“ I’m Kamen Rider Gaim. Umm… What’s the best way to explain this? I’m currently a space god… I guess? „

Summary

Kouta Kazuraba (葛葉 紘汰 Kazuraba Kōta) was once an earnest and cheerful young adult who after many hardships and struggles, obtained the power of the Golden Fruit and became the Man of the Beginning. He is a former member of Team Gaim who discovers a Sengoku Driver by accident and transforms into Armored Rider Gaim (アーマードライダー鎧武 [ガイム] Āmādo Raidā Gaimu), later embracing the title Kamen Rider Gaim (仮面ライダー鎧武 [ガイム] Kamen Raidā Gaimu, lit. "Armored Warrior") in his future appearances. After defeating Lord Baron and becoming the the one worthy of obtaining the Golden Fruit, Kouta finally evolves into the Man of the Beginning.

It fires a laser from a tulip emblem in-between the guns, which created a Crack. It also has a turbine in the front below the laser, allowing it to blow away most anything. On the locking arm is a scanning lens, designed to help search for targets.
    • Rose Attacker: Gaim's unused Rider Machine, which is given to Decade to get Shu Aoi escape with him while Gaim prevents Fifteen from taking his son away from the lighthouse where Saki Aoi is.

Intelligence: Gifted (Kouta is a surprisingly skilled combatant, proving to be a very capable Armoured Rider time and time again. Despite struggling early into his first fight given the abruptness of it, he was able to adjust fast enough to where he could pull off advanced weapon maneuvers and block a large Inves' attacks twice without actually seeing them. Avoided turret fire from Tulip Hoopers that surrounded and outnumbered him. Came out victorious during his assault on Yggdrasil Tower, in which he avoided numerous enemy projectiles at once, strategically destroyed the tower's security systems, and took out an army of Kurokage Troopers. Has fought evenly with Baron and defeated him twice during one-on-one duels. In their final battle, Gaim cleverly landed the killing blow by breaking apart Kaito's sword and using the broken piece to pierce him. Even when fighting without lethal intent, Kouta was superior to, and bested Mitsuzane in combat while the latter was fighting as Zangetsu Shin. Almost earned an early victory against the Overlord known as Demushu, only being interrupted by Marika, with Baron pointing out this interruption was a foolish decision; Overlords are intelligent enough to read and understand books written in unfamiliar languages just for the sake of "killing time". Could fight on par with Bujin Gaim, an alternate version of himself that viewed as the strongest amongst the other feudal lords known as Bujin Riders, having dominated them to achieve his goal of conquering the world. After gaining access to a larger arsenal through Kiwami Arms, Kouta was capable of masterfully wielding weapons he had never used before. His quick thinking allowed him to act fast enough to summon his Dandeliner mid-fall, as well as react to an opponent lunging at him after teleporting, managing to create a spear and block just in time. Kouta has often showcased notable adaptation capabilities when piloting vehicles, capable of expertly driving a prototype vehicle totted as "the latest tech". When driving the Sakura Hurricane while being chased, he sliced through a tree without looking, causing it to fall into the way of his pursuer. The first time piloting a Tulip Hopper, Gaim managed to outmaneuver and outsmart four Kurokage Troopers operating their own with notable finesse, even with the latter group having more experience using said mechs. Efficiently piloted a Dandeliner during his attack on Yggdrasil Tower and left on it using only his legs to operate it, maintaining perfect balance), Nigh-Omniscience as the Man of the Beginning (Has merged with all of existence, which gives him unlimited knowledge)

Weaknesses: Nothing notable

Note: As the Man of the Beginning, Kouta's power applies to his Rider Forms. The reason he does this is so he can utilize the abilities and versatility of his Rider Forms in correlation with the Man of the Beginning's power. Along with this, Kiwana Arms grant him higher levels of AP and durability.
