Kit Taylor (Neo Universe)

Kit Taylor is a young adult who lost his father during childhood. Since then, he has been framed for many "misunderstandings" and has gained a reputation as a thief. He was placed in a foster home until he turned 18.

He mysteriously finds an Advent Deck in his apartment, giving him the ability to cross between worlds and transform into Kamen Rider Dragon Knight

Dragon Knight
After turning 18, he makes his way to the apartment he spent his childhood in and found an Advent Deck that opened his senses to the presence of the monsters abducting people. He gains the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Dragon Knight armed with the Dragon Advent Deck that he obtained. He would later meet Len (Kamen Rider Wing Knight), with whom he agreed to help fight Xaviax's monsters in the hopes of finding his father.

He did so after failing to heed Len's advice about re-establishing the Contract with the Advent Beast associated with the Deck, Dragreder, by activating the Contract Card in the Deck and fully reactivating his Dragon Knight armor powers. He nearly got duped into helping Drew (Kamen Rider Torque) before his true motive is revealed. After discovering the truth about the Advent Decks, Len believes that Xaviax probably played a part in helping Kit find the Advent Deck but Kit believes that he was guided here by his father and it was by his own will that he became Dragon Knight.

After fighting for a long time, becoming more experienced and even becoming a threat to Xaviax, Len decides that Kit should replace Adam and become a true Rider and not just an Earth substitute. However, the process will involve leaving Earth behind for good. Though honored, Kit decides to wait to answer until he feels he's thought it through enough. Later, when Kit confronts Axe for the first time, he tries to vent Axe, but can't find it in himself to do so. This would immediately haunt him as Axe holds him back, not allowing him to stop JTC from venting Chris.

He is later confronted by the Cho brothers who intimidate and defeat him easily, but don't vent him. After receiving a message from JTC about his father, Kit and Maya both go to him only to run into a trap consisting of JTC and the Cho brothers. Kit successfully repels them and is able to vent Albert, leaving Danny furious. He begins to feel remorse for venting Albert, as he had purposely never vented anyone before that point. Following Albert's venting and Kase's return, he begins to feel useless, due to losing to both Danny and Kase and hearing his dad saying that he disapproves of Kit's actions.

He is then attacked and pushed through a mirror by a mysterious Kamen Rider with the same armor as Dragon Knight but black. However he wakes up discovering that the fight with the mysterious Rider was but a dream. He is then approached by Michelle Walsh who identifies him upon Kit evading her and getting to the bookstore, he, Maya, and Trent discover the information was downloaded. Following this incident he goes off to fight attacking monsters to discover Len and Kase taking them out quickly. He leaves angrily with Kase noting the similarities between him and Adam (stating that it was his attitude was how it started before betraying the others) but Len believes otherwise. Going off to visit his father again he finds Xaviax waking up his father but only for a short time.

Kit discovers that everything that has happened to him thus far was because of Xaviax and that he was manipulating his father. Xaviax gives him a very simple offer, vent Wing Knight and Siren to bring his father back. Afterwards he has another nightmare this time becoming the black Rider and venting Wing Knight and fighting Siren before waking up. While reflecting he is once again confronted by Danny. When Danny got the upper hand, he sees JTC vent him and hinting towards Kit's conversation with Xaviax. He talks about this to Len and Kase and decides to go against Xaviax saying that saving his father through those means is wrong and is ready to become a real Kamen Rider.

When going to inform his father of his future course of actions, he is kidnapped and arrested by the No-Men. They trick him into battle against a mirror monster to test his skills as a Kamen Rider. Michelle Walsh later interrogates him until he craftily escapes using a reflection from a spilled glass of water. He finds a Mirror Monster on the way out and manages to defeat it, but ends up attacked by Kamen Riders Strike and Wrath. He injures his leg in the fight, but Len and Kase save him in time and manage to escape. They later regroup in the bookstore, where Kase heals his injured leg. While regrouping, Kase shows Kit his Survive card as they engage Strike and Wrath once again. Kit, who was fighting JTC and is about to get vented, is saved by Len. They both witness JTC capture Metalgelas and Evildiver and unite them into Genosider.

