Ryuichi Sakuma

transformed into two Another Riders, , derived from Kamen Rider Fourze Basestates, and , derived from Kamen Rider Faiz.
==Character History==
===2003===
In 2003, Ryuichi was a student at Ryusei School and the boyfriend of Karin Yamabuki. When Karin was killed in a car accident, the Time Jacker Ora appeared before Ryuichi and offered him an Another Rider contract that would save Karin. He immediately accepted and was transformed into Another Faiz, causing Kamen Rider Faiz's existence and history to disappear. Using the power of Another Faiz, Ryuichi kidnapped and transformed female high school students sharing Karin's age and astrological sign (Libra) into life energy that would keep Karin alive, making her transfer to different schools whenever his actions became too conspicuous.
===2011===
In 2011, Ryuichi's power as Another Faiz began to fade, causing him great distress. Swartz, another Time Jacker, came to him and granted him another contract that warped Ryuichi into Another Fourze, erasing Kamen Rider Fourze's existence. Renewed and upgraded, Ryuichi continued to kidnap girls and keep Karin alive.
===2018===
In 2018, while Sougo Tokiwa, Geiz Myokoin, and Tsukuyomi were investigating the disappearances caused by Ryuichi, currently at Amanogawa High School, Masato Kusaka attempted to kill Karin by throwing her off of a roof, drawing the attention of Sougo, Geiz, and Tsukuyomi. Ryuichi caught and saved Karin, but was confronted by Sougo and Geiz, and fled after a brief fight with Zi-O and Geiz BuildArmor.
Sougo and Geiz later traveled to 2011 to stop Ryuichi's first attack as Another Fourze, and Ryuichi was defeated by Zi-O FourzeArmor. However, his original contract as Another Faiz reflected the defeat and allowed Ryuichi to maintain his Another Fourze powers. 
In 2018, Karin stopped Ryuichi from taking another victim, tired of surviving off of the stolen lives of others. Masato Kusaka then appeared and again attempted to kill Karin, to relieve her of the life imposed on her by Ryuichi. Ryuichi retaliated by attempting to choke Kusaka to death, but was thwarted by Takumi Inui, and fled soon after. With the situation explained by Kusaka, Geiz traveled to 2003 with the Faiz Ridewatch to stop Ryuichi's first attack as Another Faiz, while Sougo stopped his first attack as Another Fourze in 2011. Ryuichi was simultaneously defeated as Another Faiz by Geiz FaizArmor, and as Another Fourze by Zi-O FourzeArmor while Karin pled with him to let her die. At last, Ryuichi understood and accepted that his power was only making Karin suffer even more. With one final embrace, he bid farewell to the one he loved as she disintegrated out of existence. 
===2019===
Few months later, it was shown that Ryuichi graduated high school and was now an astronomer at the Yotsuba Observatory. He noticed the strange phenomenon of Regulus shining brighter than it usually did and earlier in the year than normal while using the telescope the previous night and was on the phone with a colleague at another observatory to confirm his findings and try to figure out what was going on. He was then attacked by Hiryu Kakogawa, revealing he had no memory of being Another Fourze and Faiz while attacked by him. His power of Another Faiz was extracted from him and Kamen Rider Geiz intervened before Hiryu could obtain Another Fourze's power. Sougo stayed by Ryuichi's side until he regained consciousness when the fighting ended to make sure he was okay.

==Notes==
*Since Another Faiz is meant to be transformed from Another Fourze, they both share the same under suit.
*Ryuichi Sakuma is the antithesis of Kamen Rider Fourze and Kamen Rider Faiz. Takumi Inui had initially refused or procrastinated in becoming the Faiz Driver's main user before choosing to fight to protect people's dreams, whereas Sakuma took the opportunity to become Another Faiz he had and willing to take the life energy from innocent civilians. Gentaro Kisaragi emphasized friendship above all else and was a person who spared no effort for his friends, while Sakuma continued to act alone and focused Karin as his only form of companionship.
**Ryuichi's personality is most similar to the Secondary Riders, Masato Kusaka and Ryusei Sakuta. His unwavering efforts to save Karin mirror Ryusei's commitment to rescuing his best friend. The reference in Sakuma's name pays homage to Ryusei as well as the Ryusei School. As an alumnus of Ryusei School, he relies on a specific female classmate and is driven towards villainy, similar to Kusaka.
*Despite serving as an antithesis to Kamen Rider Fourze, Another Fourze spontaneously performs Gentaro's pose upon being created by Swartz, though he does not say the line. This continues a recurring gag of characters with clashing personalities being compelled to evoke Gentaro Kisaragi when assuming the power of Fourze, following Specter as Fourze Damashii in Fourze Chapter, and Zangetsu as Fourze Arms in Kamen Rider Gaim: Sengoku Battle Royale.
*Ryuichi showing symptoms of declining due to short lifespan pays homage to the Orphnochs and Horoscopes.
*Although the red Photon Blood-like veins were meant to represent Faiz, it also resembles the Zodiarts' trademark constellation lines.
*Another Faiz is the first in show Another Rider to be based on a Rider from the First Phase of the Heisei Era.
