"*I AM A GOD!*"

―Shilo's self-proclamation

**Shilo Takanashi** (高梨志郎, *Takanashi Shirō*) is the 29-year-old (30 as of the present Ex-Aid plot) 2nd CEO of Genm Corp. who transforms into **Kamen Rider Genm**.

## History

### Early Life

Shilo Takanashi was born to the CEO of the Genm Corporation, working as the developer of the corporation’s games. He was described by others as a gaming genius by his father and others. When he was 15, he received a fanmail from a young boy called Reymen. He was jealous, but at the same time impressed. Shilo sent Reymen a custom game, which was really infected with a bugster strain.

While all of this was happening, he became friends with a boy in his school named Shingo. The two became extremely close, going out for ice cream one day. But, while Shilo went to go buy a bottle of soda, he returned to Shingo's dead body on the Ice Cream Shop floor. That incident would traumatize Shilo for the rest of his life, but also inspire him to try and save people himself.

Some time after, Shilo accidentally infected his father with the Bugster Virus. He tried his best to save him, starting Zero Day while also making a perfect game; Kamen Rider Chronicle.

### Infecting Reymen and officially meeting the Bugsters

Shilo observed Reymen from a distance, hiring the Next Genome Institute to remove the bugster from Reymen. After the operation, the matured bugster (Now known as Sapphire) was separated from Reymen, the Next Genome Institute workers vanishing that day.

Shilo met a bugster named Auriana, who was born directly from Reymen’s friend. He took care of her, later finding Sapphire as he took her in aswell. Shilo and Sapphire joined sides, Sapphire taking care of most of the work for him.

### Meeting Lexie

After a fight against a couple of villains, Lexie was extremely hurt due to a finisher. Shilo popped up to collect Natsuko, but was confronted by Reymen. The little fight ended with Reymen storming off, the CEO laughing in his mind. He picked Lexie up, Natsuko hopping on his back, as he walked away to his apartment.

**Action Gamer Level 2** (アクションゲーマーレベル2, *Akushon Gēmā Reberu Tsū*) is Genm's primary fighter form, activated by inserting the Proto Mighty Action X Gashat and pulling the lever on the Gamer Driver.

Since he is a pallete swap of Ex-Aid, he shares the same ability parameters with Ex-Aid. However, Genm relies on brute melee attacks and long-range shooting rather than the agility and evasion seen with Ex-Aid.

	+ **Eye Light Scope** (アイライトスコープ, *Ai Raito Sukōpu*) - Kamen Rider Genm's "eyes". It can emit light for night battles and can also capture images comparable to a high- speed camera. It can also observe microscopic Bugster Virus.

The agility focused adjustments increases the rider's reaction time and the rider's skills will be reflected as attack power. While it is possible to cancel the Strenghtening Limiter to become stronger, it will burden the rider's body.
