Later, this version of Takumi received a blank Ridewatch from Sougo offscreen. Evidently though, Takumi still remains an employee at the Kikuchi's dry cleaning store, having encountered Masato Kusaka at some point.
In this new timeline, Takumi first appeared to stop Masato from killing Karin Yamabuki. Frustrated with Takumi's actions, Masato tells him not to interfere, leaving the scene afterwards. [Switch On! 2011]
Asked by Tsukuyomi to come to Sougo's home, Takumi introduced himself to the others as a laundry delivery order employee, showing his officer card to them. During their discussion, Takumi looked at the Ridewatches which had been obtained by Sougo and the others.
The next day, Takumi rescued Masato from Another Fourze, enduring the latter's attacks long enough for Sougo and Geiz to arrive. After Another Fourze escaped, Takumi gave Sougo the Faiz Ridewatch.
Personality[]
Compared to his teenage self, Takumi has significantly matured as an individual, being patient enough to endure Sougo's inane antics. Furthermore, he still retains his courage and kindness, acting genuinely concerned with the lives of others. Even when facing off against Masato, Takumi did not hesitate to rescue him from danger, begrudgingly admitting that Masato is an "ally".

Once transformation is completed, the Faiz Armor has several key features in its design to offer protection to the user. Like all Rider gears, the Faiz armor manifests when the Faiz Driver generates Photon Blood, a glowing substance generates the soft Sol Foam suit, Sol Metal armor, and Fullmetal Lung chest armor via traveling through the red Photon Streams that ends at the Photon Terminals at the gauntlet and Power Anklet greaves, the right Anklet having a Energy Holster that the Faiz Pointer can be connected to. The helmet is unique due to its Global Feeler antenna to link up to Smart Brain's networks and Ultimate Finder visor that gives Faiz incredible vision to see in darkness, giving the illusion of a glowing eye, and a limited amount of x-ray vision.
This form is exclusive to Zi-O Episode 6.
