He was also briefly Kamen Rider G3-X (仮面ライダーＧ（ジー）３（スリー）-Ｘ（エックス）, Kamen Raidā Jī Surī Ekkusu, Masked Rider G3-X).
History[]
Background[]
His real name is Tetsuya Sawaki (沢木 哲也, Sawaki Tetsuya), the younger brother of Yukina Sawaki who fell in love with the real Shoichi Tsugami. Yukina and Tsugami participated in a research study conducted by Prof. Nobuyuki Kazaya (Mana's father) on human paranormal abilities. Yukina found herself as the subject for the study as she possessed such capabilities. The two pursued a romantic relationship, but as her powers matured (showing evidence of her awakening as an Agito), she committed suicide. After hearing of his sister's suicide, Tetsuya attempted to contact Tsugami, with his search leading him aboard a ferry called the Akatsuki.
Unaware at the time that Tsugami himself had committed suicide, Tetsuya searched for him to no avail. Instead, he discovers the lifeless body of a young man, who eventually reveals himself as the Overlord of Light. The deity, sensing his brother had sent one of his emissaries to the boat, awakened Tetsuya as the second Agito before vanishing, just as the El of Water arrives. The El assaults Tetsuya, sensing his churning power, but just as the final blow was about to be dealt, Tetsuya transformed into Agito for the first time. The ensuing battle ended with Tetsuya being tossed overboard, where he was labeled "lost-at-sea" by the authorities. But, Tetsuya had survived and washed ashore but was left with amnesia. He would be found by a trio of schoolgirls and brought to the hospital to be cared for by Dr. Azuma Kunieda, and going by the name on the letter in his possession, he assumed the alias of Shoichi Tsugami, who had died at the time.
Now Shoichi, Tetsuya would be placed under Dr. Kunieda's care for some time until he was transferred to Misugi. There he would live a quiet, somewhat normal life, with no cares of whether he'll remember his past or not. That was until the presence of the Jaguar Lord Panthras Letus re-awakened him as Agito. However, Shoichi was in a feral state of mind at the time, attacking G3 only to regain himself before he could land the deathblow. The incident left Shoichi fearful about the changes, but the fact he has a place he belonged to gave him the courage to use his new found power to protect those he befriended, with Mana the only one in the Misugi household to know of Shoichi's transformation. By accident, Shoichi cross paths with Tomoko Miura, one of the Akatsuki's surviving members who later called him to meet her the next day at East Park for the answers he's looking for. However, due to Tomoko being murdered, Shoichi never meets her, resulting in him being arrested on the charge of her murder until he was eventually cleared when Mana pointed Hikawa to the actual culprit, the Overlord.
On the day of Mana's birthday, Shoichi attempts to protect her from the Scorpion Lord Leiurus Acutia, only to be poisoned as a result. Fortunately, he was cured in time and eventually kills the Unknown. Later on, by chance, Shoichi momentarily recovers his memory after his fall into the reservoir during his battle with Gills, recovering a large portion of his memories and facing Tetsuya. The recovered memories were enough for Shoichi to access his Trinity Form but eventually his amnesia returned before he could make any progress. After countless battles, Shoichi would come face-to-face once again with the El of the Water, who stalked him at every juncture. The anxiety and fear of confronting his 'killer' ultimately broke his fighting spirit. But with the help of Mana, Shoichi rekindled his bravery and assumed the ferocious Burning Form and defeat the El.
Coping with his constantly evolving powers proved difficult at first. When his old caretaker, Dr. Kunieda, came to pay a visit Shoichi transformed into Agito Burning Form, losing his composure in a fit of rage, and inadvertently attacks Dr. Kunieda. The shame of the accident weighed heavy on Shoichi's soul as he fell into self-loathing, sulking over his actions. But thanks to Dr. Kunieda's tough love, he was able to cast his shame aside and arise to embrace his existence as an Agito. Dr. Kunieda's words served as a reminder to stay true to himself and the value of his life, which gave him the clarity of mind and heart to achieve Shining Form and defeat the Beetle Lord. This new conviction and form would prove essential when the El of the Water returns more powerful than before. Its presence enabled Shoichi to recover his memory and, in their final encounter, finally destroy his nemesis once and for all.
