## Daisuke Yamamoto (Kamen Rider Amazon)

He is a man from the Amazon Rainforest who traveled across the world to find a place that he could call home, eventually arriving in Japan where he fights Gedon as Kamen Rider Amazon. Though disillusioned after Masahiko used him to get the GiGi Armlet, Amazon regains his trust in humanity when the boy returns the armlet, finding his place by the Okamura. Afterwards, he aids Decade in battle against Apollogeist and Yum Cimil, forcing Apollogeist into retreat with his Wild Slash and destroying Llumu with his Super Wild Slash after Decade equipped him with the GaGa Armlet.
