History[]
Global Freeze[]
030 was among many Roidmudes who were destroyed by Kamen Rider Protodrive and the Shift Cars during the Global Freeze, foiling the Roidmudes' invasion. However, due to the resistance not yet having the power to destroy the Roidmude's Cores, he survived and was restored by Medic, with his negative emotions diluting her newly-found unconditional love. [Where is the Truth About the Goddess?]
As Voice[]
Some time later, 030 evolved into the Voice Roidmude. After witnessing Kisaburo planning to use sound manipulations for his matchmaking services, he took on the form of Shu, disposing of him and later took Kisaburo's form, but retained him as his assistant. Using his ability to manipulate sound, Voice lured multiple women and posed himself as their ideal man to rob their money from their loan and bank accounts. Since his activity didn't render any Heavy Acceleration particles, police forces assumed this as a normal fraud cases until an abnormal situation where his victims' hearings becomes sensitive. [Who Will Control Deadheat?]
After one month of operating in silence, the Special Investigation Unit took the case to investigate. Shinnosuke, Kiriko and Go infiltrate his base of operation as guests. While Voice tried to target Kiriko, he accidentally got his cover blown when the man Kiriko saw in his illusion is Chase (whom is feared by other Roidmudes). Go/Mach fought him easily until his subordinates Roidmude 046 and 085 came along for Drive to assist Mach. As Mach about to deliver a finishing blow on Voice, the Dead Zoned-Heart saved him and dueled Mach. Drive forcefully used Type Dead Heat and defeated Heart, 085 and 046. Voice quickly escaped but was heavily injured as he used his voice again on Rinna, assuming Kisaburo based on his memory of the man. [Why is Rinna Sawagami Nervous?]
After luring Rinna to the real Kisaburo's lab, she trapped Voice but Kisaburo revealed his treachery until Shinnosuke, Kiriko and the Shift Cars turn the tables. He summoned 064 and 095 to aid him, as well as his mind controlled female victims with bombs armed on them, but Deadheat Mach quickly disposed all of his henchmen including himself and their Cores. All victims returned to normal with Drive Type Technic disarming the bombs. [Who Will Control Deadheat?]
Post-mortem[]
In a plot to ensure the death of Eisuke Tomari remains a secret, Mitsuhide Nira and Sou Noumi/Brain held a conference where they falsely accused Kamen Rider Drive for trying to takeover the leadership of the Roidmudes while the Special Investigation Unit were framed using their relations to past Roidmudes, among them were Rinna's relation to Voice. [Why Did the Siege Happen?] This was overseen by Kiriko, who stated that the conference
The 108 Roidmudes' fragmented data would lead to the emergence of the amalgamation Roidmude 5886. [Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Heart]
Personality[]
030/Voice seemed calculative in his operation, using sound-based abilities without inducing Heavy Accelerations.
Forms[]
The Core is the basic essence or 'soul' of the Roidmude. 030's Core survived his first destruction during the Global Freeze, [Where is the Truth About the Goddess?] only to later be destroyed along with his Advanced body by Kamen Rider Deadheat Mach's Heat Kick Macher. [Who Will Control Deadheat?]

- Hypnotic Sound
- He can send a sound wave that made female victims under his control and see him as their ideal men. There are also side effects where the victims would be comatose sometime later and their hearing would become sensitive to metal clattering to the point of insanity.

His hypnotic effects also lasted longer, as he used his previous victims as his servants.

Human Disguises[]
Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Voice Roidmude is played and voiced by Hiroshi Matsunaga (松永 博史, Matsunaga Hiroshi) (as Shu Amagi) and Yoshihiko Narimatsu (成松 慶彦, Narimatsu Yoshihiko) (as Kisaburo Sasamoto).
Voice Roidmude's suit actor is Daisuke Sato (佐藤 太輔, Satō Daisuke).
Concept Art[]
Voice Roidmude was designed by Takayuki Takeya (竹谷 隆之, Takeya Takayuki).
Notes[]
- He is the first (and thus far only) Roidmude to have two "main" human disguises.
- While the Iron Roidmude has shown to have multiple disguises by mix and matching from people, he is still counted as only having one main disguise.
- Voice's ability to lure in women by mimicking the voice of their dream man is similar to the myth of the crocotta who lured in victims by mimicking the voices of a friend or relative in order to eat them.
- The Voice Roidmude's costume would be modified to create the Thief Roidmude.