After recovering his memory and tells his past and real name to his foster family, Shoichi decides to stay with them and continue to live as Shoichi Tsugami. Everything went smoothly until Mana tries to ask Shoichi about her dead father because Shoichi is the last person that her father met before he died. These series of events finally reveal a shocking truth, that Shoichi's sister is the one that killed Mana's father, Nobuyuki Kazaya; though by accident, because she could not control the Agito power. This is leading to Shoichi beginning to doubt the Agito power inside him and making him believe that he should be amnesiac forever. Things keep getting worse when Mana finally begins to hate him, this finally causes Shoichi to not wanting the Agito power anymore and willingly relinquishing it to the Overlord.
Despite this, however, Shoichi couldn't let the Lords continue their killings as Ericius Liquor begins to targeting Mana. Shoichi then accidentally gets hit by the Lord’s quill but was successfully saved by Kino before the wound kills him. Shoichi and the gang arrived at the scene to be confronted by the Overlord who chooses to kill all of them. Mana, who had learned the truth from Ryo, encourages Shoichi to once again fight as Agito, as he runs to the Overlord and able to land a punch on him through Hikawa's aid. Shoichi, along with Ryo and Kino, finally regains their respective powers. And together they defeat the Hedgehog Lord.
Sometime after, he bumps into his old cooking teacher, Kuramoto, who offered a job to work in his restaurant. With supernatural murders at a low, Shoichi takes the job under his mentor. While working there, he meets Kana, a distant reclusive young lady who dreams of succeeding as a chef in honor of her father. But Kana begins showing signs of becoming an Agito herself. Unable to comprehend the change, she tries to commit suicide, much like Shoichi's sister. History begins to repeat itself, with Shoichi holding onto Kana for dear life. But just as he is about to give up, Tetsuya Sawaki, the real Shoichi Tsugami, and Yukina's resurrected former lover comes to his aid and helps Shoichi pull Kana to safety; while simultaneously redeeming himself for not saving Yukina from the same fate long ago. The group then shortly confronted by the El of Earth, Shoichi then transforms in front of Kana and pleads he will fight for himself, for humanity and for the Agito's.
Continuing to fight the El, Agito is overwhelmed by the Lord in Ground and Burning Form, but able to fatally wound the El in Shining Form. Agito then followed the escaped El and discovers the Overlord, who's trying to kill all humans. He's then overwhelmed by the combined efforts of strengthened El of Earth and El of Wind, by the time both Hikawa and Ryo appears to aid him, Shoichi assumes Agito Shining Form one last time and steps into final battle to reclaim humanity's fate from the Overlord. After easily defeating the El of Earth with the Shining Rider Kick, Agito then continues to attack the Overlord, causing a great explosion with the fate of both are not known. However, Shoichi is proven to be alive. In the series epilogue, Shoichi opens his own restaurant named the Agito.

Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3
[]
Due to the timeline alteration caused by Shocker, Shoichi became one of the brainwashed Riders in that timeline, donning the name of Shocker Rider Agito. Alongside Hibiki and Decade, Hibiki joined Skyrider, Super-1, ZX and the Shocker Combatmen against the double agent Kamen Rider 3, providing the raw power of Burning Form in a combined projectile assault before proceeding to physically overwhelm Rider 3 as he allowed Mach to escape.
On the following day, Agito was one of several Shocker Riders who volunteered in the Rider Grand Prix under Shocker Rider 3, who had been personally challenged by Kamen Rider Drive. During the race, Agito, along with Decade, OOO and Fourze, found that his Rider Machine, Machine Tornador, had been immobilized by Mach's Signal Tomarle. Though Agito soon moved on, he was ultimately knocked out of the race alongside Wizard as his Machine was struck by missiles fired by Rider 3's TriCyclone. Though Agito himself was retrieved by the Dream Vegas Shift Tire brought forth by the heroic Drive's Tridoron, he fell short of the Top 2 in which Drive prevailed over Rider 3.