Overpowered by Wrath and Strike, they fail to save Kase from being vented. Both wanting revenge for her, they go after JTC, with Kit finding him first. After surviving his Final Vent, he watches Len use his Survive Mode, venting Strike in the process. Len and Kit chase after Wrath both using their Survive Modes. When Len is cornered, Kit readies his Final Vent, but after using too much energy, Survive Mode deactivates at an inopportune moment. In a final desperate attack to save Len, Kit uses his normal Final Vent only to miss and get hit with Wrath's Final Vent. He ends up being vented by Wrath, making him the tenth Rider vented in the series. Xaviax steals the Dragon Knight deck and claims that he has a surprise waiting for Len and gives the Dragon Knight deck to the original owner, Adam. When Eubulon is revived, Kit is rescued from the Advent Void.

Waking up from the Advent Void, he finds Kase and Eubulon, who is weakened from traveling through the Advent Void, and is given the Onyx deck. He was initially put off due to his dream but Kase and Eubulon reassure him that those were only nightmares. Taking the deck he finds Len and assists him in taking out some of Xaviax's monsters and reunites with him and meets some of the Ventaran Riders, initially put off due to his experience with their Earth counterparts. He soon goes off to save Maya when Eubulon senses that she's in danger. He meets up with Adam but is not easily swayed by his wanting to return to the Riders. They argue about how their situation with Xaviax is worse in which both mirror twins activate their Rider forms and fight. Kit overpowers Adam and is about to vent him until Eubulon stops the fight not wanting Kit's nightmare to turn into reality, venting someone out of anger. He returns with Maya with Eubulon and Adam following.

Interestingly enough, so far he's the only Kamen Rider who had to find his Advent Beast (or more specifically have his Advent Beast, Dragreder, find him) as opposed to the other Kamen Riders who were all given their Advent Decks with their respective Advent Beast already in place and contracted to them (the exceptions are Len and Kase who were some of the original Kamen Riders and the only Riders not separated from their respective Advent Deck and Advent Beast in the battle on Ventara).

Unlike the other Riders who were simple to manipulate by just giving them a simple desire, Kit had no real vice or ambition meaning that just simply giving him something was not enough. Xaviax had to take a more precise and lengthy process to acquire him. Xaviax kidnaps his father and then begins to frame Kit for his misunderstandings. However, he didn't join Xaviax and becomes a Rider opposing Xaviax. Eventually Xaviax approaches Kit and reveals everything to him using his love for his father to betray Wing Knight, the one who trusts Kit the most. However, after everything he's been through, Kit realizes that saving him that way would be wrong and decides to continue fighting against Xaviax.

Hero Wars: Riders vs. Rangers
Doctor X resurrected and gathered all defeated Rider villains, creating a group known as Shocker. He told Kit that the Riders and monsters needed to destroy the Power Rangers to ensure the survival of the Riders, and, answering that, Kit took control of Shocker, becoming its Great Leader to battle the Power Ranger and also the Armada, a new union of Power Ranger villains led by the High Seas Ranger's Captain Marvelous. As the Great Leader of Shocker, Kit apparently destroyed many Power Ranger teams, apparently leaving only High Seas Red (and the second High Seas Silver) alive, while Dragon Knight himself was seemingly the last remaining Rider. After he was wounded in his battle against High Seas Red, Doctor X used the opportunity to overthrow him and take control of the organization. The story about Riders needing to destroy Rangers to survive was a lie, and Doctor X was actually allied with the Armada and using both High Seas Red and Dragon Knight to destroy the other heroes and afterwards destroy the nominal leaders of the two organizations.

