Ethan Watanabe is Kamen Rider OOO, the main protagonist & one of the main characters in Kamen Rider: OOO. Before Ethan Watanabe, there was a Unnamed King who had fought & sealed the Greed away.
===Kamen Rider OOO===
He returned from Japan to the United States to fund for more of his travels. His latest part-time job, a security guard at the Ness Art Museum, ends due to the destruction of the museum around him due to him being drugged to sleep by some would-be robbers. Ethan takes a strange red medal, he found while off duty which he thinks is his pay. This causes a disembodied arm to begin to follow him around until the arm announces that it is called Ankh & is one of the ancient beings known as the Greed, & he needs Ethan's help to become King. When they are attacked by a monster called a Yummy, Ethan risks his life to rescue Ankh, who in return saves him & gives Ethan two more strange medals, calling them "Core Medals", & a belt, enabling Ethan to transform into the Kamen Rider OOO.
After destroying the Yummy & further encounters with the Greed, people from the Ness Foundation begin to approach Ethan, offering their assistance in the fight against the Greed & Yummy, but their true motives are not clear. He also gets a job & housing at the Cous Coussier, after the owner Daisy Stanford finds out that he is a world traveler. In the process, joined by Johnny Tolbert, Ethan learns more of the Greed's desire to become whole & the reason why Ankh is unable to assume his complete form. However, things changed when Ethan ended up becoming a host to half of a set of Purple Core Medals that react to his lack of selfish desires, the same presumed reason why he is able to use Kamen Rider OOO's powers without any sign of going berserk so far like the First Kamen Rider OOO, with dangerous consequences. Soon after, Ethan learns from James Ness, the Foundation's owner, that the only way to counteract the purple Core Coins is to acquire a desire of his own, something he is yet capable of.
Later on, he turns into the dinosaur-like Ethan Greed after absorbing two more purple Core Medals from the other Purple Greed, Kieran Leach, in a bid to make him go berserk. However, it was by then Ethan remembers his desire is to have the power to help others & later agrees to Ness's suggestion to absorb all the Cell Medals in the Ness Foundation's possession to achieve that desire. However, it does not halt Ethan's Greedification during his final battle when he uses all the Cell Medals in his body in a risky attack that fails to destroy Leach. But before Ethan undergoes his Greed transformation, Ankh gives Ethan his last three Core Medals, disappearing from Truman & allowing Ethan to transform to defeat Leach, resulting in the disappearance of the Core Medals, with the Core Medals that houses Ankh's consciousness splitting in half.
As a now-normal Ethan falls back to the Earth, Ankh appears to him as his disembodied arm, bidding his farewells, before disappearing into half of the broken Hawk Medals that once held his consciousness. Saved by Kamen Rider Genesis, receiving the other half of Blazephyr's Core Medals that Amy found, Ethan leaves the United States & resumes his journey around the world, using Ankh's/Truman's iPhone to keep in touch with his friends while trying to find a way to fix the broken Hawk Medal with a spectral Blazephyr arm following him.
==Personality==
Despite often coming off as happy-go-lucky in his personality, Ethan is actually quite strong-willed & was easily able to pick up on the fact he could use Ankh's need for him & the OOO Belt to keep the Greed in line. Another defining trait is Ethan will fight to protect anyone in need, even complete strangers & at the risk of his own life. This stemmed after his regret from not saving the little African girl he befriended during a civil war which his family fortune started. He keeps a collection of coins & almost always has pairs of underwear of different designs & colors which he at times even gives to others. This is revealed to stem from an optimistic outlook thought to him by his grandfather, who said that all a man needs is a pair of underpants for tomorrow.
Ethan possesses no selfish desires which made him ideal for being the Kamen Rider OOO but also became a weakness once the Purple Core Medals sought out a host, as they immediately found him & took root. However, taking the advice of Johnny Tolbert, after becoming a Greed, Ethan remembers the desire he had so long ago; Ethan wanted the power to protect people no matter where they are, which Ankh gave to him in the form of the OOO Belt.
