Dopant (Kamen Rider)

The Dopants (ドーパント Dōpanto) are the fictional antagonists in the Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider W. Dopants are normal humans who use Gaia Memories. The Gaia Memories are aspects of the true Gaia Memory (地球の記憶 Chikyū no Kioku), the knowledge of everything on the Earth. These were originally accessed due to Philip's link to the Gaia Memory by means of the Gaia Library (地球（ほし）の本棚 Hoshi no Hondana). But after he was taken from them, the Sonozaki Family uses a strange temple underneath their mansion to access the Gaia Memory. They then sell these to the highest bidder or to common criminals, both types used as guinea pigs to study the Gaia Memories as part of the Gaia Impact project. The name comes from the English words "dopant" and "doping".

Gaia Memories

A Gaia Memory (ガイアメモリ Gaia Memori) is a mysterious device resembling a USB flash drive that contains all of the Earth's knowledge of what it represents. This enables its user to become a Dopant, or in some special cases a Kamen Rider. Every Gaia Memory is adorned with the first letter of its name, stylized to reflect the powers it imbues on its user. For example, the Injury Memory (acquired by Shotaro and Philip before the series begins) resembles a broken bone in the shape of the letter I. Each Memory also features a button which when clicked causes the Memory to loudly declare its name; while this is traditionally done immediately before inserting the Memory by Riders and Dopants alike, it is unclear if it is actually mandatory to activate the Memory's powers. In order to transform into a Dopant, the Gaia Memory is first inserted into a device called the L.C.O.G (Living Connector Setting Operation Gun (生体コネクタ設置手術器 Seitai Konekuta Setchi Shujutsu Ki)), also called a Connect Shooter (コネクトシューター Konekuto Shūtā), which then produces a USB port-like tattoo on the user's skin called a Living Connector (生体コネクタ Seitai Konekuta). Whenever the Gaia Memory is pressed onto the Living Connector, it enters the user's body and transforms the user into a Dopant. Use of a Gaia Memory without a Living Connector is possible, but the side effects of doing so are nearly fatal.

This direct insertion will eventually drive its user insane from its addictive influence, which is why special belts called Memory Drivers (メモリドライバー Memori Doraibā) have been developed for use by high-ranking members of the museum to filter out these and other side effects. This weakens the Dopant visibly; high-ranking Museum members use some of the strongest Gaia Memories to more than compensate for this weakening. Kamen Riders utilize Gaia Memories that have been refined such that they can only be used in specialized Memory Driver belts. This refinement makes them resemble USB drives, rather than the ribcage design on Dopant Gaia Memories, but further weakens the power of the Memories, only allowing access to the Memory's full power during a Maximum Drive. However, despite their Memories not being as strong as unrefined ones, they are able to utilize multiple Gaia Memories at once, instead of only one like most Dopants. In some cases, a Gaia Memory may be compatible with its user which, in that case, direct insertion will not corrupt the user and may even make the Dopant even stronger.

To defeat a Dopant, a Kamen Rider has to use one of his Maximum Drive (マキシマムドライブ Makishimamu Doraibu) finishing attacks to forcefully eject and destroy the Gaia Memory, resulting in what is called a Memory Break (メモリブレイク Memori Bureiku). Evolved Gaia Memories require a direct strike on its location within the Dopant's body to execute the Memory Break without the risk of killing the user. If the Dopant does not have a Living Connector, a Memory Break will not occur, however the Gaia Memory will still be ejected from the user's body. In order to defeat a Dopant that uses a Memory Driver, the belt must be broken in order to defeat the Dopant and cause the Memory Break.

