Hiden Company

Throughout the series, two companies bear the Hiden name:

  • Hiden Intelligence (飛電インテリジェンス, Hiden Interijensu): A tech company that develops HumaGears (ヒューマギア, Hyūmagia), full fledged A.I.s in android bodies developed to be near indistinguishable from humans due to their lifelike appearance; with headphone-like HumaGear Modules (ヒューマギアモジュール, Hyūmagia Mojūru) worn around their ears as well as a HumaGear Body Seal authorization device on their bodies being the only signs of their status as a HumaGear.
  • Hiden Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (飛電製作所, Hiden Seisakujo): After Hiden Intelligence was bought out by ZAIA Enterprise, Hiden Manufacturing was created to maintain the Hiden legacy, continue creating HumaGears, and fight back against both ZAIA Enterprise and MetsubouJinrai.net. Their base of operations was established in an abandoned office within Daybreak Town.

Aruto Hiden

Aruto Hiden (飛電 或人, Hiden Aruto) is a kind-hearted failed comedian who is appointed the CEO of Hiden Intelligence following the death of his grandfather, Korenosuke, and inherits the power to become Kamen Rider Zero-One by utilizing the Rising Hopper Progrise Key (ライジングホッパープログライズキー, Raijingu Hoppā Puroguraizu Kī) in the Hiden Zero-One Driver (飛電ゼロワンドライバー, Hiden Zero Wan Doraibā), assisted by the Zea (ゼア) satellite. Initially reluctant to take on the role, he accepted it after witnessing MetsubouJinrai.net (and later ZAIA Enterprise) threaten the peace between humans and HumaGears.

During the events of Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation, Aruto found himself in an alternate timeline version of Daybreak Town before being attacked by Another Zero-One, a monster created by the Time Jacker Finis, who came from the World of Zi-O to alter his history; resulting in him temporarily losing his powers. During this time, an unknown individual (later revealed to be Soreo) gave Aruto a Force Riser so he could become Kamen Rider Zerozero-One (仮面ライダー001 (ゼロゼロワン), Kamen Raidā Zero Zero Wan) to regain his powers.

Aruto later gains an upgrade version of Zero-One known as Kamen Rider Zero-Two (仮面ライダー02 (ゼロツー), Kamen Raidā Zero Tsū) by using the Zero-Two Progrise Key combined with an upgrade for the Zero-One Driver, the Zero-Two Driver Unit (ゼロツードライバーユニット, Zero Tsū Doraibā Yunitto).[2]

After losing the 5-part Workplace Competition, Aruto secretly downloaded all of the HumaGears' personality profiles from the Zea satellite before could Gai erase them so that he could continue the Hiden legacy. Using them, Aruto and Is created a new company, Hiden Manufacturing Co., Ltd, with himself as President and Is again as his assistant.

As part of ZAIA CEO Gai's machinations, Isamu's A.I. chip was replaced with that of MetsubouJinrai.net member, Naki, which also gave him false memories.Ep. 32 Naki's ally, Jin, eventually figured out a way to separate their A.I. from him.Ep. 34 - 35 As a result, Isamu learned that aside from his normal childhood life and understanding cheesy puns like Aruto’s jokes, most of his memories were not truly his.Ep. 4, 35 Despite being the only person who thinks Aruto’s jokes are funny, Isamu continuously denies this.Ep. 2

However, after they learned that ZAIA had been using them ever since they formed, the cyber-terrorists aimed to fight them as well while keeping Hiden Manufacturing from interfering.

Most of MetsubouJinrai.net's members use the MetsubouJinrai Force Riser (滅亡迅雷フォースライザー, Metsubōjinrai Fōsu Raizā) in conjunction with Progrise or Zetsumerise Keys to transform. As depicted in Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation, the Force Risers are potentially fatal to humans.

After he was revived, Jin utilizes the Burning Falcon (バーニングファルコン, Bāningu Farukon) Progrise Key in the ZAIA Slash Riser (ザイアスラッシュライザー, Zaia Surasshu Raizā) to transform, while simultaneously becoming more mature in personality and clashing with Horobi over their respective beliefs for HumaGear welfare.

During the events of Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation, Soreo’s original fate was altered by the Time Jacker Finis. As a result, he gained the ability to become the Kamen Rider 1-inspired Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata (仮面ライダー1型, Kamen Raidā Ichigata, lit. "Kamen Rider Type-One") by utilizing the Rocking Hopper (ロッキングホッパー, Rokkingu Hoppā) Zetsumerise Key in the Cyclone Riser (サイクロンライザー, Saikuron Raizā); both of which he designed before the Zero-One Driver.

Although Soreo eventually revealed his true agenda, the Ark brainwashed him, forcing him to fight Aruto against his will, though this was also part of his plan as he had to be defeated by Aruto's hand. Once the timeline was restored, Soreo's fate was changed back.
