Kamen Rider Fourze is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in Toei Company's Kamen Rider Series, being the thirteenth series in the Heisei period run and the twenty-second overall. It began airing on September 4, 2011, the week following the conclusion of Kamen Rider OOO, joining Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, later Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, in the Super Hero Time lineup. Trademarks on the title were filed by Toei in April 2011. The series commemorates not only the Kamen Rider Series' 40th anniversary but also the 50th anniversary of spaceflight, which began with Yuri Gagarin's Vostok 1 flight in 1961. The show's catchphrase is "Switch on youth 'cause space is here!", referencing the Fourze Driver transformation belt which gets its various powers from devices called Astroswitches to conjure attachments to Fourze's limbs.
Characters:
Kisaragi Gentaro
Kisaragi Gentaro is a second year student in Amanogawa High School, who has a delinquent Yankee-like appearance wearing a short jacket over a T-shirt and baggy pants, with his hair in a pompadour, rather than the clean cut uniform worn by other AGHS students; but is actually really friendly and wants to make friends with people in the school. He is willing to go the extra mile and do bizarre things to get to know someone he wants to befriend better. He puts friendship above anything else and values every friend that he has, to the point of crying hard whenever he hears a sad story of someone he considers a friend. He also has a special handshake he does with his friends and is commonly used when Gentaro makes a new friend. The reason he does so is because he wants to see that person he befriends smile, which is the best feeling one could have. He is generally very earnest and very thick-skinned, as well as not being very perceptive and at times, can actually be very dense. He is also prone to say things other people have a hard time comprehending, due to his unique and bizarre view in things. These quirky qualities are seen by others around him to be both annoying shortcomings and unusual strengths.
Sakuta Ryusei
Sakuta Ryusei is a transfer student coming to Amanogawa High from Subaruboshi High School, who put a facade of being a friendly person; when he really kept everything to himself. After his mission is revealed, he drops the facade around the Kamen Rider Club. No Kamen Rider Club members, including Gentaro, knew that he was actually Kamen Rider Meteor, as he was under orders from Tachibana. After the incident with the Aries Zodiarts, the entire Kamen Rider Club, save possibly Ohsugi, know of his identity, and Tachibana tasks them with keeping his identity from the enemy.

Villains:
Horoscopes
The Horoscopes, alternatively called the Twelve Constellations of the Zodiac are Zodiarts that are completely evolved from their human selves, keeping their human bodies, unlike less-advanced Last One Zodiarts and are based on the constellations of the Western Astrological Zodiac.
Members
Sagittarius
The leader of the Horoscopes, is the first to appear in the show and is the most powerful Zodiarts. Though appearing as a human for most of the series, he unveils his Horoscopes form around Virgo's death. He is currently deceased, having dissolved into Cosmic Energy as a side-effect of his evolution.
Libra
The second Horoscopes member to be seen on the show. He was the one that recruited most of the Horoscopes members into their fold. He once, willingly, allowed Leo to use his Switch, allowing two of his Dustards to evolve into Leo Dustards. He is currently deceased, after taking a hit from Fourze meant for Sagittarius. The hit then sent him flying backwards into an open rift into the Dark Nebula, where he is vaporized by the dimension's lightning.
Leo
The third Horoscopes member to be seen on the show, having a deep connection to Sagittarius, and is fanatically loyal to him. He is currently deceased, as he dissolved into Cosmic Energy after his defeat by Kamen Rider Fourze.
Virgo
The fourth Horoscopes to be seen on the show, and was Sagittarius's right hand. He was killed at the hands of Leo while fighting him and Libra when Sagittarius learns of Virgo's hidden agenda against him.
Scorpion
The fifth Horoscopes member to be seen on the show. She is currently banished into the Dark Nebula by her fellow Horoscopes member, Virgo. Her Switch was later used by Leo. It is unknown where her current whereabouts is after Virgo told the Kamen Rider Club about sending them to the M-BUS and confirming the exact state of the Dark Nebula.
Cancer
The sixth Horoscopes member to be seen in the entirety of series and the fourth member on the show. This Horoscopes was once the Pegasus Zodiarts but has since evolved into the Cancer Zodiarts. Cancer was banished into the Dark Nebula when Libra disguised him as a rather nosy detective from an earlier episode. Presenting Virgo with the Detective!Cancer, Libra was able to fool Virgo into sentancing him to eternal imprisonment within the Dark Nebula to protect Sagittarius' plans for Amanogawa. After his banishment, the Cancer Switch falls into the possession of Libra, though Libra does not use the switch. Cancer does, however reappear - though not as it's original holder. Through Leo's unique powers, he is able to transform into Cancer. Once Virgo is exposed as being Tachibana, Virgo reveals to the Kamen Rider Club that he did not banish Cancer to the Dark Nebula, but rather he has him held in suspended animation on the M-BUS space station.
Aries
The seventh Horoscopes member, which evolved from the Lepus Zodiarts when he transfered from AGHS to Subaruboshi High School. He actually had no interest of joining the Horoscopes despite being one of Libra's prospects, but only wanting to rule over Subaruboshi High School. He's currently in a coma after his fight with Fourze in his newly obtained Cosmic States. His Switch was later used by Leo.
Capricorn
The eighth Horoscopes member, which was found by Libra using his Eye of Laplace, showing his potential to evolve past the Lyra sign. He is currently living a normal teenage life, having his memories of being Capricorn erased after his defeat at Fourze's hands. His Switch was later used by Leo.
Aquarius
The nineth member, as well as the second member that has a female body. She was found by Libra using his Eye of Laplace. She is currently living a normal teenage life, having her memories of being a Horoscopes removed from her after her defeat at Fourze's hands. Her Switch was later used by both Leo and Sagittarius.
Taurus
The tenth member, who was found by Libra using the Eye of Laplace during the Astronaut Selection Exam. He was banished into the Dark Nebula after he attacked Virgo to protect his new friends. It is unknown where his current whereabouts is after Virgo told the Kamen Rider Club about sending them to the M-BUS and confirming the exact state of the Dark Nebula.
Gemini
The eleventh member, who was found by Libra using the Eye of Laplace under the command of Sagittarius. Gemini is actually the embodiment of Yuki's (Gentaro's Friend) inner darkness that became a separate entity, thanks to the particular nature of evolution concerning people who have the potential to become a Gemini Zodiarts. After being weakened when "Light" Yuki took back dominance, Gemini is exorcised by Fourze in Cosmic States. Her Switch was later used by Leo.
Pisces
The twelfth and final member, who was found by Libra using the Eye of Laplace. Pisces had previously appeared during the Musca Zodiarts incident, where she instigated most of the things that went wrong in that arc. Unlike the others, Pisces is not joining Sagittarius' fold, and is in fact rebelling to not allow the Day of Awakening to be realized. However, Libra and Leo used her very nature to protect the former Musca Zodiarts to get herself out in the open and took Pisces' Switch from her after beating her.
