### Number of Session Appearances

TBA (FX (Episode ⬡(Birth))*Full list of appearances*

**Kuma** (熊 lit. "Bear") is a Caretaker-Type Humagear who was assigned to a sickly child as their core caregiver. After the child’s untimely death infront of his eyes, Kuma awakened and gained his own free will, fleeing from the family that he was owned by to protect those who couldn’t protect themselves.

On his journeys, Kuma was brought to the world of *Kamen Rider FX-2*, where he was ambushed by the Salty Bugster. He managed to flee with the help of a Den-O Belt on the ground, becoming **Kamen Rider Kikai-O** (仮面ライダー機械王, *Kamen Raidā Kikai'ō*) for the first time. He would soon find his way to working with Imagine Corp. and allowed Imagin to possess his body to fight with.

After a couple of issues, along with the awakening of his inner torment, becoming the **Ursa Phantom** (ウルサファントム, *Urusa Fantomu*), Kuma eventually found his way back to Imagine Corp. after his defection. He acquired the Forceriser and Freezing Bear Progrisekey, before transforming into **Kamen Rider Kuma** (仮面ライダー熊, *Kamen Raidā Kuma*), using his Imagin as a sort of sacrifice for his new power.

## Forms

* Kamen Rider Kikai-O
* Kamen Rider Kuma
* Ursa Phantom

* Plat
* Bow
* Spear

**Plat Form**

**Plat Form** (プラットフォーム, *Puratto Fōmu*) is Kikai-O's most basic default form undersuit, and for some time, Kuma’s default form without possession. This is due to the adverse effects of the new world on the Den-O Belt, and the difference in between both the user and the belt's frequencies.

Plat Form is a black and white form that is activated when first initiating a transformation using a Rider Pass. If the corresponding color-coded button is selected, then by swiping the Pass once more, a form change will occur.

Kuma rarely uses this form, as it does not have sufficient armor and pales in comparison to the abilities of the other forms. Only when he does not want the assistance of the Imagin does he use this form. Plat Form is designed and named after a railway platform, as a reference to the fact that Kikai-O uses his Plat Form as an armor template.

**Bow Form**

*"Bow Form!"*
―Transformation announcement[src]
When possessed by Frillessa, Kuma can assume Kikai-O's **Bow Form** (ボフォーム, *Bou Fōmu*) through the Terminal Buckle and a Rider Pass. This form is Kikai-O’s most balanced form, and as such was utilised the most. In this form, Kikai-O is armed with the KiStringer, a pink bow-like weapon that can fire energy projectiles towards Kikai-O's enemies.

This form has the following finishers:

* **Full Charge** (フルチャージ, *Furu Chāji*): By scanning the Rider Pass, Kikai-O can utilise his Full Charge attack. Kikai-O charges up their bow to full strength, before releasing a multitude of energy beams at the opponent.

**Spear Form**

*"Spear Form!"*
―Transformation announcement[src]
When possessed by Piiark, Kuma can assume Kikai-O's **Spear Form** (スピアフォーム, *Supia Fōmu*) through the Terminal Buckle and a Rider Pass. This form grants Kikai-O great offence abilities, as well as the KiSpike, a spear-like weapon, however due to Piiark's brash personality, it often will miss its mark on attacks. Due to this, this is Kikai-O's least most utilised form, even when compared to his Plat Form.

This form has the following finishers:

* **Full Charge** (フルチャージ, *Furu Chāji*): By scanning the Rider Pass, Kikai-O can utilise his Full Charge attack. Kikai-O fills his spear with electrical energy before throwing it towards his opponent of striking them right in the centre of their body.

* Forceriser
* Ark Driver

* Freezing Bear

**Freezing Bear**

*"Forcerise! Freezing Bear! Fierce breath as cold as arctic winds. Break down."*
―Transformation announcement[src]
After obtaining MetsubouJinrai Forceriser as well as the Freezing Bear Progrisekey, Kuma gave up the lives of his Imagin to gain access to a superior power within the Progrisekey, accessing his **Freezing Bear** (フリージングベアー, *Furījingu Beā*) form, the primary form of Kamen Rider Kuma.

In this form, Kuma's fighting abilities are greatly enhanced, surpassing even Kikai-O's Spear Form in regards to pure strength. This form also grants access to Kuma's Attache Knuckles, fist like weapons that can transform into a briefcase.

This form enables Kuma to deliver ice cold punches with his fists, and allows him to freeze the air and land around him when needed.

This form has the following finishers:

* **Freezing Dystopia** (フリージングディストピア, *Furījingu Disutōpīā*): This finisher is activated by Kuma pulling the lever on his driver once. Kuma releases cold air from his entire body that raises the temperature. Stamping on the ground, he sends a layer of ice towards his target and kicks upwards, causing a spike to stab itself through his enemy.
* **Freezing Utopia** (フリージングユートピア, *Furījingu Yutōpīā*): This finisher is activated by Kuma pulling the lever on his driver twice. Kuma gives off cold air from his body and creates an ice spike form on his leg, before he makes a side kick towards his opponent.
* **Freezing Kaban Jab** (フリージングカバンジャブ, *Furījingu Kaban Jabu*): Kuma inserts his Freezing Bear Progrisekey into one of his Attache Knuckles, allowing him to deliver a dangerous attack with it. Kuma releases spikes of ice from the knuckle, before using vents on the back of his suit to release cold air and push himself forward to his enemy and punch into them.

**Ark Bear**
**Ark Bear** (アークベアー, *Āku Beā*) is Kuma's final form accessed with the Ark Bear Progrisekey in the Ark Driver-Zero, converting it to a variation of Ark Driver-One.

This form was accessed by Kuma when his entire body filled with malice from his years of anger at the elders of the world, who shunned the thoughts of those younger and made a world that they couldn’t live in. His immense hatred and will to give the younger generation a world that they can live in allowed him to become the new Ark, giving him the Ark Driver and his new Progrisekey.

In this form, all of Kuma's abilities are pushed to their limits, and his strength has doubled from that of his previous form. In this form, Kuma is able to predict the movements of his opponents and counter them however he sees fit. The forms's power was that immense that he was able to take down Samero using the abilities of Kamen Rider Conquer Tiefe after only just gaining these abilities.

This form has the following finishers:

* **Freezing Dystopia** (フリージングコンクルージョン, *Furījingu Konkurūjon*: By pressing in the side of his Progrisekey, Kuma is able to unleash his finishing attack in this form. Kuma's body becomes surrounded in malicious Kanji which gives off an intense cold. The Kanji then takes the form of a giant bear as Kuma jumps into the air and kicks down with all his might, his body following along with the claw of the bear, which allows for an even more devastating attack.

**Ursa Phantom**

The **Ursa Phantom** (アーサファントム, *Āsa Fantomu*) is the form Kuma first took when his malice manifested, granting him magic and a form similar to the constellation of Ursa Major, a giant bear. Despite his plush-like appearance, the Ursa Phantom is anything but cuddly. His body is made of a mix between a jelly like substance and the outside of a teddy bear. The claw on his left arm allows him to summon either of Kikai-O’s weapons (theoretically Kuma's weapons too, if it was still in use). This from also granted Kuma access to magical abilities and a temporary access to the speed of Clock Up, which he used to combat Conquer Tiefe with other members of his group. Eventually, Kuma sacrificed this form, along with his two Imagin, to gain full mastery over the Kamen Rider Kuma abilities during his first transformation.
