Main characters

Maki Aikawa95 fan favorites
External profile
Formerly a gymnast who trained under her now-deceased mother, Maki uses her acrobatic skill in her fighting style to increase freedom of movement. Her attacks combine vertiginous leaps and summersaults with the fearsome, furious power of her kicks and throws. Maki has the ability to replicate most nearly any move she gets hit with or sees, and when in combat possesses an awe-inspiring resilience, presence, and strength of will. Since her relationship with her father is conflicted, she lives alone. Maki seems to enjoy street fighting for the 'rush' rather than any sense of revenge or honor. When not fighting, Maki tends to stick out in a crowd due to her unusual height (6 feet, which is very tall for a teen Japanese girl) and appearance, preferring to follow her quartet of friends quietly. Her younger sister comments that Maki is somewhat simple minded. Maki is reluctant to deal with several people obsessed with her. She becomes vulnerable to attack, for a moment, when she gets approached in any romantic way, especially with Julietta Sakamoto. Her signature moves are the "Air Spin Driver" and the " Air Cutter"; she is later shown to master the art of Air Flow. Maki eventually begins working as a policewoman. A target is put on her after she singlehandedly raids and wipes out several yakuza gangs. Unable to reveal her true face, she created the alias "Tiger Master". Tiger Master founds a dojo called the Tiger Cub's Den for children to train and practice moderate martial arts. In the dojo, she meets a young Futaba Shimamura who asks her for serious training. At Futaba's request, Tiger Master becomes Tojima Tanzaburo and others' training partner. (Source: Kamen Rider Wiki)
Julietta Sakamoto59 fan favorites
External profile
A scruffy but handsome ghost writer who becomes obsessed with Maki (romantically), while the latter is totally uninterested in him and finds his behavior very creepy. He is a smooth talker but prone to overly aggressive declarations of love, sometimes bordering on assault, towards Maki, who he calls "My Jenny". He tends to always kiss her and declare his love for her when they're together, even during their fights, throwing her off balance. This is usually done for comedic effect. He has three women who are head over heels for him: Uzumi Mika (a famous singer), Nono Rakuko (a famous model), and Nanjou Remon (a famous novelist). He ignores them all since he's fixed on marrying Maki and making her move in with him. Maki is physically capable of beating him down in his insane-like "distracted" state of mind (Julietta rarely gets serious with anyone—he's got "Maki" on his mind, if ya know what I mean); however, she did have a hard time with him at first. If Julietta, who defeated the 3rd ranked Yoshitoku Konishi (without going serious), were to get serious with Maki, who lost to the 4th ranked Fukamichi fighter... it is in no way clear who the "winner" would be. He can take a huge beating and still be able to fight. In a fight with another opponent he once had both his legs and one of his arms broken but he was still able to fight. Sakamoto usually only fights with extremely fast and devastating kicks. He usually leaves his hands in his pockets while fighting even though he has a powerful punch. It's said his strength is legendary on the street. He becomes rank seven in the Fukamichi Rankings after defeating Nobuhiko Fukamichi in a single kick, though Julietta's rank does not do justice to his fighting ability, as he defeats Yoshitoku Konishi, the third place holder, without going serious.
Renge Inui10 fan favorites
External profile
The group's extremely short friend. Renge has a penchant for eating obsessively, yet she is always thin (Although, sometimes, when she eats a lot, she is shown to have a belly). Renge is the stereotypical, overexcited kid, with a tendency to whine, but she mostly serves as a cheering squad. She later acquires a kitten that she carries with her most of the time. Much to her friends surprise, she has two younger sisters named Men-Men and Mikan, who both look identical to Renge. She is good friends with Tsukio, and usually gives him money for breakfast. Her features resemble that of "Astro Girl." (Source: Wikipedia)
Mina Nakanotani6 fan favorites
External profile
One of Maki's shyer friends, who goes to a presumably rich, private school. Mina has ridiculously exaggerated, large breasts, normally used as a source of humor rather than fan service, and she is extremely self conscious about it. In addition to this, Mina is hopelessly in love with Maki, who is not sure how to handle the matter, making this the main reason her friends make fun of her. However, like Maki, she has her share of admirers as well; including Reiishi Mishima and many members of Kinjirou's Black Suit gang. She has been a fan of Nanjou Remon's novels since she was a kid.
