Eiji Tomari/Surprise Future

was Shinnosuke Tomari's son from a dystopian future who operated as in 2035 before being murdered by the Paradox Roidmude, who then masqueraded under his identity in 2016. 
==History==
Eiji Tomari was born the son of Shinnosuke Tomari and Kiriko Shijima, though he only grew up with his mother as Shinnosuke was long dead before he could remember. Eiji however, did have a keepsake tie that belonged to Shinnosuke. 
As an adult, Eiji grew up in an apocalyptic society where the Roidmudes reigned supreme. Eventually he took on his late father's role as Kamen Rider Drive but was killed by Roidmude 108. 
===Legacy===
After Eiji's identity was copied, Roidmude 108, also known as Paradox, took his Drive Driver as well as Shinnosuke's tie and traveled to 2016. Though Eiji himself never made it to 2016, his passion for justice was inherited by his father who then proceeded to foil Paradox's plans. Eiji's spirit then appeared briefly through Shift Special as a hologram, transforming alongside Shinnosuke to grant him access to Drive type Special.
Eiji and his future were erased after Paradox's defeat, allowing his current timeline counterpart to live a brighter future where his entire family is alive and well.
==Personality==
Although Eiji lived in a bleak future, he always held on to hope as he fought the Roidmudes, having discovered a way to time travel back to the past but died before he could attempt it. He also grew up never knowing his father on a personal level, and wanted to meet him.
