Kouta Kazuraba (Kamen Rider Gaim)

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He's a very loving/compassionate man who cares for the well being of others, even willing to sacrifice his humanity to protect the world.
 * 2) His rivalry with Kaito Kumon/Kamen Rider Baron makes for one of the best duos/enemies in the franchise.
 * 3) Him also dealing with his best friend (Mitsuzane Kureshima/Kamen Rider Ryugen) going down a path of evil is really tragic to watch.
 * 4) A lot of his suits are very well designed, with his most popular being his super form, Kachidoki Arms.
 * 5) Despite limited reactions, he works well in and out of suit with Haruto Soma/Kamen Rider Wizard, being one of the best parts about their teamup movie.
 * 6) *He also got to team up with Shinnosuke Tomari/Kamen Rider Drive.
 * 7) His actor, Gaku Sano, is very likable and was able to retain Kouta's personality flawlessly throughout the franchise, especially the last three seasons of the Heisei Era.
 * 8) To top it all off, Kouta can also be extremely funny, a couple of his most memorable moments are,
 * 9) *Sneaking around a trash can transformed as Gaim.
 * 10) *Smiling while transforming as Gaim, (at least initially).
 * 11) *Hissing at Oren, for insulting his zodiac as well as rejecting him from Charmant.
 * 12) *and Using his newly found powers, within his part time jobs.

The ONLY Bad Quality

 * 1) He was pretty annoying in the Gaim Movies (Most notably Kamen Rider Gaim: Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup! and Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen) due to their awful scripts and handling.
