仮面ライダーW Kamen Rider Double

September 6, 2009 - August 29, 2010. (49 episodes)

Characters

Narumi Detective Agency

Hidari Shoutarou 左翔太郎 / Kamen Rider W - Kiriyama Renn 桐山漣

A half-boiled detective with delusions of being hard-boiled. Becomes the left side of Kamen Rider W. Grew up an orphan in Fuuto, which is probably why he sees Narumi Soukichi as a father figure. He addresses him as "Boss". He runs the Narumi Detective Agency in Soukichi's absence.

Family name means "left" and his given name comes from the creator of Kamen Rider's name, Ishinomori Shoutarou.

Philip フィリップ / Kamen Rider W - Suda Masaki 菅田将暉

A boy with the Planetary Bookshelves in his mind. At the start of the series, he is a bit detached from the world. Apparently his outfit is in the style of modern Fuuto wear, but no one else is seen wearing his style of clothing.

Named after Philip Marlowe, the detective protagonist of "The Long Goodbye". Becomes the right side of W.

Narumi Akiko 鳴海 亜樹子 - Yamamoto Hikaru 山本ひかる

The daughter of Narumi Soukichi, the former owner of the Narumi Detective Agency. She considers herself to be the boss of the agency, and often bosses around Shoutarou. She also refers to him as, "half-boiled". Her catchphrase is, "Nobody told me about this!". She often carries around a slipper with kanji on it that she hits people with, referring to her origins growing up in Osaka. Osaka is known for their comedians.

People of Fuuto

Note, when it appears on signs in English, the city's name is spelled Futo.

Watcherman ウォッチャマン - Nasubi なすび

One of Shoutarou's informants.

Santa-chan サンタちゃん - Fukkin Zennosuke 腹筋善之介

Another of Shoutarou's informants.

Queen クイーン - Itano Tomomi 板野友美（AKB48）

With Elizabeth, they know everything that goes on with the youths of Fuuto.

Elizabeth エリザベス - Kasai Tomomi 河西智美（AKB48）

Along with Queen, they keep a pulse on all the gossip going around. Their combined names are a reference to Queen Elizabeth.
