The titular character of the show Kamen Rider Kabuto.

Tendou Souji - Played by Mizushima Hiro

Kabuto was the first system in the Masked Rider project that was started 35 years before the start of the series. The user catches the Kabuto Zecter and transforms by setting it on their Rider Belt.

It has two base forms. The heavier, more armored Masked form and the faster, more destructive Rider form.

Red Shoes System

A fail safe that is built into the Kabuto system. Just as the red shoes made the girl in the fable dance against her will, the Kabuto red shoes system would make the user kill all the Worms until there are none left.

Spoiler warning: Significant plot details follow.

This becomes a problem for Tendou, since he doesn't want the system activating and forcing him to kill his sister, who is a Worm.
