When all 15 heroic Eyecons are gathered by Chikara Saionji, Takeru's pure heart and willpower to be a Kamen Rider allows him to be uncorrupted by the monolith's magic and he passes on getting his life back so Kanon can be saved. However, after seeing his childhood friend Makoto Fukami become the cold Kamen Rider Specter as a result of his sister Kanon's body being trapped in the Gamma World. The hermit tells Takeru he has 99 days to gather the 15 heroic Eyecons of great men from history in order to fully come back to life through the monolith below DaitenkЕ«-ji, as the hermit's magic is not powerful enough to truly restore him to life. He is brought back to life by a mysterious hermit who grants him the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Ghost to fight the Gamma. This allows him to see the monstrous ghosts known as Gamma who then attack and kill him, as they are after the Eyecon themselves.

Wishing to follow in his father's footsteps as a ghost hunter, Takeru laments being unable to see ghosts, which neither Akari nor Onari believe exist, until he receives an item called a Ghost Eyecon on his 18th birthday, a gift meant for him should his father have truly died. As well as his interest in Miyamoto Musashi, Takeru enjoys reading from a book titled 'Stories of the World's Greatest People' ( дё–з•ЊеЃ‰дєєдјќ, Sekai Ijinden) and learning about the history and legends of famous historical figures. Before his father apparently died, he sent Takeru a gift of the tsuba from Miyamoto Musashi's katana which he wears on a necklace.

Ten years earlier, his father left him home as he went on a ghost hunting expedition. Takeru TenkЕ«ji ( е¤©з©єеЇє г‚їг‚±гѓ«, TenkЕ«ji Takeru) is an 18-year-old man who is the current heir to DaitenkЕ«-ji. It is the home and base of operations for the series' main characters. DaitenkЕ«-ji ( е¤§е¤©з©єеЇє) is a fictional Buddhist temple in Kamen Rider Ghost which has been taken care of by the TenkЕ«ji family for generations.
