| ~ Leo during the raid on the human refugee camp. |
Leo is a supersoldier of Smart Brain who uses the Psyga Belt to transform into Kamen Rider Psyga and the secondary antagonist of the 2003 Kamen Rider 555 movie Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost.
He is portrayed by Peter Ho, who also portrayed Lu Bu in the 2010 Chinese TV series Three Kingdoms.
History[]
Leo was given the Psyga Gear by the Smart Brain corporation and placed under the supervision of Kyoji Murakami. Leo led the Riotroopers in an attack on a human refugee camp called "Paradise". As Psyga he fights Masato Kusaka as Kamen Rider Kaixa and quickly defeats and kills him. He attempts to take the Kaixa Gear, but is fended off by Yuji Kiba, Naoya Kaido and Yuka Osada.
The Riotroopers later stage a second attack against Paradise during which Leo kidnaps Mari. Taking her to the Smart Brain Super Arena, Leo intends to have her executed in front of live television by feeding her to the Elasmotherium Orphnoch.
However, the event is interrupted by Takumi, who transforms into Kamen Rider Faiz to kill the Orphnoch and free Mari. Psyga quickly joined the battle, but despite his more advanced Rider gear, the more experienced Faiz was able to kill him by slicing him in half the Faiz Edge Sparkle Cut, destroying the Psyga Gear and killing Leo. Leo and the Psyga belt promptly became reduced to dust.
Trivia[]
- It is not stated in the film which Orphnoch Leo is, but in the S.I.C Hero Saga prequel story Lost World, he is the first Lion Orphnoch (a different character is the second Lion Orphnoch in the film).
- Leo mainly speaks English with an American accent, but very rarely spoke Japanese due to his actor, Peter Ho, being an American born raised in Taiwan and Canada. The only Japanese word Leo spoke in the entire movie is the word "Henshin". This makes Kamen Rider Psyga/Leo the first character and Kamen Rider in the Franchises spoke entirely English.
