Nitou Kousuke

仁藤攻介

First appearance in the series: Kamen Rider Wizard 17.

A series regular on Kamen Rider Wizard. He plays the second Rider.

Catch phrases

His main saying is "A pinch is a chance". Matching with his happy-go-lucky lifestyle, he sees desperate situations as opportunities.

He also has a habit of interrupting people and saying "Say no more!"

Personality

Seems to have a positive personality. His catchphrase seems to be "A pinch is a chance." He also appears to take eating/meals really seriously (Perhaps since his human form is a sort of drifter/bum character).

Apparently really likes mayonnaise since he carries a bottle of it around with him. Will even put it on doughnuts.

Because of his obsession with mayonnaise, Haruto and Shunpei nickname him "Mayonnaise".

Background

Grew up in a rich family. Has a strict grandmother that he doesn't see eye-to-eye with. He decided to become an archaeologist because he found a fossil as a child and thought it was cool.

Kamen Rider Beast

仮面ライダービースト

Phantoms refer to Beast as the Primordial Mage (Inishie no Mahoutsukai)

Belt: Beast Driver. Activated with the Driver On Ring and Beast Ring.

When Beast inserts one of the mantle rings into the Dice Saber, it will roll the die on the saber. The number it stops on will summon that number of mantle animals at the opponent. Only Falco has been used so far.

Yells out "It's time to feed" at the start of battle.

When he defeats Ghuls and Phantoms, his belt can eat them to absorb their magical energies.

His various rings give him different mantles on the right side.

Beast's rings can used be by Wizard but he is not able to use Wizard's rings due to the shape of his rings.

Origin

Was investigating some ruins after college. He stumbled upon a hidden cave. Inside it, he found a slab with the Beast Ring in the middle. The slab turned into a belt. Upon removal, rocks fell from the cave ceiling which turned into Ghuls.

That is when he hears Khimaira's voice. Khimaira explains that by using the belt, they have become one. As a consequence, Khimaira must be fed magical energy, otherwise he drains Kousuke's life energy until he dies.

Wiseman explains that Beast Belt was sealed by the Phantoms and is forbidden.

Kamen Rider Beast Chameleo Mantle

Activated with the Chameleo Ring カメレオリング on the right side of the Beast Driver. The Belt goes "Chameleo. Go Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha Chameleo."

Allows Beast to remove poison from himself and other people.

Activated with the Falco Ring ファルコリング on the right side of the Beast Driver. The Belt goes "Falco. Go Fa-fa-fa Falco."

Allows Beast to fly in the air.

Finisher:

Kamen Rider Beast Buffa Mantle

Activated with the Buffa Ring バッファリング on the right side of the Beast Driver. While the other animals just lose the last "n" in their name, Buffalo loses the whole "lo" part. The Belt goes "Buffa. Go Bu-bu-bububu Buffa."

Khimaira

キマイラ

Voiced by Nishimura Tomomichi 西村知道

Appears to be a Phantom with the head of a lion, dolphin, falcon, buffalo, and the tail of a chameleon. He allows Kousuke to become the mage Beast, but must be constantly fed magical energy or Khimaira will feed upon Kousuke's life energy instead.

Khimaira is the Greek pronunciation of chimera.

Trivia

Kousuke carries around a bottle of mayonnaise that has a label that is constantly changing. From "Itadakimasu" to "my personal bottle" to "put mayonnaise on it!"
Khimaira is the Greek pronunciation of Chimera. So it's fitting that in his introduction episode, Beast fights Phantom Manticore, a mythical monster also combined from several animals. Khimaira also has the different other beasts on his body. He has a Falcon and Dolphin head next to his Lion head and a Chameleon tail. There's also an Buffalo head on Khimaira's chest. The sub beasts all have their n dropped in their mantle form except buffalo which becomes buffa.
Since Khimaira bonds with Kousuke to turn him into a mage, that means we don't see what's inside Kousuke. But this could just mean that Kousuke doesn't have enough magical energy to form a Phantom inside.
