==Summary==
Takeshi Hongo (本郷 猛, Hongō Takeshi), is the main protagonist of Kamen Rider The First movie (2005). He was a college biochemistry student who was kidnapped and transformed into a cyborg known as "Hopper" by the secret organization "Shocker." He was brainwashed into carrying out Shocker's acts until a certain mission causes him to regain his ego and resolve to oppose Shocker's evildoing. During his journey, he encountered a second Hopper named Hayato Ichimonji, who is sent by Shocker to eliminate traitors until they eventually become allies in order to save Asuka from Shocker.
In the sequel film Kamen Rider The Next (2007), Takeshi continues to be involved with Shocker's plot to remodel Japan using nanomachines with the help of Ichimonji and later enemies-turned-allies, Shiro Kazami.