Once Rider 3 was integrated into the Great Leader of Shocker's Rider Robo form, Agito was among the Riders who attacked Drive while being caught in the crossfire as the Rider Robo joined the fray. Ultimately, the Double Riders 1 and 2 made their appearance having survived their apparent demise from within the Rider Robo, and broke Shocker's brainwashing on the fallen Riders, enabling all Riders to unite in a final battle against Shocker.
Unfortunately, Agito was among the Riders whose existence was erased by the Rider Robo. This fate, however, was rendered moot when the Rider Robo was finally destroyed by Shurikenjin Tridoron, restoring Agito's place in history.

Fighting Style[]
In contrast to his usual airheaded and bubbly self, Shoichi fought with the air of an ancient, mystic warrior, moving about in a graceful manner. Though powerful as a close-combat fighter however, Agito's lack of long-ranged weaponry can occasionally prove detrimental for Shoichi, especially against airborne foes. Making up for this is Shoichi's creativity, using both instinct and inspiration to create methods of combat.
Notably, during his brief time as G3-X, partly due to being an amnesiac, Shoichi managed to handle the 'perfect AI' of G3-X without issue, fighting with the same grace he fought with as Agito.
Shoichi only became more powerful as the series progressed, as befitting an evolving Agito. Though he only had his Trinity Form temporarily, he managed to gain the powerful Burning Form, the stress and power of which made him fight with brutal, animalistic ferocity. The culmination of this evolution was in his Shining Form, molting his Burning Form and gaining the power of the sun.
When Shoichi performs his finishers, "Crest Horns" open up on his weapons. In Ground and Trinity Form, his head horns split open to reveal two extra horns. In Flame Form, this happens with his Flame Sabers.

Trinity Form (トリニティフォーム, Toriniti Fōmu) is Agito's upgrade form accessed when Shoichi Tsugami briefly recovered his memory. It combines the powers and strengths of Ground Form, Storm Form, and Flame Form. In this form, Agito can wield both the Storm Halberd and the Flame Saber, as well as execute their respective finishing attacks.
When Shoichi once again loses his memory, the power of the Trinity Form was lost. However, he would eventually regain his memories permanently and is now able to access this form once again, as seen in Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen and Kamen Rider Zi-O.
Trinity Form has two finishers.
- Rider Shoot (ライダーシュート, Raidā Shūto): Agito delievers a powerful drop kick attack infused with the powers of Storm and Flame Form.

Special Attacks
Burning Form (バーニングフォーム, Bāningu Fōmu) is Agito's super form, first accessed when Shoichi learns to channel his fighting spirit into power. Its incredible power is difficult to control and damages the body, incapacitating Shoichi before he mastered it. Burning Form amplifies and translates Agito's fury into power. Thus, Burning Form's power increases as Agito becomes more enraged. Burning Form is also shown to be able to produce jets of flame to attack the enemy. Burning Form's punching power is greater than any of Agito's previous forms, and its kicking power is equal to Trinity Form. However, its jumping height and running speed are the lowest of all of Agito's forms.
Burning Form equips Agito with the Shining Caliber (シャイニングカリバー, Shainingu Karibā), which he wields in its Single Mode (シングルモード, Shinguru Mōdo), a dual-blade sword.
Burning form has the following parts:
- Compound Eyes (コンパウンドアイズ, Konpaundo Aizu): Agito has 3 times the visual acuity of Ground Form and can identify a human face standing 30km away.
- Burning Chest (バーニングチェスト, Bāningu Chesuto): Armor to suppress the power of the flame that burns throughout the upper body. The veins that can be seen all over the body are gathered near the Wiseman Monolith on the chest, so that self-destruction caused by internal energy is suppressed.
