Characters

Kamen Rider Club

A club that protects Amanogawa High School from the Zodiarts monsters.

Other Characters

Horoscopes

Led by the red-eyed man, they are the organization that the Kamen Rider Club fights against. When talking about the Horoscopes, it mainly refers to the commanders known as the Twelve Zodiac Apostles. Individual Zodiarts usually act on their own and aren't really a part of the Horoscopes until they've evolved into one of the twelve Zodiac constellations.

Twelve Zodiac Apostles

Zodiarts

The monsters that plague Ama High. These are basically the equivalent to the monster of the week. They're actually just students and people related to the school who have been transformed by Astro Switches.
The name comes from Zodiac and Arts, which is funny since this would be a better name for the commanders who are actually based on the Zodiac.

Kamen Rider Fourze Discography

Trivia

  • Fourze in katakana フォーゼ is the last part of the Japanese spelling for "metamorphose" メタモルフォーゼ. Fourze's different forms are called States, like states of a metamorphosis. The four references Fourze's ability to change modules for his four appendages. The number 4 also continues the numerical trend for henshin sequences; Decade uses one card, W uses two GaiaMemory, OOO uses three medals, Fourze uses four Switches. Further, Fourze started on the Kamen Rider 40th anniversary year.
  • The episode titles in Fourze have four kanji which refers to the Four in Fourze.
