List of Kamen Rider 555 Characters - Masato Kusaka

Masato Kusaka

Masato Kusaka (草加 雅人, Kusaka Masato?) is a member of Ryusei School who was apparently absent from the reunion, but signed the autograph card. He is the only Ryuseiji who was capable of wearing the Kaixa Gear without disintegrating afterwards and as such is the Gear's primary wearer as Kamen Rider Kaixa (仮面ライダーカイザ, Kamen Raidā Kaiza?). Mari often saved him from bullies in his youth and as a result he has fallen in love with her and is willing to go to elaborate lengths to eliminate any obstacles between him and her. He also vehemently deplores Orphnochs, regardless of whether they "have souls" or not and swears to destroy them all. His hatred was driven by the events that took place at the Ryusei School reunion and he continually wipes his hands to remove the imagined blood he remembers from that night. As a Kamen Rider, he had a habit of tugging on his armor as if to loosen his collar. Masato Kusaka is the only character to have worn all three of the Kamen Rider belts (Faiz, Kaixa and Delta). The Kaixa Gear is his primary belt. He wore the Faiz Gear to trick Kiba. He wore the Delta Gear to battle the Beetle Orphnochs (Rhinoceros and Stag). He was killed by Yuji Kiba in the series, while in the Paradise Lost movie he was killed by Kamen Rider Psyga.

Masato Kusaka is portrayed by Kohei Murakami (村上 幸平, Murakami Kōhei?).