- Arm Attack Shield (アームアタックシールド, Āmu Atakku Shīrudo): Part of the reinforced skeleton to protect the wrists. It absorbs the tremendous impact caused by the "Burning Rider Punch".
- Arms Cutter (アームズカッター, Āmuzu Kattā): The sharp blades on the left and right forearms. They are strong enough to cut steel plates with a thickness of 30 cm.
- Burning Arm (バーニングアーム, Bāningu Āmu): A fist that is always hot. To release the “Burning Rider Punch”, the energy of the flame power is concentrated here.
- Burning Leg (バーニングレッグ, Bāningu Reggu): Red and strengthened leg. When executing the "Burning Rider Punch", the power of the whole body is supported and it plays an important role as a spring.
- Toe Armor (トゥアーマー, To~u Āmā): Red toe armor. The tremendous impact and surplus energy generated by executing the "Burning Rider Punch" are released from here.
Burning Form has two finishers.
- Burning Rider Punch (バーニングライダーパンチ, Bāningu Raidā Panchi): Agito executes a flaming punch attack to the enemy.
- Burning Bomber (バーニングボンバー, Bāningu Bonbā): With the Shining Caliber Single Mode, Agito delivers a flaming slash to the enemy.

Special Attacks
Shining Form (シャイニングフォーム, Shainingu Fōmu) is Agito's final form, awoken when Agito mastered the power of Burning Form and saw the light of the sun. Although Shining Form's punching power is decreased compared to Burning Form, all of Agito's other stats are heightened, making Shining Form Agito's most powerful form.
Like Burning Form, Shining Form equips Agito with Shining Caliber. However, he wields it in its Twin Mode (ツインモード, Tsuin Mōdo), separating it into a pair of twin swords.
Shining form has the following parts:
- Compound Eyes (コンパウンドアイズ, Konpaundo Aizu): Agito Has 3.5 times the visual acuity of Ground Form and can identify a human face standing 35km away.

Shining Form has three finishers.
- Shining Rider Kick (シャイニングライダーキック, Shainingu Raidā Kikku): A stronger version of Ground Form's Rider Kick that launches Agito forward at extreme speeds through a large energy-formed Agito crest mid-air. He can performed it without crest as well. [Kamen Rider Decade: Protect! The World of Televikun]
- During the final battle, Agito summoned up to two crests lined up together to be used in the attack. This finisher is named as Strengthened Shining Rider Kick (強化シャイニングライダーキック, Kyōka Shainingu Raidā Kikku):
- In Movie War 2010, it was shown that Shining Form can also perform the Shining Rider Punch (シャイニングラライダーパンチ, Shainingu Raidā Panchi), a haymaker punch that covered in white flash energy.
- Shining Clash (シャイニングクラッシュ, Shainingu Kurasshu): With the Shining Caliber Twin Mode, Agito can charges the Shining Caliber with white energy and performed a powerful Rider Slash.
- Agito delievers simultaneous slashes to the enemy. When this version is performed, the background will turns into a pure white area.
- Agito delievers two poweful slashes to the enemy, before he stabs and pulling out the Shining Caliber from enemy's body. He then finish off the enemy with final slash.

The Generation-3 eXtension is an upgrade to the G3-System developed by Sumiko Ozawa in order to address G3's failure to effectively combat Lords. G3-X offers a drastic improvement in combat ability, allowing it to fight on more even ground. However, its most notable addition is an on-board AI to assist the operator. However, the AI's implementation was revealed to be seriously flawed. The AI's calculations, though perfect, required precise coordination and synchronization with the suit's motor functions. If the operator could not coordinate with the AI, G3-X would act erratically by itself and damage the user's body in the process. To address this issue, a new control chip with a less advanced AI was installed to make the suit less demanding.
