Kamen Rider Raia (仮面ライダーライア,
Kamen Raidā Raia) is a fictional character in the tokusatsu production
Kamen Rider Ryuki. He is one of the 13 Kamen Riders the series revolves around. His true identity is Miyuki Tezuka.

Miyuki Tezuka
Miyuki Tezuka (手塚 海之,
Tezuka Miyuki) is a very accurate fortune-teller that believes in predestination. He fights to stop the Rider war and change their fates, similar to Shinji,
Kamen Rider Ryuki. Tezuka is among the few honorable and noble Riders in the series. Though he was given the left Survive card, he gave it to
Kamen Rider Knight,
even though that could have made him stronger. Tezuka was not the
original deck holder that was chosen to become a Rider. The real chosen
one was Yuichi Saito , an excellent pianist and dear friend to Tezuka,
who had lost his ability to play when a mugger (later revealed to be
Takeshi Asakura) broke his hands and ruined his ability to play. Kanzaki
later appeared before Yuichi to offer the restoration of his hands if
he becomes a Rider, but Yuichi refused and was eaten by the monster
Guldthunder as a result. Taking the Card Deck, Tezuka later contracted
Evildiver and became a Rider to avenge his friend by ending the Rider
War.
While at a square performing Coin Fortune Telling, Tezuka notices
Ren and reads his future before revealing himself as a Rider. Though he
overpowered Knight but not intent on dealing the deathblow, Raia is
shocked with Knight's suicidal counterattack. But after the fight,
Tezuka tells Ren that he cannot win the Rider War because of the doubt
in his heart. After seeing a vision of Knight being defeated by Kamen Rider Gai,
Tezuka prods at Ren to know the truth behind him when he meets Shinji,
who also intends to stop the fighting among the Riders. Tezuka aids
Ryuki and Knight in dealing with Gai before he (Gai) is killed off by Ouja.
Raia died in the TV series during a fight against Ouja. When Ouja
performed his Final Vent against Ryuki, Raia pushed him out of the way
and took the attack instead. He died shortly afterwards due to his
wounds. Being a very accurate fortune teller, he probably knew that
Ryuki is better off being the one to stop the Rider war while Knight was
better off with the Survive card. After Shiro restored time to its
proper course after Yui's death, Tezuka was given a second chance in
life with no memory of being a Rider and was seen doing tarot readings
on the corner of the street.
