Takemoto (Gotchard)

is an ex-salaryman who transformed into the with Venomdake.
==History==
At some point, Takemoto was a salaryman from an unknown company. After the release of the 101 chemies, Takemoto went to a public area with the intent of beginning an indiscriminate murder spree with a knife. However, the chemy, Venomdake, was hiding in a patch of plants near the area, and synchronized with his malice, transmuting him into a Malgam. Takemoto took his new abilities in stride and spread a poisonous spore that caused his victims to laugh uncontrollably.
After attacking another crowd of people, including Ryo Kajiki, Houtaro Ichinose arrived on the scene thanks to Hopper1 sensing Takemoto's transmutation. After Houtarou confronted him, Takemoto attempted to douse him in laughing spores but the boy was able to transform into Kamen Rider Gotchard, rendering him immune to Takemoto's signature attack. Frustrated, Takemoto struck him with a blast of paralytic poison, forcing Houtarou out of his transformation and disabling him. Laughing at Houtarou's predicament, he fled the scene. He was later found and defeated by Gotchard Appareskebow, losing his powers. Despite an attempt to flee, Takemoto was captured by Minato and bound in steel girders using alchemy to be left for the police.
== Personality ==
Takemoto is a misanthropic, bitter man who despises the sight of people laughing in happiness. He showed signs of psychopathic tendencies as well, pulling out a knife in the middle of a crowd of people to apparently begin a murder spree. Takemoto's sadistic tendencies caused him to develop a venomous spore that caused people to laugh themselves to death after his transmutation into a Malgam.
