**Gakuto Kanemoto**, real name **Giraffa Undead**, is one of the main participants in *Group 3: Kamen Rider FX Episode Jo³ker* and *Group 4: FX Episode √Χ*. Originally a participant of the Battle Fight that took place 10,000 years ago, prior to the Deadzone incident, Gakuto infiltrated his universe's BOARD while posing as a Human. There, he was selected to become **Kamen Rider Hankyuu** (仮面ライダー阪急*, Kamen Raidā Hankyū*).

During the FeXtra: Seasonal Specials he additionally becomes **Kamen Rider KyuudOOO** (仮面ライダーキュウドオーズ, *Kamen Raidā Kyuudoōzu*) alongside Hachiro Mochizuki and later, while possessed by Hachiro while passed out, also becomes **Kamen Rider NeOOO SeiShiroGin Form** (仮面ライダーNeOOO, *Kamen Raidā NeŌzu*).

## History

### Pre-Campaign

During the Battle Fight 10,000 years ago in his timeline, Gakuto fought as did the other Undead. However, one particular battle would change him as a person. A fight with the Stag Beetle Undead. Before then, he saw other Undead and even life itself as something neutral, that he shouldn't really care about. The only thing that mattered up to that point was the fight, to win because that was all they existed for. Nothing more, nothing less.

Stag Beetle's determination and honor would eventually "infect" Gakuto. The Stag Beetle didn't fight because they were forced too, they fought because they enjoyed it, and because they enjoyed sharing this fight with others. Every enemy of theirs was someone that would build them up as someone stronger and wiser. Up until then, every fight was empty for Gakuto, but no longer. He was actually living for once. For once he had finally fought a Battle he enjoyed. It wasn't just pure violence, it was like they spoke to each other during their fight. At that moment, the reward didn't matter. Gakuto couldn't understand why but he wanted to.

10,000 years after the Battle Fight ended with the Human Undead's victory, the Undead were once again unsealed. In Gakuto's timeline, the events leading up to the Undead being unsealed was similar to that of the show. Unlike the other Undead, Gakuto didn't really mind the Humans, rather seeing them as a means to an end. He heard of BOARD from other Undead who had barely escaped their forces and joined the company while in the guise of a Human, thinking that with their unwilling support, winning the Battle Fight would be an easy task.

Eventually he was selected for being compatible with BOARD's 1st Rider System and became Kamen Rider Hankyuu.

The **Giraffa Undead** is Gakuto's true form. In this form, he is armed with a pair of scissor-like twin-bladed swords, named **Helltar** and **Skeltar** respectively.

During FeXtra Holiday Hijinks!, Gakuto accidentally stumbled upon a Christmas Power-Up Item that had been laid out by Laplace, resulting in a form similar to his base form but with a fake beard, a santa hat and christmas decorations around his neck.

―Transformation announcement[src]
**King Form** is Hankyuu's Final Form which harnesses the power of all cards from the Diamond suit via the Rouse Absorber. Hankyuu assumes his King Form by inserting the Absorb Serpent into the Rouse Absorber and scanning the Evolution Giraffa Rouse Card. His perfect compatibility with his Ace and King cards allow him to merge every card of the suit of diamonds into his suit.

When transforming into King Form, all of Hankyuu's Diamond Suit Rouse Cards form a full suit of golden armor for him. This massively increases his defenses, but at the cost of running speed. Despite possessing wings, this form is unable to fly, unlike Jack Form.

This forms grants him the **King Hankyuu Rouzer**, a heavy two-handed crossbow. It does not have a way to store the Rouse Cards, as they are inside Gakuto's body in this form. The Rouse Cards that make up this form also evolve into their **Guild Rouze Card** counterparts and can be summoned at any time.

