ous protagonist of the 2010-2011 Kamen Rider Series
Kamen Rider OOO
. The name "OOO" is pronounced similarly to both "O
's", referring to the three O's in the television series' title which represent the character's transformation items, and . The three O's also represent the infinity symbol with an additional circle, stating that Kamen Rider OOO is Over (infinity
).
Kamen Rider OOO makes his debut appearance in Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate where he faces off against and defeats the Luna Dopant. An alternate spelling of the character's name is "Kamen Rider Ooz", which comes from Hyper Hobby magazine's September 2010 issue.
Returning to Japan to allegedly fund more of his world travels, Eiji's latest part-time job at the Kougami Art Museum ends due to the destruction of the museum around him while in a drugged slumber, taking a strange red coin he found as his supposed pay. This causes a disembodied arm to begin to follow him around, demanding the red coin from him which is actually a part of his being. However when attacked by a Yummy
, the arm reveals himself as Ankh of the ancient beings known as the Greeed, and the red coin is one of his Core Medals. When Eiji risks his life to rescue him, Ankh gives him two more Core Medals and the OOO Driver as means to transform into Kamen Rider OOO. After destroying the Yummy, Eiji learns more about the Greeed and Medals from Ankh, who originally intends for Eiji to be a tool for gathering Cell Medals for him. However, after the Greeed take the half dead body of Shingo Izumi for his own, Eiji manages to force Ankh into promising him that he can transform to save lives, not just to gather Cell Medals. Feeling guilty for getting Shingo involved, Eiji remains by Ankh's side as the two are joined by Shingo's little sister Hina Izumi.
Soon after facing the Greeed Kazari that Eiji is approached by the Kougami Foundation, and is offered a partnership with them in the fight against the Greeed. In the process, joined by Akira Date, Eiji learns more of the Greeed's desire to become whole and the reason why Ankh is unable to assume his complete form when Ankh(Lost) appears. However, things change when Eiji becomes a host to half of a set of purple Core Medals that react to his lack of selfish desires, the same presumed reason why he is able to use Kamen Rider OOO's powers without any sign of going berserk so far, with dangerous consequences. Though Eiji managed to keep the purple Core Medals under control and with time, even use their powers at will, they are later revealed to be slowly turning him into a Greeed, evident from the fact that he has lost his sense of taste by the time Ankh is absorbed by his other self and Shingo is now well enough to survive on his own. However, Eiji's condition worsens when the freed Ankh, with three of his Core Medals utterly destroyed with Ankh (Lost)'s destruction, forcefully possessed Shingo's body again and turned his back on Eiji. Soon after, Eiji learns from Kousei Kougami, the Foundation's owner, that the only way to counteract the purple Core Medals is to acquire a desire of his own, something he is yet capable of doing as he turns into the dinosaur-like after absorbing two more purple Core Medals forcefully inserted by Maki to have him go on a rampage.
However, it is by then that Eiji remembers that his desire is to have power, although again it is so that he can help others. He later agrees to Kougami's suggestion to absorb all of the Cell Medals in the Kougami Foundation's possession to achieve that desire. However, it does not halt Eiji's Greedification, as he sees the purple Cores as part of his powers and refuse to hand them over to Kougami, continue using them even though they consumes him. During his his final battle, he uses all the Cell Medals in his body in a risky attack that fails to destroy Maki. But before Eiji rampages as a Greeed, Ankh gives Eiji his last three Core Medals, disappearing and allowing Eiji to assume Tajadol Combo to defeat Maki, resulting in the destruction of all Core Medals along except Ankh's broken Taka Core. As Eiji falls back to the earth, Ankh appears to him as his disembodied arm, thanking him and saying his farewells, before disappearing into half of the broken Taka Medal that once held his consciousness. Saved by Kamen Rider Birth, he realized that the power that he seeks are the people that he had bonded with, and that he does not have to save people alone. He received the other half of Ankh's Core Medal that Hina found and later leaves Japan and resumes his journey around the world, unaware that a spectral Ankh arm is following him.
before him, Kamen Rider OOO has multiple combinations of powers he can access to are referred to as . Each aspect of a Combo gives Kamen Rider OOO different powers and weaknesses. In a fight, if a particular section of Kamen Rider OOO receives a significant amount of damage, the power of that section will be disrupted. If it takes further damage, the power will cut off completely and the section's corresponding Medal will be forcefully ejected from the OOO Driver, canceling the transformation. In addition, single-colored Combos are incredibly taxing on Eiji's body, as they embody the full power of the corresponding Greeed. Eventually, Eiji notes that his body is "getting used to the power", though he must still be cautious with excessive Combo use. Except for Tatoba and Tamashii Combos, the only combinations with "Combo" in their name are those of a single color. Combos are announced by the O Scanner with a short song made up of the syllables of a Combo's name, a quirk Ankh advises Eiji to ignore.
Kougami tells Eiji Hino that he is actually the second to be Kamen Rider OOO, with Ankh later stating that only Eiji can be the current Kamen Rider OOO as he was the one who undid the seal of the OOO Driver. Ankh later revealed that the was a king in Europe 800 years ago. However, because of his desire for godhood, the power warped the first OOO's mind before he was overwhelmed by desire while using the powers of all the Core Medals at once, thus turning his body into a stone coffin which sealed the Greeed. But due to his lack of personal desire, Eiji is theorized by Kougami to be capable of making such a transition into becoming a living god.

