Metropolitan Police Department

Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department previously fought the Gurongi Tribe during the events of Kamen Rider Kuuga. As a result, the police force develops various weapons based on the Unidentified Lifeform #4, Kuuga, to combat various unknown threats under the division of the "Squad of Anti-Unidentified Lifeforms".

Makoto Hikawa

Age 23, Makoto Hikawa is the hero of the Akatsuki incident. While on routine patrol he saw a bright light in the sea and somehow managed to board the Akatsuki, rescuing everyone on the ship except for one person. Due to these heroics, Makoto Hikawa is chosen to by his superiors to don the Kuuga-like G3 System battle suit and become Kamen Rider G3 as part of SAUL.
Hikawa took the G3 System on its first run during the Jaguar Lord case, resulting with a feral Agito damaging the suit. Over time, while aiding Agito, Hikawa managed to piece together the nature of the Lords' victims, and while investigating the house of Professor Nobuyuki Kazaya he discovered a link between the two cases. Later, after risking his life to stop the fight between Agito and Gills, Hikawa gains the upgraded G3-X Suit built to fight the stronger Riders and Unknown. However, the perfection in the suit became its flaw as the AI would momentarily takeover an impure wearer, as seen when the suit acted on Hikawa's deepest desires when it took control. After consulting her mentor, Ozawa installs a special inhibitor chip to regress the suit's AI.
Hikawa later learns the identity of Agito as Shouichi, though he refuses to accept it at first due to his admiration of Agito. After the two combined their efforts to defeat Skelos Glaucus, Hikawa became more respecting of Shouichi. When Hōjō took over the G3 Unit with a reformed method of protecting the Unknown, Hikawa was transferred back to Kagaki. However, unable to leave, Hikawa and Ozawa took back the G3 Unit, and Hikawa donned the G3-X one final time to aid Agito and Gills in defeating the Lords. By the next year, Hikawa leaves the G3 Unit and returns to being a normal police officer.
Makoto Hikawa is portrayed by Jun Kaname.

Sumiko Ozawa

Sumiko Ozawa is the 25-year-old genius behind the G3 System. Her position within SAUL's G3 unit is the system's monitor engineer, overseeing the operator and G3 suit during combat from the G-Trailer mobile command base. She was in constant rivalry with Tōru Hōjō. Ozawa was very glad on learning that Shouichi was Agito. In the series epilogue, she left the police force after the Overlord incident and moved to London to work at a university.
Sumiko Ozawa is portrayed by Touko Fujita.

Takahiro Omuro

Age 24, Takahiro Omuro helps Ozawa at the G-Trailer mobile command base. Often the comic relief of the G3 team, he tends to be more immature and carefree than Hikawa and Ozawa. In the Kamen Rider Agito special, A New Transformation, he became G3 Mild and gave his battery to Makoto Hikawa, but abandoned being G3 Mild at the conclusion when the project was dropped. In the series epilogue, he becomes squad leader of the G5 Unit.
Takahiro Omuro is portrayed by Akiyoshi Shibata.

Tōru Hōjō

Tōru Hōjō is a 25-year-old fellow cop and Hikawa's rival, though he respects Hikawa and has admiration for Ozawa. Hōjō is a brilliant and talented investigator, but is also shown to be crafty and underhanded as in his first attempt to capture Agito which nearly resulted in his being killed by Aki Sakaki. He is also the creator of the Victory One System, which was meant to rival the G3 System. After he gives up on pursuing the G3 system, Hōjō tries to uncover the mysteries behind Kazaya Nobuyuki's murder, thus leading to uncover the culprit: Yukina Sawaki, an Agito. Hōjō concludes that humans possessing Agito power are more dangerous than Unknown, and convinces his superiors to reform the G3 Unit, but in reality he fears their power much like the Lords and Overlord. When Hikawa and Ozawa reclaim the G3 unit from him, he stands down and lets them take it. He is quite surprised to learn that the identity of Kamen Rider Agito is Souichi, Hikawa's friend and the same man who mastered the G3-X System. In the series epilogue, Hōjō meets Ozawa at a London university, suggesting that he has fallen in love with her, but rescinds this as a joke and they remain rivals despite hard-won mutual respect.
Tōru Hōjō is portrayed by Jun Yamasaki.

