Kamen Rider Black
Shadow Moon who had been abducted by Gorgom to become one of their new kings. Shadow Moon is both the stepbrother and best friend to Kohtaro Minami, who had been abducted alongside Nobuhiko but managed to escape. Like Kamen Rider Black, Shadow Moon utilizes the King Stone to transform and is armed with the Satan Saber, a sword crafted specifically to be used by the Century Kings. When he first fought directly against Kohtaro and began losing, Shadow Moon temporarily turned back into Nobuhiko (due to the Creation King's interference) which sadly lasted for a few seconds before said procedure was reversed.

He then attacked Kohtaro in cold blood and defeated him. As he seemingly hesitated to land the finishing blow to Kohtaro, he tightly gripped his Satan Saber and killed him. He was then ordered by the Creation King to take Kohtaro's King Stone and was slowly about to when Kohtaro turned back into his human form. The human form of Kohtaro seemingly caused Nobuhiko's humanity to slightly reawaken as he said Kohtaro's name once more and caused him to not only hesitate but also decide against taking Kohtaro's King Stone. As he proclaimed that he didn't require Kohtaro's King Stone to become the next Creation King, he was then questioned by the Creation King who asked if he regained his humanity upon temporarily reverting back to human form.
Despite denying these accusations, Shadow Moon himself stated that he couldn't do it before disappearing away. After having a rematch with a resurrected Kohtaro, he was weakened by Kamen Rider Black using the Satan Saber to slash the Kingstone. After being defeated, Shadow Moon then harshly told Kohtaro that he shall feel regret for the rest of his life knowing that he killed his best friend Nobuhiko and stated that he was the next Creation King. Despite saying such a cruel thing to Kohtaro, Shadow Moon was told to stay alive as Kohtaro promised he would save him. His last known words in this series were " Black Sun.. Minami Kohtaro". He was left inside (due to the place exploding) the Gorgom Headquarters when his Kingstone exploded.
Kamen Rider Black RX
6 months later, he mysteriously resurfaced to seek revenge against his step brother. This time, he wielded the twin Shadow Sabers, similar to the original Satan Saber, gained from the Crisis Empire. He was also also somewhat rusted in his initial appearance. He was finally defeated by RX when he thrusts the Revolcane through Shadow Moon's Kingstone. He then admits defeat and tells Kohtaro of the Crisis Empire's plans to erupt a volcano and tells him to stop said plans while he saves the children that were being held hostage. As Kohtaro then sees Nobuhiko as Shadow Moon and cries out his name, Nobuhiko claims that he is Shadow Moon who will be revived to fight Kohtaro once more. He then tells Kohtaro to go as he saves the kids and later peacefully dies on a bed of flowers.
After 0
Kotaro Minami is walking out when all of a sudden he finds himself out in the open under the moonlight and he sees someone floating around. It’s Black RX, only white. The Rider itself fights him and pulls his King Stone out and becomes the Creation King, Another Shadow Moon. The place turns into some dark temple with a throne and Shadow Moon sits down in it. Kotaro yells but Shadow Moon sneers at him and as he removes his chest armour to reveal that inside is Nobuhiko's skeleton… and a beating heart.
