Personality And Traits

A 16 year-old Japanese high school student, Kouta Azuma lives in the Asakusa District of Tokyo with his younger sister, Shouko Azuma, and their grandfather, Kisaburo Azuma, a former scientist of the Extra-Over Technological Investigative Institute. Possessing a strong sense of justice, Kouta is very cautious of his sister's well-being, and will do anything to protect her and the safety of people around him.

When Kouta and Warrior Roar, the being that inhabits Kouta's body, share similar intentions, Kouta is able to access Roar's powers, becoming Fighter Roar, donning a full suit of battle armor. In this form, Kouta's abilities are transformed to superhuman levels, obtaining superstrength, super-speed and a variety of weapons that can combat any threat with Warrior Roar's powers. As Fighter Roar, his attacks include the following:

*Fighter Beam Gun
"Fighter Roar brings out a handheld beam gun, firing a few rounds of it at the enemy."

*First Rush
"Fighter Roar leaps towards its target, delivering a couple of melee attacks."

*Fire Dragon
"Upon powering up, Fighter Roar summons a pillar of fire, in the shape of a dragon, before sending it to crash and engulf its enemy.

However, should the situation call for it, Kouta can summon Warrior Roar's companion machine, the Compatible Kaiser, and pilot it against enemy mecha.

History

During an attack on the city by the Shura, Kouta Azuma witnessed the appearance of Warrior Roar, who immediately engaged the attacking Shura, upon appearing in the Original Generation universe. However, Roar was injured upon his entry, and seeing Kouta bent on protecting his sister, fused with Kouta, allowing him to carry Roar's responsibility and role of Fighter Roar. Kouta instantly transforms into Fighter Roar with the help of Warrior Roar and manages to call upon the Compatible Kaiser, and utilizes the machine to fight off the Shura.

Meanwhile, Shura warrior Phorka Albark kidnapped Shouko, bringing her to the Shura castle, Swordian, with the intent of fighting Kouta, whom he sees as a worthy combat rival. Professor Kisaburo would repair the damaged Kaiser for Kouta, before he takes off in search of Phorka and his sister.

Kouta ends up joining the Earth Federation Army, and later had to accept Phorka as an uneasy ally, after he defected from the Shura. Further to the battles, Kouta was reunited with Shouko, except that she was possessed by Roar's brainwashed sister, Emmy. Kouta and Roar fought and managed to bring both of them to their senses, culminating with the combination of Compatible Kaiser and Emmy's G Thundergate, forming the G Compatible Kaiser.

Later Kouta would immensely help Roar fight his arch-nemesis, the Dark Brain.
