Urataros (ウラタロス, Uratarosu?) is the second Imagin that gives Ryotaro his power, allowing transformation into Den-O Rod Form. The form given to him by Ryotaro is turtle-like in appearance, with his weapon being the Uratarod (ウラタロッド, Urataroddo?), a rod with hexagonal blades at each end.
Furthermore, Urataros was well-aware of Ryotaro being a Singularity Point, making his contract to him on purpose—though he says it is to evade the loneliness of being outside time, Hana later debunks this entirely.
When he possesses Ryotaro, he usually states the words, "Hey, will you let me fish you?" (お前、僕に釣られてみる?, Omae, boku ni tsuraretemiru??). He is also aware of the evil Imagin planning to destroy time, but simply does not want to commit it. Despite his cool exterior, there's indication that he's somewhat of a coward and lies just for self preservation.
Urataros is a casanova with a very convincing personality, owning the ability to convince almost anyone by speaking to them, stating that each one his words contains a hundred hooks, a thousand fabrications, and ten thousand lies. It's due to this philosophy that no one but Ryotaro trusts him.
At first, he and Momotaros fight each other due to clashing personalities, creating havoc upon the Den-Liner and Ryotaro's body until the Owner has Ryotaro choose to discard Urataros or share his Rider Pass with him. Urataros is shocked when Ryotaro chooses to keep him, with Ryotaro saying that he had a good heart, deep down on the inside feeling that even though lying is wrong, if one lies for another, it indicates they have a good heart. Urataros, however, later says that he lies simply for the sake of lying ("One lie is more interesting than a thousand truths"), and seems quite irritated that Ryotaro is "trivializing his lies."
While Momotaros gets Ryotaro in trouble through reckless methods, Urataros puts Ryotaro in conflicting situations when he goes around wooing multiple women. As part of being a liar and a convincer, Urataros is the best speaker of the Taros, and has possessed Ryotaro simply to get information out of someone, or to talk his way out of something (when Ryotaro is arrested for kidnapping, Urataros is able to get him exonerated, apparently cramping the hand of the stenographer in the process).
Despite these negative traits however, he does show genuine concern for Ryotaro's well being, as well as becoming enraged due to the multiple deaths caused by the Gigandeath created from the Kraken Imagin in the past. During the events of Kamen Rider Den-O: I'm Born!, Urataros possesses the Ryotaro that Yuto brought to the Mesozoic for the Climax Scene.
This results in Urataros fading from existence were it not for Ryotaro's feelings condensing his remains into the K-Taros, restoring him to normal while allowing Urataros to form the right shoulder armor of Den-O's Climax Form until his synch with Ryotaro was negated. However, his power is now accessed in the DenKamen Sword's Ura-Rod Mode. On his own, Urataros can perform Rod Form's finisher, Solid Attack, though his variation is shown as a sliding kick to the target rather than a flying side sick. He can also perform his version of the Den-Rider Kick.
After Kintaros' departure from the Den-Liner, Urataros seemingly betrays the rest of the crew by allowing the three New Mole Imagin that stowed on the Den-Liner to continue planting their bomb on the Machine Denbird as well as strand the gang in January 9, 2007. However, after a few physical confrontations with Momotaros for the Rider Pass, Naomi and the other discover that his betrayal is actually a ploy.
Urataros then borrows the Den-O Belt and transforms into Den-O Rod Form, destroying one of the Imagin before returning the Belt to Ryotaro and remaining in the past to fight off the remaining wave of Imagin as their reinforcements arrive. He is retrieved by Naomi for the final battle and is the third to fight the Death Imagin as Den-O Rod Form, with power utilized by Sword Form for the final blow. Uratarosthen joins the Den-Liner Police, helping in the fight against Negataros and later assumes Rod Form (on his own again) during the epic battle against the revived Imagin.
He usually refers to Momotaros as "Senpai" (先輩, Senpai?) and Kintaros as either "Bear" (クマ, Kuma?) or "Kin-chan" (キンちゃん, Kin-chan?) respectively. His form is based on the legend of Urashima Tarō, who rescued a sea turtle and was granted a visit to the Ryūgū-jō.

EQUIPTMENT
DenGasher
The Combination Armament DenGasher is modeled after a bullet train and is Den-O's primary weapon. The DenGasher is composed of four separate parts that, when not in use, are attached to the Den-O Belt. Although the weapon configs aren't stuck to a specific form of Den-O, there are certain combinations which function best with its form. Climax Form typically uses it in Sword Mode. Liner Form can also use the DenGasher when the Den-Kamen Sword is unavailable. For Sword Form, the DenGasher is used in Sword Mode, which is formed by combining the Ax and Gun parts, which Momotaros usually lobs into the air, pulling out the Sword and Grip parts, and docking all four together as the joined Ax-Gun portion falls back down. Afterwards, a blade extends from the top of the sword. For Rod Form, the DenGasher is used in Rod Mode. The 4 parts are linked together in a straight line, one by one in the order of Sword, Gun, Ax, and Grip. Once complete, the DenGasher extends itself until it is the size of a staff, it can be used as a fishing rod or a harpoon. For Ax Form, the DenGasher is used in Ax Mode. The Grip & Gun parts are stacked on top of each other, creating the handle. The Sword part is then attached to the handle, followed by the Ax part, at which point the blade then extends and expands. For Gun Form, the DenGasher is used in Gun Mode, the Sword and Ax parts are stacked on top of each other. The Grip part is attached to the bottom of this, while the Gun part falls into place, forming the barrel. For Wing Form, the DenGasher has two modes, Handaxe Mode and Boomerang Mode, in which two pieces each are used for each weapon. The Sword and Grip parts form the Boomerang and the Ax and Gun parts form the Handaxe.
