Hiro Takeshi

"Of all the luck.....I never signed up for this!"

- Takeshi on his position in the Grand Tournament

Hiro Takeshi is a supporting character in Masked Rider Complete. Originally a rich narcissist using his parent's wealth to breeze past responsibility, he is forced into the Tournament when his parents sign him up to teach him humility. He is the first Rider to be disqualified from the Tournament.

Personality
Hiro is the definition of narcissism. Obsessed with maintaining his looks and finding people to sing his praises, Hiro goes out of his way to find attention. However, when trouble finds him instead, he is quick to relent and will look for ways to escape his problems.

Once forced to fight, Hiro is revealed to be remarkably capable for someone with little battle talent; and seems very adept at focusing on small details. Upon disqualification, Hiro has become a changed man; and seems interested in planning for his future.

Trivia

 * The Arms wielded by Comic's Japanese counterpart Riderman aren't present for the adaption. Instead, a few of them are given to Kamen Rider Gadget, which seemed more befitting.


 * Comic's energy displacement effect is achieved using a color-filter.


 * As Riderman is a Rider without a helmet, Kamen Rider Comic was given a Japanese ancestry to ease the transition into and out of stock footage.