Ryō Ashihara

Ryō Ashihara was a 20-year-old star swimmer of Jyohoku University who recovered from a near-fatal car crash and underwent a metamorphosis, enabling him to transform into the feral Kamen Rider Gills, a flawed version of Agito. To learn the truth behind his changes and his father's suicide, Ryō tracks down other survivors of the Akatsuki with his father's black book, eventually meeting Aki Sakaki and developing feelings for her. However, due to a misunderstanding of who killed Aki, Ryō becomes bent on killing Agito.
Attempting to meet an Akatsuki survivor named Masumi, Ryō was attacked by the psychic Katsuhiko Sagara and left for dead. However, Ryō was found by Tetsuya Sawaki, who asked the Overlord to resurrect him again, but the Overlord refused in fear of further shortening his life. Tetsuya then attempted to have the newly awakened Mana Kazaya resurrect him instead. Because of Mana, Ryō discovered that his body chemistry was also altered, able to now accommodate his transformation. Tetsuya later reveals to Ryō the Lords' fear and Ryō's genetic relation to Agito. Furthermore, Ryō learned of Shouichi's identity as Agito and the truth behind Aki's death.
Eventually, Ryō fought Kaoru Kino, outmatched by the man's Agito form and forced to run upon being wounded, suffering from a mysterious chest pain that would kill a normal person. Majima was unable to save Ryō on his own until Tetsuya arrived, allowing him to transfer his Agito Seed into Ryō. As a result, Ryō obtained the ability to become Exceed Gills, and used his new power to defeat Kino. This reminded Kino of his intent to save lives, leading to his eventual sacrifice. With the Lords nowhere to be found, Ryō befriended Risa Mishihara, and following her Overlord-induced death he attacked the El of the Ground, only to be defeated and left for dead. However, Gills arrived to aid Agito and G3-X to finish their ultimate fight with the Lords. In the epilogue, Ryō left town and is wandering the world.
Ryō Ashihara is portrayed by Yūsuke Tomoi.

Tetsuya Sawaki

Tetsuya Sawaki is a 35-year-old man resurrected by the Overlord due to his passive involvement in the death of the first Agito, Yukina Sawaki.

As the series progress, Tetsuya revealed to be the real Shouichi Tsugami, as his current name was his alias borrowed from Yukina's younger brother. The Overlord resurrected him with power to accelerate the Agito seed evolution, and Tetsuya turned his back on the Overlord as he realized the world needed more people who can become Agito.

''Akatsuki'' survivors

The Akatsuki is a ship where the Overlord of Light's spirit mysteriously appeared and gave the seed of Agito to the passengers aboard. This was opposed by the Overlord of Darkness who sent the El of the Water to attack the Akatsuki. The El fought Tetsuya Sawaki as he awakened as the second Agito, ultimately throwing him in the ocean. While he'd been unable to defeat the El Lord, Agito held him off long enough for policeman Makoto Hikawa to see a storm overcoming the Akatsuki and jump in the water to save possible survivors.

Saeko Shinohara

Tomoko's 24-year-old friend, Saeko Shinohara lives with her older brother, an archaeologist. The Akatsuki incident left her traumatized and unable to function until she heard the false legend of Sandouko Lake, and began to scuba-dive for relics of an ancient civilization which worshipped an Agito. To keep Saeko in that state of mind, her brother dumped the relics she found into the lake.

Believing Ryō to be dead, Aki's powers begin to manifest and her evolution is accelerated by an encounter with Tetsuya, which corrupts her. Aki used her psychic powers to murder those involved in the Agito Capture Plan while evading the Jaguar Lords. While attempting to kill Hōjō, Aki learns that Ryō was still alive. With the aid of Gills, she escapes an attack by Pantheras Rubeo but is ambushed by Pantheras Magistra who snaps her neck.

Shiro Mizuki is a 35-year-old second lieutenant and one of the military officers guarding the GA psychic educational facility when the Formica Pedes Lords attacked. He was one of those selected to wear the Agito-like G4 System battle suit as Kamen Rider G4. Though he would survive the ordeal, he would be left a jaded man, his pride scarred, living as one who would embrace death as the means of becoming stronger. He volunteered as operator for the G4 suit and eventually clashed with G3-X operator Hikawa, to put their ideals to the test on the battlefield. Despite his suit being an upgraded version of Hikawa's, the more-experienced Rider was able to defeat him in battle by removing his helmet. The G4 suit then began to malfunction, ultimately killing Mizuki. The suit then attempted to rise again to continue the fight, forcing Hikawa to destroy it.
The G4 was armed with the Gigant, a large missile launcher powerful enough to take out several Unknown in a single shot, as well as an improved version of G3's GM-01 Scorpion handgun.

Unknown

The major antagonists of Kamen Rider Agito, "Unknown" is a police designation for a race of powerful monsters that have been causing deaths around Tokyo, targeting carriers of the Agito seed.

