Interesting things about the character: -Shoutarou is a man who aspires to be a hard-boiled detective but is too emotional to pull it off. -Kiiiind of got his boss killed due to his own impatience/desire to show that he's useful. He's mostly over it. -Freakin' loves fedoras. -Generally does two things when it comes to women - either he'll bicker endlessly with them, or flirt like there's no tomorrow. And he usually fails, but manages to be charming enough that he doesn't get slapped. -Will wreck your face if you make someone cry, or get himself wrecked trying. Seriously. He put himself in a good bit of mortal danger when one of the higher-ranking bad guys made the rival/ally rider cry - Shoutarou pulled off a Twin Maximum Drive, and got himself laid up for a while as a result. -Shoutarou FREAKS THE HELL OUT at things he finds weird. Granted this is kind of wobbly as to what he finds weird given that he fights monsters as a job, but it's still fun. -He has the coolest theme music - both for he figures stuff out and for combat.
Interesting things about the canon: -11th Heisei Kamen Rider series, 20th series overall. -Episode titles reflect the duality theme of the show - two titles separated by a slash, and the first title uses a letter in place of a word that actually represents two words. For example, the first episode's title is "The W Search/Two Detectives in One." W represents both W the rider, and Word. I try and do this with most of my comm posts because I am a huge dork. -The show does a damn good job of mixing comedy and drama.
