Makoto Hikawa

is a police officer who is the main user of the Generation-3 system, transforming into .
==History==
Makoto Hikawa is a police offficer chosen to use the G3-System, originally developed to battle the Unidentified Lifeforms known as the Gurongi, to battle the Lords, whom his superiors labeled as "Unknown". He is an earnest, straight forward, and honorable man who is serious about his work, though slightly naïve and clumsy. Because he was a normal human and the G3-System initially proved little threat, the Lords usually paid no attention to him, though Hikawa's resourcefulness would occasionally allow him to use the armor effectively.
One day, while on patrol, Hikawa witnessed the Akatsuki ship being held by the El of the Sea. So he took a boat to investigate and managed to save all but one of its passengers. Due to his heroic role in the incident, Hikawa was assigned to the G3 Unit.
Hikawa took the G3-System on its first run during the Jaguar Lord case, resulting with a feral Agito damaging the Suit. Overtime, while aiding Agito, Hikawa managed to piece together the nature of the Lords' victims. Later on though, Toru Hojo took his place as the G3's user, believing he got the position for being a hero, and Hikawa was transferred back to criminal investigations for a short while. That was until he proved his skills for being the true G3 user by anticipating the Zebra Lords' next target. He resumes his role in the G3 squad after decking Toru when he attempted to capture Agito.
Soon after stronger Unknown and Toru's Victory One System appeared, Hikawa was given the upgraded G3-X Armor, which would allow him to fight on more equal footing with the Unknown. However, the perfection was the flaw as the AI would momentarily take over an incompatible user, as seen when the suit acted on Hikawa's deepest desires when it fired on Toru. After consulting her mentor, Ozawa installs a special inhibitor chip to regress the AI.
Hikawa finally learned the true identity of Agito in episode 39 when he cancels his transformation in front of him after being knocked by Another Agito. Upon learning Agito was the seemingly hapless Shoichi, Hikawa's disbelief causes him lose his cool (even getting in a short argument with Ozawa and Omuro) and express his disappointment, as he was unable to accept Shoichi as the Agito he had admired for so long. This caused Hikawa to be reluctant on meeting Shoichi after his surprise. However, their combined effort to defeat Skelos Glaucus caused them to continue their usual relationship, and Hikawa become more respectful towards Shoichi.
After Hojo took over the G3 Unit, Hikawa was transferred back to Koji Kono, Toru Hojo's boss. However, Hikawa felt that he had unfinished business, so he and Ozawa forcefully took back the G3 trailer by gunpoint. Despite initially acting surprised, Toru calmly approves of their actions and allows them to continue. Donning the G3-X one final time, Hikawa heads toward Shoichi's location, narrowly saving him from the El of the Ground's attack. 
The Overlord of Darkness is unconcerned by this predicament, believing that a "mere mortal" is too weak to be a threat. Facing the El of the Ground and Wind simultaneously, Hikawa fights them alone, allowing Shoichi to recuperate in the meantime. To both El Lords' shock, Hikawa gains the upper hand in their battle, a feat even Agito Shining Form failed to do. In disbelief, the El of the Ground questions Hikawa's identity, unable to comprehend why someone without Agito's powers could be so powerful. Triumphantly, Hikawa refers to himself as a "mere mortal", preparing to continue their fight.
Noticing his underlings' disadvantage, the Overlord of Darkness directly intervenes, attacking Hikawa. Wounded, Hikawa is blown towards Shoichi's side, the El Lords following after them. Ashihara appears in the nick of time to assist Hikawa and Shoichi, transforming into Gills Exceed. Regaining their composure, both Hikawa and Shoichi resume their battle against the El Lords, the odds being in their favor. Amidst the fight, Hikawa fires his GX-05 Kerberos at the El of Wind, allowing Ashihara to finish him off with his Rider Kick. Similarly, Shoichi as Agito Shining Form uses his Rider Kick on the El of the Ground, defeating him as well.
Having lost his strongest warriors, the Overlord of Darkness attempts to escape, with Shoichi using his empowered Rider Kick on him. The attack proves enough to destroy the Overlord's physical body, ensuring victory for the Kamen Riders and humanity as a whole.
By the next year, Hikawa leaves the G3 Unit and returns to being a normal officer of the law. Continuing to work diligently, Hikawa successfully arrests a wanted criminal, before talking with a fellow police officer over humanity's stance towards Agito. During their discussion, Hikawa receives a phone call from Ozawa overseas, with Hikawa amused by Ozawa's words and actions.

However, the true Agito, Shoichi Tsugami finally appeared with the real identity of the other Agito was revealed to be Shoichi Maguichi, who was crazed after being blamed for cheating on the programs for using a hidden camera during his childhood. Wanting to cure his sick mind, he worshipped the Dog Orphnoch/Dog Lord and was told to feed on the despair of the public.

==Personality==
Hikawa is a clumsy, hard-working, humble, and selfless police officer. He will blame himself for anything that goes wrong even in cases when it is clearly not his fault. His detective skills made him the first to realize that the Unknowns were targeting people with supernatural abilities. However, these skills often do not extend to his interpersonal relationships as it took Shoichi transforming from Agito into his human form for him to realize his identity as a rider. His clumsiness is shown whenever Shouchi asks Hikawa to help him in various tasks like cutting wood or removing the insides from chestnuts to eat.
Having no supernatural powers like his fellow Riders, Hikawa has shown a subconscious desire to attain Agito's strength, feeling a slight sense of insecurity towards himself. Gradually though, Hikawa recognizes his worth as a Kamen Rider, with his determination allowing him to continue fighting as himself. Towards the end, Hikawa has moved on from his sense of insecurity, showing pride in being a "mere mortal".