Overlord

The Overlord is the highest power among the Unknown, and is referred to as the creator of the human race. Long ago, there existed twin entities; one being the embodiment of light while the other was embodiment of darkness. These "brothers" co-existed in harmony for a time, creating the world before battling for control over it. Defeated, the Overlord of Light used his dying breath to bestow his essence – the power of Agito – upon humanity, with the hopes that they would evolve beyond him. The Overlord of Darkness took it upon himself to personally eliminate the vessels of Agito, creating the Lords to kill all humans who possess the potential to evolve into Agito.
Though he died around the Pleistocene, the Overlord of Darkness left a puzzle that, once solved, reconstructed his body from a DNA model, and he escaped from a containment box in the O-Parts laboratory as an infant. Maturing into an eight-year-old boy, he followed Sakiko Mikumo, who had witnessed his birth, and punished Anguis Femineus for killing her. The Overlord used his power to heal a mortally-injured Ryō, assuming adult form as a result. After nearly being killed by a fear-driven Gills, the Overlord killed Tomoko Miura, and was arrested and placed in a psychiatric ward after he shut down from the psychological burden of the murder. The Overlord then watched from the sidelines as the Lords committed various supernatural murders on anyone reaching paranormal maturity, though he intervened once to give Agito's Tornador a power-boost. This would later result in Shouichi, along with Ryō and Makoto Hikawa, further complicating matters and interfering in the work of his emissaries.
Casualties mounted on both sides, with the death of the El of the Water convincing the Overlord that the vessels of Agito – Shouichi Tsugami, Ryō Ashihara, and Kaoru Kino – had grown too powerful. He recommitted to seeing all active Agito vessels hunted down and stripped of their Seeds of Agito, and killing the Riders to suppress the Seeds already absorbed. However, with Hikawa's aid, Shouichi dealt a decisive blow to the Overlord that released the Seeds of Agito back to their rightful owners and forced the Overlord to retreat. The shock that even normal humans had grown strong enough to oppose his power convinced the Overlord that humanity was no longer worthy of existence, and so began orchestrating their extermination.
The Overlord enacted his genocide of humanity, realigning the constellations of the Zodiac, to kill all of mankind in bizarre doppelgänger homicides starting with those born under Scorpio. The required concentration rendered the Overlord vulnerable, so he created the El of the Wind as his bodyguard and the El of the Ground to continue killing those reaching paranormal maturity. The Riders fought back, destroyed the El Lords, and wounded the retreating Overlord. The Overlord then had a conversation with Tetsuya Sawaki which convinced him that he did not truly understand the mankind he created. The Overlord implies that he will postpone his plans, and observe how humans use their own gifts and whether or not they are worthy of existence.
The Overlord is portrayed by Rei Haneo. As a baby and child, he is portrayed by Yuuki Yagi, Ryunosuke Kamiki, and Takafumi Anai.

Lords

The Lords are a group of powerful disciples serving under the Overlord, who created them from his body to protect humanity's Linto ancestors from the Gurongi Tribe. To differ them from the Gurongi's designation as Unidentified Lifeforms, the police department refer the Lords as "Unknown".
All Lords are human-like with the head of the animal whose tribe they belong to, and wing-shaped protuberances extending from their shoulders. The Lords target survivors of the Akatsuki incident and humans who possess psychic power, as these people have the potential to become Agito. The Lords' motivation is to protect humanity, believing they do not require the power of Agito which would only corrupt them. When they murder an awakened or potential Agito, they perform a ritual with their hands, saying that they want permission to sin; at the same time, a halo would appear over their heads. Every tribe had a unique way of killing, for example: leaving the corpse in a tree, dissolving the human, drying the human to death, changing the human into sand, pulling the human into the ground, dragging the human into the air and dropping them, vaporizing, etc. Killing a normal human is considered a taboo with a penalty of death, though there are exceptions if the human in question committed murder. When a Lord is killed, the halo typically materializes over their heads before they explode.

El Lords

Under the Overlord exist three very powerful Lords, known as the and heightened psychic power. He managed to overpower the Riders, taking out Agito while fighting the others and winning. But once Shouichi awakened with his memories restored, he battles the El in Burning Form. Soon enough, the tables turned and the El was wounded by Exceed Gills, Another Agito, and Agito Shining Form. The El of the Water was unable to return to the Overlord's body in time and was reduced to a puddle of water, to his creator's shock. Voiced by Kiyoyuki Yanada.
The Jaguar Lords are Unknowns based on big cats of the genus Panthera. They killed their victims with a snap of the neck before leaving the corpse on a tree.
The Tortoise Lords are able to swim through the ground like fish in water; their method of killing is to pull the victim into the ground, burying them alive with no sign of soil disturbance.
The Snake Lords are able to move at blurring speeds for short distances, like wind gusts. Their method of killing is to teleport the victim several feet into the air and drop them.
The Crow Lords can fly as fast as jets; they use aerial-themed killing methods from fatal divebomb charges to lifting a human into the air and dropping him.
The Zebra Lords use a form of rapid decay as their killing mechanism, using it on normal humans who interfere. Voiced by Hiroyuki Shibamoto.
The Jackal Lords are able to move at fast speeds, and kill people by servering an artery at the neck, giving the illusion of a kamaitachi.
The Bee Lords kill people through a form of matter transference, burying the victim alive in a honeycomb wall.
The Stingray Lords kill by having a person fall to death via matter transference. Voiced by Katsumi Shiono.
The Fish Lords have a killing method that resembles diver's sickness.

However, because the Overlord followed her, Mikumo was murdered by Anguis Femineus. As killing a regular human is considered a taboo among the Unknown, Anguis Femineus was forced to commit suicide by the Overlord.
