Nozomi Kitazaki

is the main antagonist of Kamen Rider 555 20th: Paradise Regained. He is an android replica of Kitazaki and the president of the reorganized Smart Brain who later transforms into the second .
==History==
Nozomi Kitazaki assumed the role of president of the new iteration of Smart Brain. He bears a striking resemblance to the original Kitazaki, also known as the Dragon Orphnoch. He entrusted the task of annihilating the Orphnoch to Rena Kurumi and provided life-prolonging treatment to Takumi Inui, who was on the brink of death. Despite a changed personality and appearance, Kitazaki retained his cruelty, even going so far as to kill Kouta even after betraying his comrades to protect himself.
However, after Takumi's rebellion against Smart Brain, Kitazaki personally entered the frontlines, overpowering the Wolf Orphnoch and Wildcat Orphnoch. However, during the confrontation, Wildcat Orphnoch scarred Kitazaki's face, revealing that he was an android replica of the original Kitazaki. When Rena hesitated to carry out the order to kill Takumi and Mari, Kitazaki executed her for insubordination and took the Muez Driver to become Kamen Rider Muez.
In the showdown between Takumi as Next Faiz and Kitazaki as Muez, the latter's superiority was evident due to its predictive AI. Despite assistance from Naoya Kaido and Kei, as well as the use of Next Faiz's Axel Form, Muez's remained formidable. However, when Takumi retrieved the original Faiz Gear to transform into Kamen Rider Faiz, Muez's predictive AI proved vulnerable to unpredictable attacks. Even with Next Kaixa's support, they succumbed to Wildcat Orphnoch's slashing attack and Faiz's Crimson Smash, exploding into pieces in the end.
