[edit]Story
In the ecologically-minded city of Futo (風都 Fūto, the "Windy City"), there are many windmills and the people live in harmony. However, the Sonozaki Family sell mysterious devices resembling USB flash drives called Gaia Memories to criminals and other interested parties who use them to become monsters called Dopants, committing crimes with the police force powerless to stop them. To make matters worse, the Gaia Memories they use cause them to crave more power that the devices give them, up to the point where they could die from the life-threatening devices. After the death of his boss, the hardboiled (or rather half-boiled) detective Shotaro Hidari works with the mysterious Philip, who possesses the true Gaia Memory. Using their own Gaia Memories, Shotaro and Philip use the Double Driver belts to transform and combine into Kamen Rider Double to fight the Dopant menace.[2][7]