In addition to the standard GM-01 Scorpion, G3-X's main armament is the new GX-05 Kerberos, a powerful vulcan gun that allows for modular customization. It can be equipped with a scope or docked with the Scorpion and converted to a missile launcher. For close combat, G3-X replaces the Destroyer with the GK-06 Unicorn, an electromagnetic combat knife stored on the left arm.

Relationships[]
- Makoto Hikawa: Tsugami is really close to Makoto and for Makoto himself, Tsugami is someone who is strongly reliable. During their first encounter as Riders, Tsugami attacked Makoto for an unknown reason and Makoto would do the same during the trial of G3-X. However, Tsugami and Makoto trusted each other as riders soon even before they learned of their rider's identity after Makoto explained on how he felt on using G3-X.
- Ryo Ashihara: Tsugami is not close to Ryo and they were initially enemies towards each other because of a misunderstanding during the death of Ryo's second girlfriend who was killed by Queen Jaguar Lord and Tsugami happened to be close to her corpse. After Ryo had learned about Tsugami more, he became his ally in the end. They are only meeting each other mostly when they were encountering Lords.
- Kaoru Kino: Kaoru initially helped Tsugami on fighting a Lord, but he became an enemy to him and the other Agitos because of his ego to be the only savior humanity needed. He later stopped and became an ally in a short time, including telling Tsugami that Agito's power couldn't make people go insane and he had become an enemy due to his own ego when he was depressed and almost dying.
- Toru Hojo: Toru became his enemy as riders because Agito was considered to be the enemy of humanity. However, Toru closed his case to defeat Agito in the end.
Family[]
- Yukina Sawaki - Older sister and also the first Agito
Behind the scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Shoichi Tsugami is portrayed by Toshiki Kashu (賀集 利樹, Kashū Toshiki), who reprised his role in Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker.
As Kamen Rider Agito, his suit actor was Seiji Takaiwa (高岩 成二, Takaiwa Seiji), who went on to be the suit actor for the majority of leading Heisei Kamen Riders (except Hibiki and Agito's predecessor Kuuga).
Rider No.[]
As the leading Rider protagonist of Kamen Rider Agito, Shoichi Tsugami (Kamen Rider Agito) is labeled Kamen Rider #17 (仮面ライダー17号, Kamen Raidā Jūnanagō) and Heisei Rider #2 (平成ライダー2号, Heisei Raidā Nigō). [Quiz! Decade Countdown!!]
Etymology[]
- Tsugami translates to "Over the Harbor" the latter is possibly a reference to when Shoichi was found washed out on the beach as an amnesiac.
Notes[]
- Agito's name is sometimes spelled as AGITΩ, which can be seen from the series' main logo amongst other forms of media.
- Notably, the S.I.C. Hero Saga side story Kamen Rider Agito: Heaven's Door has a chapter entitled "The Alpha and the Omega" (ΑにしてΩ, Arufa ni shite Omega). This confirms "AGITΩ" as being spelled using the Greek letters alpha (A) and omega (Ω), which are the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet respectively. This is befitting considering the nature of Agito over the course of the series, to either begin a new age of humanity, or to mark the end of humanity itself.
- Although Shoichi is a complete Agito, he doesn't display any psychokinetic/telekinetic abilities like his late sister or any other person who has been bestowed the power of Agito. The only ability he displays without transforming is the ability to feel the presence of the Lords when they are attacking or nearby.
- It is never explained in-series whether this is a side-effect of becoming Kamen Rider Agito, or if Shoichi simply did not use these powers mentioned above.
- According to Episode 47, Shoichi's specialty is spinach soup.
- Agito's fighting stance resembles Hung Ga, one of the more widespread styles of Shaolin kung fu, with distinguishing stances and unique weapons like Daam Tiu (Storm Halberd) and Soeng Dou (Shining Caliber).
- In the All Riders vs Dai-Shocker official site, character and Rider profile pages for Agito in the movie. They mention not only Shoichi's name and actor, but also his real name, his original backstory from the TV show and the battle against the Unknown from the TV series itself.
