See main article: List of Kamen Rider Gavv characters. Shoma Stomach, a human-Granute hybrid and child of the Stomach Family, a powerful family of the Granute World, flees the Granute World and becomes stranded on Earth after his mother was slain. There, he discovers that when he consumes snacks, he creates Gochizo, small creatures which he can use to transform into Kamen Rider Gavv. As Gavv, Shoma fights against the rest of the Stomach Family, who killed his human mother and is kidnapping humans for their happiness to transform them into Dark Sweets, which she warned him to never eat, renouncing the Stomach name and adopting her surname, Inoue. He is aided by Sachika Amane, CEO of the jack-of-all-trades shop Hapipare, who takes him in, and Hanto Karakida, a freelance writer investigating his mother's kidnapping by a Granute 18 years ago who becomes Kamen Rider Valen after passing though a modification surgery by the researcher Kenzo Suga that gives him the ability to also tap the power of Shoma's Gochizo.
