Yui Kanzaki
A 19 year old woman who had been aiding Ren prior to the
series. Yui's purpose for joining Ren is to find clues
about her long lost brother Shiro. After Yui and Shiro
were separated as children, Yui grew up in Aunt Sanako's
Tea House, Atori. Yui can walk safely in the Mirror
World, though she does collapse after a while. She can
control the Mirror Monsters and later, began to pixelate
in the real world. When she was 7, she fell out of the
chair while she was drawing. When Shiro panicked and
called for their parents, they ignored him and left the
door locked. Yui's mirror reflection offered to give her
a new life, but explained to Shiro that this life would
run out when Yui became twenty. Yui remembers almost
nothing about their parents, who were killed when the
house caught fight after the first mirror-breach. Yui,
once she learned the price of her life, could not bear
that her life was at the cost of so many others. She then
was determined to make herself disappear. She could still
have been saved, but in the end of the TV series, it was
Yui's wish that came true. When Shiro would have started
the whole sequence of time again, she took them out of
the equation. Shiro and Yui Kanzaki died in 1989. They
moved into the Mirror World, to live with their adult
Mirror World reflections. |

Shiro Kanzaki
He is Yui's beloved older brother. Yui used to be made
fun of by kids because of her belief of mirror monsters,
and he protected her. When their parents died because of
a fire caused by a monster breach, Shiro was taken in by
their mother's sister in America. He was dragged in into
the taxi. Before his parents died, Yui died and he
accepted for her to live thanks to her mirror duplicate
until she became 20. He swore he'd save her. He became a
scientific genius in America, creating the Kamen Rider
Card Deck. He opened the Mirror World and it killed him.
I suspect that the one we see most of the time is Shiro
Kanzaki's Mirror World self. Shiro was determined to save
Yui, knowing what would happen to her. Though thought to
be cruel for manipulating the Riders and pushing them to
fight, Kanzaki's intent for the Rider war is for his
sister's life. The Riders hear his voice in the depths of
their minds. He stirs the violence in their nature, calls
them to fight. Shinji resists on a subconscious level,
because Kanzaki did not choose him to be a Rider. In the
finale of the TV series, Shiro would have started the
whole sequence of time again, she took them out of the
equation. Shiro and Yui Kanzaki died in 1989. They moved
into the Mirror World, to live with their adult Mirror
World reflections. |

Sanako Kanzaki
Yui and Shiro's father's sister, Sanako owns the Tea
House, Atori. Sanako considers herself to be a wise woman
and says that her intuition is never wrong. Aunt Sanako
is a bit of an eccentric. She's currently saving up money
for a trip to the Amazon. She loves Yui tremendously. She
took an immediate dislike for the hard as nails Ren, but
welcomed the clumsy Shinji with open arms. And since he
was looking for a place to stay, she figured he could
move in there and work there to be around in order to
dislodge Yui from Ren. Unfortunately Shinji was clumsy so
Ren stepped right in and was impeccable employee.
Grudgingly, Sanako decided to keep them both. |

Reiko Momoi
Reiko Momoi is 24 and she's a dedicated journalist at ORE
Journal. She pursues the vanished people with tenacity,
even willing to consider the mirrors were related. She
even went after Asakura and got suckered by him into
bringingin his baby brother. She is determinedly ignoring
Kitaoka's attempts to try to date her because he would
alienate her. She pursued the disappearing people and
eventually discovered their connection with Shiro
Kanzaki, including his connection with the monsters and
the Mirror World. Later on, she discovered that Shinji
was a Kamen Rider. Megumi and Shimada begun pushing Reiko
to accept his requests for dates, but were sworn to
secrecy about his cancer. |

Daisuke Okubo
Chief Editor of the Open Resource Evolution Journal. He
is 36 and lives to be unconventional. He likes to be
surrounded by the few eccentrics he has hired. He
encourages them, basically lets them go their own way. He
had the ignoble experience of having Ore Journal briefly
taken over by that snappy young computer hacker, Jun
Shibaura. But he survived the experience with dignity
merely ruffled. |

Nanako Shimada
Nanako Shimada, 23 years-old systems engineer and
web-site designer of the ORE Journal. She's quite
talented, adores computers and gets along better with
them than with humans. She also has a slight crush on
Shinji. |

Megumi Asano
Formerly Kitaoka's ex-secretary, she returned into his
life claiming that the two of them were to be married. He
almost got married to her because she lied about dying.
Megumi is a strong individual and quite capable in a
fight, however she is quite ditzy, which was why Kitaoka
had fired her. She would later be hired by Daisuke as a
journalist for ORE. She once witnessed Shinji walk out of
a glass window once. She makes Shimada upset at first but
they appear to be becoming friends. Shimada and Megumi
successfully managed to drag Kitaoka and Goro off for an
evening of drunken Karaoke. She wants to be a journalist. |

himself from the Mirror Monsters. But once he loses the
card, Ejima ran back to his lab to plea Kanzaki to help
him as he's attacked by a Terabiter. Though saved from
the monster, Ejima dies of a heart attack as he sees Yui
and laments that she should have never been born. |