A sixth set of 10 purple-colored Core Medals is later revealed, embodiments of hollowness that destroy desire and can actually shatter the other five Core Medal types. Five of these Medals enter Eiji's body when they sense his lack of desire, allowing him to sense a Yummy while slowly turning him into a Greeed. However, the purple Core Medals are utterly destroyed alongside all Core Medals when Maki implodes and produces a black hole that sucks them and all the other Core Medals with only Ankh's broken Taka Medal remaining.

While the body of a Greeed is a physical amalgamation of Cell Medals, it is unclear how many Cell Medals actually make up the form, as Ankh was able to make a payment of 100 to the Kougami Foundation, far more than his apparent size would contain. Furthermore, as shown with the Greeed's harvesting of Cell Medals and then Eiji when he absorbed Kougami's entire reserve, the Cell Medals can increase one's natural abilities to near invincibility.

, also known as the , is Kamen Rider OOO's purple combination using the powers of the purple Core Medals that forced themselves into Eiji's body: Ptera, Torikera, and Tyranno. Though it is the most powerful form that Kamen Rider OOO can assume, it originally turns Eiji into a mindless beast who attacks friend and foe alike as soon as the combo is activated.

To transform into Kamen Rider OOO, Eiji inserts three Core Medals into the , turns the O Slater on the , scans the Core Medals with the O Scanner, and then holds the O Scanner up to his chest. According to Ankh, because it was Eiji who undid the seal on the OOO Driver itself, it will only work on him and no one else. However, someone else can perform the physical action of scanning Medals for Eiji as long as he is wearing the OOO Driver.O Scanner
The is a device that is able to read the energy found within O Medals.

Each Greeed has a specific shade of color that their Core Medals come in: Ankh's Core Medals are red, Uva's are green, Kazari's are yellow, Gamel's are gray, and Mezool's are blue. In the beginning, after stealing some from his fellow Greeed, Ankh holds many of the Core Medals and gives them to Eiji when he wants him to fight as Kamen Rider OOO. Later, Ankh gives Eiji the Taka, Tora, and Batta Medals so he can defend himself when Ankh is not around. However, seeing Eiji's first use of the Latorartar Combo as reckless, Ankh takes the Core Medals back, stating he should have never given them to Eiji in the first place.A sixth set of 10 purple-colored Core Medals is later revealed, embodiments of hollowness that destroy desire and can actually shatter the other five Core Medal types. Five of these Medals enter Eiji's body when they sense his lack of desire, allowing him to sense a Yummy while slowly turning him into a Greeed. However, the purple Core Medals are utterly destroyed alongside all Core Medals when Maki implodes and produces a black hole that sucks them and all the other Core Medals with only Ankh's broken Taka Medal remaining. A seventh set of orange-colored Core Medals is revealed in the film Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals
