Description
Hiroki Nagase is a 17-year-old high school student who serves as the leader of Team X, a group formed to hunt down Amazon creatures in the second season of the story. He has black hair and black eyes and stands 178 cm tall. Hiroki is characterized by a short-tempered and often aggressive personality, frequently yelling or reacting with anger, which can leave a negative impression on others. Despite this volatile exterior, he possesses a strong sense of loyalty and a kinder side, particularly towards his friends. His dislike for school led him to form Team X, finding purpose in the group's activities.
Hiroki's central role in the story begins when he discovers and takes in Chihiro, a young man who escaped from the 4C research facility, and uses him as a catalyst to officially establish Team X to exterminate Amazons. His motivations are driven by a desire for revenge after his close friends, Takuya Yamashita and Kenta Kitahara, are attacked by an Amazon; the incident results in Takuya's transformation and Kenta losing a leg. However, his character undergoes significant development when he learns that Chihiro is the source of the plague that created the very Amazons he swore to destroy. Rather than turning against him, Hiroki chooses to stand by Chihiro, protecting him from those who seek to eliminate him. This loyalty extends to his eventual opposition of 4C and Iyu, a former classmate, as he attempts to stop them from hunting Chihiro. In a pivotal moment, Hiroki uses a shotgun to shoot an Amazon hunter, further cementing his decision to protect his friend.
Key relationships define Hiroki's journey. He is close friends with Takuya and Kenta, whose suffering fuels his initial quest for vengeance. He shares a past with his former classmate Iyu, and he later tries to help her remember their childhood by taking her to an amusement park they used to visit. The bar owner, Makoto Shido, acts as a caretaker figure for the group, providing them with a place to stay. In terms of abilities, Hiroki is not a Kamen Rider but operates as a human member of an Amazon hunting team, primarily relying on firearms such as a shotgun.