Other Gaia Memories seen, yet not used in the series and its related movies include Finger (フィンガー Fingā), Lightning (ライトニング Raitoningu), Key (キー Kī), Umbrella (アンブレラ Anburera), Gravitation (グラビテーション Gurabitēshon), Apple (アップル Appuru), Star (スター Sutā), Dog (ドッグ Doggu), Injury (インジャリー Injarī), Crab (クラブ Kurabu), Orange (オレンジ Orenji), Time (タイム Taimu), Zero (ゼロ Zero), Jazz (ジャズ Jazu), Ear (イア Ia), Music (ミュージック Myūjikku) Hell (ヘル Heru), You (ユー Yū), Pyramid (ピラミッド Piramiddo), Ocean (オーシャン Ōshan), and Unicorn (ユニコーン Yunikōn)

Gaia Impact

The Gaia Impact (ガイアインパクト Gaia Inpakuto) is an event that was planned by Ryubee Sonozaki to enable all humans to be made one with the Earth, the result of his fear for the certainty of humanity's future due to the extensive extinctions that he studied as a paleontologist and archaeologist. This plan began when his son Raito (Philip) died after falling into the source of the true Gaia Memory and became a data entity and conduit for its powers, enabling the production of the artificial Gaia Memories for the next nine years. After Philip was saved by Sokichi Narumi and Shotaro at the request of Shroud (Fumine Sonozaki), the Gaia Impact was halted until Philip could be retrieved. The source was then used to monitor the use of Gaia Memories, collecting their data to prepare for the Gaia Impact.

After Kamen Rider Double accesses his Xtreme form, it enables the museum to produce the Prototype Organic Information Controlling Organ Body Gaia Progressor (有機情報制御器官試作体・ガイアプログレッサー Yūki Jōhō Seigyo Kikan Shisaku Tai Gaia Puroguressā) for Ryubee's daughter Wakana based on the data, enabling her to transform from the ClayDoll Dopant into ClayDoll Xtreme and become the new conduit for the true Gaia Memory. After Ryubee convinces Philip to help with the family's plans once more after Philip discovers that he has been dead for several years, Philip is thrown into the source of the Gaia Memory once more, dissolving into data that Wakana absorbs until Shotaro stops Ryubee.

After Philip is separated from Wakana through the Xtreme Memory and Ryubee dies, Jun Kazu of Foundation X takes Wakana with the intent to convert her into data in order to upload her to one of the Foundation's satellites and have her kill all life on Earth that is incompatible with Gaia Memories. However, he must wait until her power as ClayDoll Xtreme fully resurfaces; after discovering that Philip's emotions are linked with Wakana's power level, he decides that the only course of action is to target everyone close to Philip in order to set the plans into motion. This fails when Shotaro rescues Wakana and, in the process, destroys the building and equipment necessary to cause the Gaia Impact. Afterwards, Kazu himself falls to Double, putting an end to his plan for the Gaia Impact for good. Afterwards, Foundation X stops funding Gaia Memory Research and pursuing the Gaia Impact.

In the series finale, after Wakana discovers that Philip has given up his life for her, she decides to modify the Gaia Impact to do what she believes is best for humanity; rather than making all of humanity one with the Earth or eliminate all life incompatible with Gaia Memories, she decides to sacrifice her existence to bring Philip back so he can protect the Earth with Shotaro as Kamen Rider Double.

She initially goes to the Narumi Agency for help in finding the man who gave it to her under the pretense that she wishes to have it removed, but instead she wants to be able to control the invisibility. Isaka agrees, stabilizing the Gaia Memory, only because he knows it will eventually kill her and he will be able to take it from her after she dies, giving him the power of invisibility without the Dopant transformation.

However, Rui places a monkey wrench in the scheme by framing Detective Jinno and thus start a chain of events that exposes Uesugi and thwarts his plan to kill Rui off and leave town. By then, Philip manages to pinpoint the Dopant's one weakness and defeat him through the Bicker Charge Break Maximum Drive at the jewel's eye crack in his belt. With the Jewel Memory destroyed, Satoru and Uesegi's other victims are restored to normal.

Makoto Uesugi is portrayed by Ryunosuke Kawai (河合 龍之介 Kawai Ryūnosuke).^[25]

Old

Takashi Soma (相馬 卓 Sōma Takashi) is a palm reader in Futo who Shroud gave the Old Memory to in a calculated plan to get rid of Shotaro. As the Old Dopant (オールド・ドーパント Ōrudo Dōpanto), Soma took on the name of the Ager (ふけさせや Fukesaseya), offering to age any person his customer hates for the right price, taking delight in his work. In his Dopant form, the Ager uses Old Creak (オールドクリーク Ōrudo Kurīku), an ooze similar to the Terror Dopant's Terror Field, to age his target. By turning around, the Old Dopant can switch from the rust-colored form he uses the Old Creak in to a patina-colored faster form that is geared towards combat. Although Shroud states that only the power of Kamen Rider W CycloneAccel Xtreme can defeat the Old Dopant, Accel holds the Dopant for Double CycloneJoker Xtreme to make a direct hit while in his aging state. When the Old Dopant assumes his fighting mode, Accel uses the Machine Gun Slasher to defeat the Old Dopant.

Takashi Soma is portrayed by Masakazu Azuhata (小豆畑 雅一 Azuhata Masakazu).^[26]

T2 Dopants

In the movie Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate, the Dopants use T2 Gaia Memories, 26 special Gaia Memories developed by Foundation X based on Fumine Sonozaki's findings. Though originally in the possession of Jun Kazu before giving it to another member of the Foundation to take to their headquarters, the six of the T2 Gaia Memories end up in the possession of mysterious terrorist group NEVER while the rest are scattered across Futo. Unlike the original Gaia Memories, these memories appear to have some sentience, injecting themselves into people who are compatible with them (Watcherman and Santa-chan becoming the T2 Violence and IceAge Dopants) or causing a Living Connector to appear on someone's skin (Queen). There are also T2 Nasca and Weather Dopants. They are all individually flight-capable, and can be summoned to and from one location with the T2 Zone Memory's Maximum Drive. Further, the T2 Memories are extremely resistant to destruction, as a normal Memory Break does nothing to impede their functionality. All 26 T2 Memories are destroyed at the climax of the film by Kamen Rider Double CycloneJokerGoldXtreme.

The Gaia Memories in the movie are Accel, Bird, Cyclone, Dummy, Eternal, Fang, Gene, Heat, IceAge, Joker, Key (キー Kī), Luna, Metal, Nasca, Ocean, Puppeteer, Queen, Rocket (ロケット Roketto), Skull, Trigger, Unicorn, Violence, Weather, Xtreme, Yesterday, and Zone.

Hyper Battle DVD Dopants

Oyakodon

In the Hyper Battle DVD, Izo Aida (相田 伊三 Aida Izō), the master of the OmuriFu omelette rice shop owned by his daughter Eriko, transforms into the Oyakodon Dopant (オヤコドン・ドーパント Oyakodon Dōpanto); his Gaia Memory possessing the combined powers of both the Egg Memory (エッグメモリ Eggu Memori) and the Chicken Memory (チキンメモリ Chikin Memori). Initially known as the "Donburi Dopant" (丼ドーパント Donburi Dōpanto), Izo attacks the Fuumen stand so that Omuri Fu becomes Futo's number one eating establishment and over powers Double and Accel when they meddle. But once Philip discovers the Dopant's true nature, Double CycloneJoker Xtreme defeats the Dopant with the Bicker Charge Break Maximum Drive. Luckily, the master of Fuumen decides not to press charges against Izo, having him work at his stand to pay back for the damages and help him start anew. Aida's transformation into the Oyakodon Dopant reflects Double's transformation sequence with the words "Fuwafuwa" (ふわふわ, Fluffy) and "Juicy" (ジューシー Jyūshī) appearing.

The design of the Oyakodon Dopant is based on the winning entry of a Dopant drawing contest for Televi-Kun magazine and the Oyakodon Memory is based on the CycloneJoker Memory that came with the July issue of Televi-kun.

Izo Aida is portrayed by Hiroshi (ヒロシ).
