Growing up, he and Nobuhiko joined the Gorgom movement in 1972 to campaign for Kaijin equal rights, but he left once the organization splintered. In 2022, Kotaro would be entangled in the conflict between Kaijins and humans again.

Grasshoper's sensory organs: the compound eye and antenna can provide a greater field of vision, as well as other information such as light intensity, humidity, vibration, wind velocity, and so on. Should be comparable to other Kaijins, who can sense Black Sun's presence over great distancesKamen Rider Black Sun; Ep. 1), Regeneration (Mid-Low; He likely regenerated the wound that Spider Kaijin had stabbed him in the back. He likely regenerated after being stabbed in the abdomen by Shadowmoon), Forcefield Creation and Statistics Amplification (The Century King Sun Driver can generate a special magnetic field that surrounds the abdomen and increases the driver's output. It is also capable of amplifying the "Vital Photon," the root of life found in all living things, and manifesting the power of fusion and evolution beyond the lineage), Limited Body Control (When the grasshopper legs are removed from his back, the internal muscles tighten and stiffen, transforming it into the sturdy and linear shape of a blade), Non-Physical Interaction (Should be comparable to Shadowmoon, who can deflect Bishum's air gust.Kamen Rider Black Sun; Ep. 6 He could also physically grasp Shadowmoon's telekinesis force) 
|-|Kamen Rider Black Sun=Same as before, plus Damage Reduction (Ex Shell Armor's super-hardened skin acts as an exoskeleton, minimizing or nullifying internal damage from opponent strikes), Energy Manipulation (He can focus the "Vital Photon" life force into his fist and leg at once by performing "Vital Charge" to increase the strength of his attacks. He could also imbue Century King Black Blade with the same energy, giving it greater cutting power), Additional Enhanced Senses (Black Eyes have a broad field of vision and can focus to see clearly from 800 meters away. He can detect even the smallest quantity of light, allowing him to function correctly even in dark places. The Sensor Antennae on his head can detect subtle changes in the environment, such as air currents and temperature, as well as the source of the attack, allowing for swift evasion and defense), Extrasensory Perception (Alarm Points are extra sensory organs that enable him to identify events that the naked eye cannot detect, such as presence hiding in shadows and murderous intent, as well as approaching dangers), Minor Light Manipulation (He has the ability to emit light through his eyes and the Sun Line that runs through his body)

Attack Potency: Street level+ 14KJ (He can easily knock out Kaijin's guards; normal Kaijin are capable of overpowering and killing humans with ease)| Wall level (Defeated Silver Locust Kaijin, who fought against Saber-Toothed Tiger Kaijin, who should be as strong as the real Smilodon) | Small Building level (Stated by official data that he could pulverize a concrete block with a single blow. Defeater Leg has the power to smash a huge stone pillar with a single blow. Crusher Jaws can chew iron pillars to pieces) | Small Building level 0.012 Tons (Far stronger than all of his previous forms. Should be stronger than the old Creation King, who was able to restrain and cut off Kamen Rider Black Sun's leg despite being weaker from old age0.012 Tons)
Speed: Athletic Human | Superhuman movement speed with Subsonic 48.6894337716 m/s reaction speed (Comparable to Saber-Toothed Tiger Kaijin who should be as fast as the real Smilodon.

Stamina: Superhuman (Kaijins' natural resilience allows them to withstand injuries that would kill humans, such as mutilation, dismemberment, being shot at, and massive blood loss. Kotaro has been stabbed twice and has lost a leg, yet he is still conscious and fighting. He ripped off his own grasshopper leg, which hardly faded him. Notably, he battled with a crippled leg for the majority of the series, but it didn't hinder his combat prowess)

|-|Devices=
=== Century King Sun Driver ===
The Transformation Belt Century King Sun Driver (変身ベルト 世紀王サンドライバー, Henshin Beruto Seiki Ō San Doraibā) is a transformation device worn by Kotaro Minami. The belt is comprised of several parts, including: 
*Raging Band, the belt that creates a specific magnetic field around the abdomen in order to increase the driver's output. 
*Vital Circuit, special biological circuits formed within the Century King Sun Driver. It optimizes the flow of Vital Photons, the source of life in all living beings' bodies, and instantly amplifies their strength. The Kaijin transformation process combines the Vital Circuits of other species into the human body, radically altering the creature's body structure. 
*Variable Cell, a special material that makes up all parts of the Century King Sun Driver, is a form of artificial cell capable of complex mechanical shape memory and spreading throughout the body as cell fragments. 
*Energy Reactor is the central unit functions as a detonator and reactor, generating the power required for transformation and battle. If the Kingstone is present within, the output will increase and a peculiar power may appear.
=== Kingstone ===
The Kingstones (キングストーン, Kingu Sutōn) are fragments of an organic mineral-like substance produced by Kozo Minami and Soichiro Akizuki utilizing the Creation King's extract along with genetic material and vital photons collected from migratory locusts during a solar eclipse.

=== Century King Black Blade ===
The Century King Black Blade (世紀王ブラックブレード, Seiki Ō Burakku Burēdo) is Kamen Rider Black Sun's personal weapon. It was created from the grasshoper leg ripped from Black Sun's body. The weapon can only be created twice because he is unable to regenerate lost limbs.

=== Battle Hopper ===
The Battle Hopper (バトルホッパー, Batoru Hoppā) is Kamen Rider Black Sun's personal Rider Machine. Battle Hopper's engine was built with the purpose of lasting a century; it performs as well as new with minimal refueling and maintenance. The armor is sturdy enough to survive a certain amount of gunfire and explosives, allowing it to be employed as a combat vehicle on the front lines. The wheels are resistant to collisions and may land safely even when jumping from a great height.

Intelligence: Above Average in combat (Kotaro is a experienced fighter who has defeated Nobuhiko twice, who has fought against government forces on multiple times between 1972 and 2022. He easily beat Bilgenia in combat, who take down an entire special police team with one arm. He's fought a variety of Kaijin, who employ unconventional fighting techniques including telekinesis and bestial tactics. While untransformed, he defeated government guards and normal Kaijins effortlessly. He also taught Aoi martial arts. It should be mentioned that for most of his time in the present, he has fought with a limp caused by his injured leg, which is aggravated by his aversion to Heat Heaven)
Weaknesses: He is unable to regrow lost limbs since his left leg has been crippled since 1972 and has not entirely recovered. This weakness has disappeared after he consumed a dose of Heat Heaven in preparation for his final confrontation with Nobuhiko.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Kaijin Physiology: Kaijin are creatures with special abilities developed through government experiments. They are born after a special "stone" holding the DNA information of a non-human organism is implanted in the human body. Kaijin are created to be super soldiers, therefore they are naturally stronger and more resilient than humans, with low-level Kaijin capable of overpowering humans, ripping and decapitating limbs, and surviving mutilation and dismemberment. Kotaro's powers considerably exceed those of most Kaijins due to his ease in one-shotting them. 
*Rider Kick: A finisher in which Kotaro concentrated the "Vital Photon" life force into his leg with incredible power in order to crush a huge stone pillar with a single strike.
*Rider Punch: A finisher imbued with the "Vital Photon" life force into his fist to unleash a fatal strike.