However, Kit and Marvelous already realized that trap from the beginning before the war starts. The destruction of the Power Rangers was actually just an act and the truth was, all the Rangers and Riders were just sent into a special spot in the Advent Void. Kit turned against Shocker and the Armada, supported by all other Riders and Rangers. Alongside the High Seas Rangers, he destroyed General Shadow. In the end, he faced Doctor X, the man behind Shocker, and defeated him with the help of the Power Rangers team the, and Kamen Riders Thrust and Sting. However, after being defeated, Doctor X was revealed to be Dragon Knight's old enemy, Xaviax, who escaped afterwards, and his real identity was left a mystery. After the battle, Kit reconciles with Drew Lansing accepting his friendship before the latter takes his leave.

Hero Wars II
, alongside Kamen Rider Beast and Yellow Buster invaded the fortress of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou on Earth. However, inside, they're overrun by the forces of Space Shocker, which had allied itself with Madou. Gavan was separated from the others and trapped by Shocker's forces, when Kamen Rider Kamen Rider Fourze arrived, answering the call for help of Gokai Silver, who asked for reinforcements to help in the attack. Fourze brought with him more allies, including Meteor, Super-1, the Super Sentai teams, and Decade himself to confront Space Shocker. Decade briefly fights against Tortoise Undead and afterwards pierces through a Pteranodon Yummy.

Afterwards, Decade presumably stays fighting against the other reinforcements brought by Space Ikadevil, while Fourze is thrown out of the area. Space Ikadevil himself is finished by the Super Sentai team Gokaiger, while Gavan and Meteor leave to fight against Space Shocker's and Madou's leaders. After the battle is over, Decade appears on top of a nearby cliff alongside the other heroes who appeared to help to say goodbye to Gavan and the others.

Rider Wars
Kit managed to find Dylan in Drupers, telling the young Rider that he somehow knew Shu before Eubulon appears to them. He warns the Riders about the Alliance's plan and the situation between the Riders from both eras, having Dylan become curious about it. Kit would plan to gather the Kamen and Neo Riders as Andrew Gordon decides to join him. He takes Drew to Windy City, meeting up with Sam at the Windy City Detective Agency as he offers the young Rider to help the detective on his case. Later, Kit approaches James Trademore, asking him to join the battle against the Alliance. James refused until he was attacked by the Alliance's monsters. He arrived to fight them until Feudal Rider Emperor appears to attack him before Dragon Knight retreats. Meeting up with Sam in Windy City, Kit asks the detective to join the battle against the Alliance and Shu's origins, which Sam would inform him about the boy. Kit went to the lighthouse as he noticed that his mother, Saki looking at the picture with the note that Shu wrote as she blamed herself for his death. Dragon Knight arrived where Shu was and sent the boy to meet with his mother while Feudal Rider Orange distracts Emperor. However, they were attacked by another one of the Alliance's monsters until Masked Riders Amazon and Super-V finished them off. Thanking both Riders, however their next target would be the Kamen Riders as Sam arrived to distract both Riders. Once they reached the lighthouse, Shu was about to meet up with Saki, however Emperor appears to retrieve his son as Kit transformed to fight Emperor. Overpowered by Emperor, Orange arrives to fight him, but failed to save the boy. Dylan was furious about Kit not knowing Shu's feelings. Kit would gather the remaining Kamen Riders as Dylan and James would join him. Once the remaining Riders arrive, both sides attack as Dragon Knight and Masked Rider Warrior 2 were defeated by each other. However all the Riders were freed thanks to Orange as they started to battle the Alliance. Dragon Knight freed Shu from the machine as the ship was destroyed by Power Rider, Strike, and Masked Rider X. After battling the Alliance, Dex stated that their battle wasn't over as the Rider War continues. However the Masked Riders admit their defeat after seeing Orange protecting a flower as they would congratulate the young Riders. Sometimes later, Kit visits the lighthouse and looked at the photo of Shu.

Forms
