Takayuki Tsubaki As Kazuma
Kazuma Kenzaki (剣崎 一真 Kenzaki Kazuma?)
is the main protagonist of the Kamen Rider Blade television series. He
was chosen by the B.O.A.R.D. organization to use the sealed Category Ace
of Spades (Change Beetle) to become Kamen Rider Blade (仮面ライダーブレイド Kamen Raidā Bureido?). He has a good heart and believes in fighting to protect humanity.
In episode 30 and 31 of Kamen Rider Decade, Takayuki Tsubaki (椿 隆之 Tsubaki Takayuki?) reprises his role as Kazuma Kenzaki and again, voice-only role in Movie Taisen 2010.
At the age of 11, Kenzaki was orphaned when his family died in a freak fire accident. The powerlessness he felt would forever serve as the motivation to try and protect the defenseless, subsequently leading to being scouted by the Board Of Archaeological Research Department (otherwise known as B.O.A.R.D.). Because of his intelligence and exceptional survival instincts, he would eventually be promoted to field operative and the designated user of Rider System-02. However, during assessment for the Rider System, Kenzaki displayed unusually high fusion coefficiency. Though this caused no immediate concern, as his levels maintained steady intervals. After being promoted to Rider status, Kenzaki would be partnered with fellow BOARD Rider and senior operative Sakuya Tachibana on assignment to hunt down three Undead over the next two months.
Eveuntually sealing the Bat Undead, Kenzaki meets a web-journalist named Kotarō Shirai, who begins investigating the Riders after witnessing Kenzaki carelessly changing back from his transformation. To lessen the risk of exposure (and to find a place to board after losing his apartment for delinquent payments), Kenzaki made a deal with Kotarō: In exchange for information concerning the Riders, Kotarō would provide him a place to stay; being that his salary with BOARD was barely enough to make a living. But later that evening, disaster struck as BOARD HQ fell under attack from the Locust Undead.
With Tachibana's desertion and Karasuma--BOARD's president--no where to be found, Kenzaki and Shiori, one of BOARD's surviving staffers, set-up a new base of operations in Kotarō's home, using whatever equipment left undamaged during the Undead raid on BOARD HQ. Though operating at a limit capacity, Kenzaki, Hirose, and Kotarō successful began track and sealing any active Undead in the area. But eventually Kenzaki redirects his focus on tracking down the rogue Tachibana, leading to an encounter with Chalice--an entity with similar abilties to his Rider System.
Kenzaki was later adbucted by men working for a man named Isaka (the man behind Tachibana's strange behavior) who intended to used him in human/Undead fusion analysis. Engaging the Trilobite Undead, his Kenzaki's fusion rate were stable until seeing Hajime among his captors triggered increased fusion before Chalice gets involved as well before Garren provides backup. After that Kenzaki learns that Hajime is the Joker Undead, confronting him before they fight until the Zebra Undead start his attack. Though he knew that Chalice was an Undead operating under the alias "Hajime Aikawa", Kenzaki started to believe that there's some good in Hajime and that he's not the monster he originally thought him to be. However, once Griffa Undead was sealed, Hajime begins to lose control and his impulse as Joker comes forth with the Stone of Sealing creating an army of DarkRoaches to eliminate all humans. In the end, Kamen Rider Blade is the only one to combat him head on, both equal in power, intent on saving the Earth and Hajime from himself.
In the series ending, Kenzaki sacrificed his humanity in order to save Hajime, thus becoming the Navy Joker. Hajime is allowed to keep his Human Spirit card to maintain his disguise and stays with the Kurihara family for the rest of his life; but still remembers what Kenzaki has done for him; for if he and Kenzaki cross paths, fate will step in and force them to fight.

EQUIPTMENT
Blay Buckle
Designated 'Rider System-02', this transformation device was the second Rider System developed by B.O.A.R.D. intended as a mean to combat the Undead via the fusion of Undead DNA and human DNA. The Blay Buckle was designed for specific compatibility with the "Change Beetle" Rouse Card and harnesses the DNA of the Beetle Undead. This model utilizes the "Turn-Up" mechanism to produce a stationary transformation screen, which initiates the fusion of Undead DNA with a human to produce the Kamen Rider transformation. Coincidentally, the transformation screen itself can act as a deflective wall against assaults. In the series finale, the Blay Buckle is replaced with a green Chalice Rouzer.
Blade’s primary armament; a hi-tech saber which serves as a weapon for combat and storage unit for Rouse Cards, including Proper Blanks. It has a built-in 'rousing' technology, which enables Blade to "rouse" the sealed Undead's power to utilize personally. After activating Jack Form, the Blayrouzer gains an enhancement in the form of a blade extension and an expanded AP Cache; +2400AP from the Ace Form's original 5000AP, totaling 7400AP in Jack Form.
A special accessory developed by Kei Karasuma to bolster the Rider’s capabilities. The Rouse Absorber was designed to be a supplementary Rouse device to the Rider System and specialized container for the top category Rouse Cards. Its system was designed to harness the Fusion Eagle, Absorb Capricorn and Evolution Caucasus Rouse Cards and is only compatible with those cards. Initiating either Jack Form or King Form modifies the Rouse Absorber with a stylized cover plaque, eagle-themed plaque for Jack Form and an atlas beetle-themed plaque for King Form, for the card window. In King Form, the Rouse Absorber is dubbed King Absorber, though the modification, in either case, possesses no practical function and proves more cosmetic if anything.
The King Rouzer is the signature armament of the King Form. Modeled after the zweihander, the King Rouzer is Blade's most powerful Rouzer-weapon from its size and weight. That aside, the King Rouzer functions as most Rouzer-weapons, although its AP Cache has been given a much larger expansion, to a value of 9600AP.
