Verde's true identity is Itsuro Takamizawa and was the oldest Rider at 36 until the appearance of Kamen Rider Gaoh. He is portrayed by Arthur Kuroda. Kamen Rider Verde's name and appearance are derived the word "Verde" which means "green" in Latin based languages like Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.

Fictional character biography

Itsuro Takamizawa was a thirty-eight year old businessman, head of the Takamizawa company. Extremely wealthy, Takamizawa kept his sinister nature hidden to protect his public image. He accepted Kanzaki's proposal to join the Rider War so that he could gain more and rule the world. In the 13 Riders Special, he was the one to kill Kamen Rider Raia. Soon after he saw Shinji as a threat to his own plans and gathered every like-minded Rider to team up and dispose of the troublemaker. He also managed to kill Knight with his Final Vent, only to be killed by Knight's Final Vent immediately afterwards.
