**Ryōhei Taguchi** (田口亮平, *Taguchi Ryōhei*), alternatively spelled **Ryouhei Taguchi**, is a former resident of the 2220 timeline, later being sent to 2022 with Nozomi and Masato. After receiving the Miraidriver from a witch, he can transform into **Kamen Rider Quiz**.

## History

### Backstory

Taguchi Ryōhei was born in 2222 to two wealthy parents with his sister, Anabelle. He was close friends with one of the girls who lived in his area, Nozomi Yamamura and her brother Masato. The three were childhood best friends, always going on walks together. One day, Ryo decided to speak to the local witch, getting a special driver from her. But, something bad happened a couple of days later.

He witnessed a fight against Nozomi, Masato and their other siblings. In the middle of the fight, he witnessed his sister running over to help, watching her get fatally hit with a blast. Anabelle died in Ryouhei and Masato's arms that day, causing Ryouhei to go into a fit of rage. He was about to attack the evil twins before they opened a portal, Nozomi, Masato and Ryohei falling into the portal. They arrived in 2022, where Ryouhei met a amnesiac woman.

## Personality

Ever since he was little, Ryōhei was a highly prideful quiz master. He’s incredibly smart, sometimes being able to predict the moves of his enemies. He cares deeply about his friends, doing whatever it takes to defend them.

Ever since he came to the past, Ryouhei has slightly changed. He has become more brutal and violent, which was seen when he tackled Hayana. He also has a caring side, showing it when he took Shion in, naming himself as her caretaker.

Ryouhei transforms into **Kamen Rider Quiz** (仮面ライダークイズ, *Kamen Raidā Kuizu*) by slotting the Quiz Topper into the Quizdriver. While Kamen Rider Quiz's stats are slightly lower than Zi-O or Geiz, aside from running power, which is slightly higher, Quiz's main fighting style is to ask opponents true/false questions in battle. If an opponent is unable to answer him correctly, they will receive a painful electric shock.

Although his stats are lower than Zi-O and Geiz's, Ryouhei is perfectly capable of fighting again Saber Primitive Dragon. So, to say, he doesn't rely on his suit's skills to fight, instead using his own fighting skills.

* **Think Header** (シンクヘッダー, *Shinku Heddā*) - The helmet.
	+ **Million Question** (ミリオンクエスチョン, *Mirion Kuesuchon*) - The big question mark-shaped brainpower source on the forehead.

	+ **Pinto Eyesers** (ピントアイザー, *Pinto Aizā*) - The question mark shaped visual devices. They are capable of seeing extremely fine detail, and can even record 180-digit numbers shown in 0.1 seconds.

	+ **Handlet Listenisers** (ハンドレットリスナイザー, *Handoretto Risunaizā*) - The listening devices at the sides of the Think Header. They are capable of picking up to 100 sounds at once, and can deduce the possibility of what each sound is with a high degree of accuracy. Sends sounds to the IQ Dome.

The two circular **Result Presenters** (リザルトプレゼンター, *Rizaruto Purezentā*) on it will electrically shock opponents who answer Kamen Rider Quiz's questions incorrectly via the Cathode Bracelets. The Result Armor boasts extremely high defense power, and electric shocks cannot be overwhelmed by physical attacks.
* **Circle Side Shoulder** (サークルサイドショルダー, *Sākuru Saido Shorudā*) - The right shoulder pad. The built-in **All Genre Searcher** (オールジャンルサーチャー, *ōru Janru Sāchā*) device constantly monitors the surrounding environment, sending collected data to the Million Question.
* **Cross Side Shoulder** (クロスサイドショルダー, *Kurosu Saido Shorudā*) - The left shoulder pad. The built-in **Discover Strange** (ディスカバーストレンジ, *Disukabā Sutorenji*) device constantly monitors opponents, sending collected data to the Million Question.
* **Which One Suit** (ウィッチワンスーツ, *Uitchi Wan Sūtsu*) - The bodysuit. Energy from the Quizdriver is violently amplified by running it across both the 'circle' and 'cross' sides of the suit.

* **Jump Up Shoes** (ジャンプアップシューズ, *Janpu Appu Shūzu*) - The feet. Jumping power is doubled by jumping at a steady pace, allowing a strong kick to be released. However, any misstep in the pacing will result in a loss of jumping power.

Kamen Rider Quiz's finisher is the **Final Quiz Flash** (ファイナルクイズフラッシュ, *Fainaru Kuizu Furasshu*), which has two variations:

* After asking a true/false question, Quiz jumps in the air only to be hidden by a giant sign with two panels marked "O" and "X" respectively. He then breaks through the correct answer's panel with his foot and hits the enemy with a spinning kick carrying projections of both symbols and an "!" on impact.
* Quiz and Geiz perform a double rider kick at the enemy.
