Personality

Momotaros has the personality of a gang boss. He likes to fight and does not care who his opponent is, which is why he has no problem fighting against his fellow Imagins as Den-O and ignore the Imagins' original mission. He despite Ryoutarou at first, complaining about Ryoutarou's physical weakness and Ryoutarou's terrible sense that created the name "Momotaros" and the image of his body. He'd possess and use Ryoutarou's body without Ryoutarou's permission. Until one time Ryoutarou got mad, and refused to summon Momotaros even when fighting with an Imagin. Ryoutarou was unable to fight effectively in Plat Form and almost got himself killed, but insisted not to summon Momotaros to turn into Sword Form until Momotaros apologized and promised to never possess his body again without permission. Momotaros developed new respect for Ryoutarou after this incident. He and Ryoutarou developes a strong bond over the course of the series, and is the only one able to get to Ryoutarou when Ryoutarou refuses to fight with his four Imagins anymore.

He opposes other Imagins joining Den-O, and often bicker with the newcomers over almost everything. However, like most gang leaders he does look after his comrades. When Den-O Gun Form was beaten, he showed concern for the wounded Ryoutarou and Ryuutaros, and was ready to repay the Imagin who did it. He was also obviously upset when Urataros, Kintaros and Ryuutaros disappeared due to the events happened in the movie, and was overjoyed when they returned (though he didn't show in front of the others).

He rarely addresses other Imagins by name.

He addresses Urataros as Turtle (亀 Kame).
He addresses Kintaros as Bear (熊 Kuma).
He addresses Ryuutaros as Snot-nosed brat (ハナタレ小僧 Hanatare Kozō). Though he also calls him Ryuuta (リュウタ) sometimes.
He addresses Deneb as Odebu (おデブ), which means fatty.
He addresses Seig as Bird Bastard (鳥野郎 Tori Yarō) or Chicken Wings (手羽野郎 Teba Yarō)
He addresses Teddy as Tendon (テンドン), which means a bowl of rice and fried fish.

For enemy Imagins, he calls them "Animal-Name Bastard", depending on the the animal motif that the Imagins are based on.
