Ryusei Sakuta is a mysterious young man who transfers to AGHS in Gentaro's class. He is initially part of the Anti-Zodiarts Union and fights as Kamen Rider Meteor. He originally attended Subaruboshi High School, transferring to AGHS and weaseling his way into the Kamen Rider Club in order to track down the yet to manifest Aries Zodiarts for his personal agenda.
After the Aries Zodiarts makes his appearance and his identity as Kamen Rider Meteor is revealed to the members of the Kamen Rider Club, Ryusei properly joins the Kamen Rider Club as an official member and one of Gentaro's friends. His fighting style is the Seishin Dairin Fist (Star-Mind Large-Ring Fist) style, Jeet Kune Do. Ryusei's friend Jiro Iseki foolishly used a Zodiarts Switch, which self-destructed and rendered him in a coma afterwards. Ryusei never forgave himself for being unable to prevent his friend's injury and afterward vowed to never make friends.

He receives the Meteor System equipment from the mysterious Tachibana and the mission to find the Aries Zodiarts soon after Jiro's hospitalization. One of the conditions of using the Meteor System imposed on Ryusei is to keep Kamen Rider Meteor's identity an absolute secret from everyone else, under the threat that he would no longer be able to fight as Kamen Rider Meteor should his identity be exposed. Under orders to not reveal his identity as a Kamen Rider and extensive knowledge regarding the Zodiarts menace to anyone, the duplicitous Ryusei hides his scheming, cold and arrogant personality under a bright, cheerful, and albeit slightly timid facade when he is around people.
However Gentaro was the only one able to tell that he wasn't honest. He isn't a good actor to begin with and as such on occasions when push comes to shove, bits of his true personality reveal themselves. For example, after the destruction of the Lynx Zodiarts in hopes of reviving Jiro, he hits Gentaro, knocking him down but shattering his doubt of him and convincing him that Ryusei isn't entirely dishonest. Other than his true character, he is also forced to hide his martial arts prowess under a constructed form of cowardice, running away in "fright" in order to find a private place to transform into Meteor.

- Unlike Fourze, Kamen Rider Meteor transforms with the power from the M-BUS satellite space-station in Earth's orbit above Japan, holding necessary energy for Meteor to transform. Cosmic Energy is received to complete Kamen Rider Meteor's transformation. However, if Ryusei is not exposed to this energy, he is not able to transform. After transforming into Kamen Rider Meteor, he says "Kamen Rider Meteor, your fate is mine to decide!", though Yuki will yell out "The Meteor is Here!" on a few occasions that Meteor arrives in his blue fireball form. His helmet is called the Star Face.
- Whenever he fights, he tends to make martial arts sounds like "Hwatcha" due to his fighting style Seishin Dairinken resembling Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. Using the Meteor Switch, Meteor can perform three different Limit Breaks. By turning on the Meteor Switch in the Meteor Driver and rotating the Celestial Drive Unit, Meteor can perform one of two Rider Kick Limit Breaks:
- Meteor Tornado : A spinning kick that rotates in high speed.
- Meteor Strike : A flying side kick.
- By inserting the Meteor Switch into the Meteor Galaxy, Meteor can perform the Starlight Shower finisher, where Meteor strikes the target with hard yet fast jabs with his right arm, the aura of the attack coming off of his arm making look like a comet with a tail. It can alternatively be used as a projectile-based finisher by throwing jabs to make balls of energy to come out of his right hand, then finished it with a bigger ball of energy.
- With Fourze Magnet States and Meteor places the N Magnet Switch in the Meteor Driver, Fourze and Meteor can perform the Rider Super Electromagnetic Strike, which allows both to use the magnetic pull from each other to ram into enemies. Kamen Rider Meteor's ending theme is entitled "Shooting Star".
