Goro (G)

"Have a taste...of my mix of evil and justice flavors"

- Goro

Kamen Rider G (仮面ライダーG, Kamen Raidā Jī) was a Kamen Rider created for the 10th anniversary of the Heisei Era in the mini-production Kamen Rider G.

Origin
Goro was a guinea pig in Shade (シェード, Shēdo) for tests and was wiped of his memories. When he sees that his girlfriend Eri Hinata (Yumiko Shaku) is amongst the hostages Shade has taken, he regains his memories and turns on the Shade terrorists. Oda is forced to reveal himself as the Phylloxera Worm, and reveals that several other Shade members have been converted into Worms. Goro transforms into Kamen Rider G to take on the Worms, defeating them all save for Phylloxera who is much too strong for him.

Just then, Kamen Rider Decade and the other Heisei Kamen Riders appear to give Kamen Rider G the confidence he needs to destroy the Phylloxera Worm with his Swirling Rider Kick. As the Phylloxera Worm says in his last breath that the war is not over, Goro reunites with Eri before proclaiming he will protect the world from Shade's evil influence.

G's powers are mostly based on wine, and even his weapon is based on a bottle opener. His finisher is the Swirling Rider Kick.

His name is directly lifted from the name of the actor, Goro Inagaki.

Portrayal
Goro was portrayed by Gorō Inagaki (稲垣 吾郎) of SMAP. As Kamen Rider G, his suit actor was Jun Watanabe (渡辺 淳).
