History
Pre-Series Events
In 2005, Chikara was a ghost hunter and Ryu Tenkuji's partner, studying the paranormal in the hopes of understanding it and researching the monolith in their lab. During an experiment, the Monolith activated a Ganma Hole which sucked in Kanon and Makoto Fukami. After some disagreements, Chikara left Ryu and went on his dark path of using the Ganma for his experiments.

Kamen Rider Ghost
Chikara Saionji appears as he performs a ritual at night to summon a pair of Eyecons which proceed to take form as Ganma, granting their primal bodies evolution to Empowered Ganma by providing a Yari and a Katana. Ultimately, both Ganma are destroyed by Kamen Rider Ghost, reincarnated from a youth who they themselves had slain in their search for the Eyecons. While Aran witnesses the destruction of the Katana Ganma at the hands of Ghost as he acquired the Musashi Eyecon, Chikara merely smiles and walks off as Aran notes to him that an obstacle to their agenda has emerged.
Supposed Victory And Death
After Ghost obtained the Benkei Ghost Eyecon, Chikara managed to steal the remaining Eyecons from Ghost and Specter while they were distracted in battle by Jabel who was unknowingly a pawn by being used as a diversion. After drawing all the Eyecons into his briefcase, he arrived at the Daitenku Temple and activated the Monolith. He then pleaded to the Monolith and the Ghost Eycons to make him the ruler of the world. But much to his horror and shock, the Eyecons rejected his demands, dissolving his body into the Monolith which killed him instantly.
Abilities
- Ghost Driver : Chikara carried an unfinished Ghost Driver connected to electronics inside his briefcase to create Ghost Eyecons. It presumably is incapable of being used for transformation due to its incomplete state, as it lacks a trigger mechanism.
- Ganma invocation equipment : Lacking Aran's power to create the Ganma Holes himself, Chikara Saionji carried a set of equipment which allowed him to create miniature Ganma Holes and bring forth Ganma Eyecons, consisting of a white sheet bearing a Ganma eye symbol and a vial of a mysterious blue liquid which he dropped onto the eye in a similar fashion to eye drops.
- Ghost Parka Unsealing and Ghost Eyecon creation : Much like the Kamen Riders, Chikara could unseal Parka Ghosts and then capture them by sucking up and imprisoning them in his briefcase. He then converts them into Ghost Eyecons using an unfinished prototype Ghost Driver inside the bag.
- Ganma Commandos summoning : Chikara could use Ganma Eyecons to create Ganma Commandos to protect himself or prevent any interference by the Kamen Riders or their allies.