By combining different cards, Hankyuu is able to do various finishers such as:

* **Royal Straight Flush**: The component cards fly out of Hankyuu's body and into his Rouser, after which a row of cards shows up in between Hankyuu and his opponent as energy builds up on the tip of his crossbow. Finally, he presses on the trigger, shooting out a massive beam of energy. Because of this finisher's immense power, Hankyuu's visor closes up to protect his eyes from the finisher.

	+ AP Cost: 10800

* Christmas King

**Christmas King Form**

*"Absorb Queen! Evolution Christmas!"*
―Transformation announcement[src]
**Christmas King Form** is Hankyuu's Christmas-themed Extra Final Form accessible by using the Christmas Giraffa Rouse Card and the Absorb Serpent Rouse Card in junction with the Rouse Absorber as he would for his King Form.

Despite being a variation of his King Form born from the merging of the Evolution Giraffa Rouse Card and the Christmas Power-Up Item, it is actually weaker than its regular counterpart as a result of the Power-Up interfering with Gakuto's compatability with the suit of Diamonds. It also keeps all the weaknesses of the original form, but is still stronger in power compared to Jack Form.

As such, only his Royal Club Cards, as well as Change Stag turn into their Guild Rouse Card counterparts, as demonstrated by the fact that Thief Chameleon stayed in its default form when Gakuto used it.

Despite the differences, it still maintains the regular **King Hankyuu Rouzer**.

By combining different cards, Hankyuu is able to do various finishers such as:

* **Royal Straight Flush (Christmas Ver.)**: Hankyuu pulls out the appropriate cards and inserts them into the Rouzer himself. After doing so, energy builds up at the tip of his crossbow as the sound of bells ringing can be heard. By pushing the trigger, a giant ice-themed beam which freezes the ground as it flies is launched towards the opponent.
	+ **Cards Required**: Thief Chameleon (Non-Guild) + Fusion Peacock + Absorb Serpent + Christmas Giraffa + Change Stag
	+ AP Cost: 10800

**Queen ShiGazeShi Combo**

*"Open Up! (Queen!) Shika! Gazelle! Ushi! (Absorb!) Shiga-ze-shi!"*
―Transformation announcement[src]
**Kamen Rider KyuudOOO** is the fusion of **Kamen Rider Hankyuu** and Kamen Rider NeOOO accessed via using the Absorb Serpent Rouse Card on the Hankyuu Buckle with the help of the O Scanner, only possible due to the Serpent Undead having been sealed with a few ShiGazeShi Medals still within her.

As such, this fusion form has the abilities of both Kamen Rider Hankyuu and NeOOO's ShiGazeShi Form, possessing both of their arsenals. Because Hachiro possesses Gakuto during the transformation, the medal within him also impact the form, additionally granting MukaChiRi's abilities.

Unique to the form, it is able to sprout bee-like wings to fly around.

When fused, Gakuto and Hachiro only seemingly share a body á là Kamen Rider Double as both of their consciousnesses exist separately. Similar to when the Stag Undead became Kamen Rider Hankyuu, under the effects of the Gemini Zebra Rouse Card, Hachiro and Gakuto's consciousnesses are separated allowing them to both use the form's power separately at the cost of splitting their enhanced health.

KyuudOOO is able to do various finishers such as:

* **Twin Scan Smash**: With the help of the O Scanner, by performing a Burning Divide and a Scanning Charge all at once, the rings from NeOOO's finishers show up, as KyuudOOO jumps up flying through the hoops, setting them on fire as they do. As their kick connects, projections of Kamen Rider Hankyuu's Jack Form and Kamen Rider NeOOO's MukaChiRi Form can be seen behind KyuudOOO.
	+ **Cards Required**: Drop Whale + Fire Fly + Gemini Zebra
	+ AP Cost: 3400
* **Scanning Charge**: KyuudOOO is able to use NeOOO's Scanning Charge standalone finisher.
* **Burning Smash**: KyuudOOO is able to use Hankyuu's Burning Smash standalone finisher.
	+ **Cards Required**: Drop Whale + Fire Fly
	+ AP Cost: 2000
