Hidari, Shoutarou

左翔太郎

Shoutarou Hidari serves as the left side of Kamen Rider Double, yet he is also a Rider in his own right as Kamen Rider Joker. A self-proclaimed "hardboiled detective," he wears retro clothing inspired by late-1930s fashion, preferring fedora hats and waistcoats. His friends often call him 'half-boiled,' however, since he cannot completely silence his doubts, was initially viewed as inexperienced, frequently acts on his emotions, and struggles to make cruel but necessary decisions, which contradicts his hard-boiled ambitions. He eventually gains more respect, though, as he proves himself throughout the series. He works as a private detective in the city of Fuuto.
