Main article: List of Kamen Rider Kabuto characters

The story revolves around a man named Soji Tendo. He has trained seven years while waiting for the Kabuto Zecter so that he may properly take up the name of Kamen Rider Kabuto. Making many enemies while at the same time meeting other Riders with mysterious origins of how they got there, Tendo attempts to accomplish his goal at all costs: destroying all Worms that otherwise threaten humanity. He meets Arata Kagami, who later becomesKamen Rider Gatack, the two work together to save humanity from the alien Worms that arrived from a meteorite seven years ago.

[edit]Masked Rider System

Zecters (ゼクター Zekutā^?), also known as the Masked Rider System (マスクドライダーシステム Masukudo Raidā Shisutemu^?), are a compilation of mobile systems that affect space/time. They were created by the Natives, a species of Worm that arrived on Earth 35 years ago. These Natives in turn gave the Zecters to humans so that they may protect them from alien Worms that would arrive later. The Zecters appear instantaneously from the ZECT headquarters to the selected personnel so that they may transform into the respective Rider to fight any Worms in the vicinity. Each Rider (except for the Hopper Riders and the Movie-exclusive Riders) possessed two forms such as the bulky armored cocoon-like Masked Form (マスクドフォーム Masukudo Fōmu^?) and the sleeker Rider Form (ライダーフォーム Raidā Fōmu^?) which can use the Clock Up (クロックアップ Kurokku Appu^?), a system that allows the Rider to move at high speed. They also have the ZECTroopers to help them.

There are eight known Zecters within the Kamen Rider System, each allowing the user to become a different Rider.

• Kamen Rider Kabuto
• Kamen Rider TheBee
• Kamen Rider Drake
• Kamen Rider Sasword
• Kamen Rider Gatack
• Kamen Rider KickHopper
• Kamen Rider PunchHopper
• Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto

There also exist two other Zecters known as the Perfect Zecter and the Hyper Zecter. The Perfect Zecter serves as a primary weapon while the Hyper Zecter is a power-up device that enhances the powers of the original Zecter. Both were only used by Kabuto in the series, but Gattack got to use the Hyper Zecter in the Hyper Battle DVD.
