Character

21 years old. Transformers into the Masked Rider System #1, Kabuto. Based on his name, he declares himself the greatest man in the world. While he looks down on others, he saves the weak and has a strong sense of justice. The promotional posters for Kabuto had Kabuto on the cover with the catchphrase "I am justice" on the bottom.

His only family is a little named Tendou Juka. Both of them were raised by their grandmother when their parents died. It turns out that they don't share the same parents. Apparently his grandmother left a great impression on Tendou, as he often quotes her sayings as well as practicing her teachings.
