is a fictional character and secondary protagonist of the 2012-2013 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Wizard. He made his first appearance as a cameo in the film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie War Ultimatum and made his television debut in episode 17. Kamen Rider Beast's motif is that of a lion and a chimera. Kosuke Nito is young man from the Fukui Prefecture who is rather optimistic, often believing that pinches and chances are sides of the same coin. He has a gigantic appetite and an unusual liking to mayonnaise, putting it on everything he eats, including doughnuts. He originally lived with his grandmother before he became a student archaeologist. During an expedition, Nito found the Beast Driver and broke the seal holding a horde of Ghouls at bay. Forced to become Kamen Rider Beast to defeat the monsters, Nito learns he unknowingly forged a pact with the Phantom Beast Chimera and must now consume other Phantoms for their magical energies to keep the Phantom fed, as if it dies, so will he. Through a misunderstanding as to how Kamen Rider Wizard functions in regards to absorbing and replenishing magical power, he labels Haruto his "eternal rival" when they first meet after Nito was targeted by Manticore on the assumption that he was a Gate. Despite it being possible for Haruto to simply use an Engage Ring to enter Nito's Underworld and destroy Beast Chimera, Nito initially refuses on the grounds that his Phantom would be too strong for Kamen Rider Wizard to handle and the experience would "leave a bad taste." Nito later explains that as an archeologist, he wishes to learn more about the Phantoms, the Beast Driver, and the Wizard Rings, believing he will never make as important a discovery as Beast Chimera again. When Nito attempts to end the second Sabbath, he is overpowered by Fueki. In risky gambit that could have killed him, Nito broke the Beast Driver to release Beast Chimera so he can devour all of the excess magical energies generated by the Sabbath to negate the ritual. In appreciation, the idea of eating not amusing, Beast Chimera spares Nito's life and frees him from their pact before leaving. Despite being a normal human again, Nito aided Haruto during the final battle. Once the Phantoms are finally defeated, taking Yuzuru as an apprentice, Nito decides to find Beast Chimera to learn more about the ancient Phantom. Nito eventually recaptures Chimera and seals it on the Beast Driver once more, but is forced to transform into Kamen Rider Beast once more to confront the Phantom Ogre and a copy of Koyomi he created using the Hope Ring, despite knowing that without Phantoms to consume, he will be eventually eaten by Chimera. After Ogre is defeated, he is consumed by the Nepenthes Inhumanoid under Kamen Rider Bujin Gaim's orders. Nito is later rescued by Kamen Riders Gaim and Wizard and assists them to defeat Bujin Gaim and in the occasion, learns that he can feed Chimera not only with Phantoms but with fruits from the Helheim Forest as well. Kamen Rider Beast Like Kamen Rider Wizard, Nito is able to become the mystically-powered Kamen Rider Beast, who is also referred to as the , by using the Beast Driver. Akin to Kamen Rider Wizard's Styles, Kamen Rider Beast can change to different forms known as , which are named after the special cloak-like attachments that gives him powers of different animals.

Chameleo Mantle is a form where Kamen Rider Beast is armed with a light green cape with the same name, accessed by the Chameleo Ring, giving him the ability to blend in with the environment and appear invisible to enemies. He is also able to use the coiled tongue ornament on the Mantle's shoulder pauldron as a whip. When Kamen Rider Beast turns into Chameleo Mantle, the Beast Driver chants .

Nito can cancel his transformation by closing the Revelations Door. At the end of the series, the Beast Driver is broken when Nito stabs it with the Hamel Cane, but later restored after Nito recaptures Beast Chimera.

Nito's magical power can only be replenished by consuming the magical power of defeated Phantoms, needing to consume a steady amount of magical power to survive. While he can use his own Wizard Rings, Nito is unable to use Haruto's Wizard Rings as they do not fit in his Beast Driver. However, Haruto is able to use Nito's Wizard Rings with the Wizardriver, which has its own set of effects. When scanned on the Wizardriver, his rings will announce instead of their actual names. ;Transformation Rings *: Transforms Nito into Kamen Rider Beast, and when used while transformed, allows him to perform his Rider Kick. ;Magic Rings *: Changes an ordinary belt into the Beast Driver.

By spinning the die and scanning the ring which corresponds to the current Mantle form Kamen Rider Beast is in, the Saber will activate a finisher based on that Mantle. Regardless of the Mantle being worn, a successful Saber Strike will summon a number of energy-based animal spirits which attack a target. The attack's effectiveness typically depends on the number the die lands on, with six being the strongest and one being the weakest. However, Kamen Rider Beast is capable of turning a roll of one into a powerful attack by making the spirit grow to an immense size with force of will. *Falco Mantle: Releases a number of energy-based falcons that shred the target. *Chameleo Mantle: Releases a number of energy-based chameleons that lash their tongues at the target. *Buffa Mantle: Releases a number of energy-based buffaloes that ram the target. *Dolphi Mantle: Releases a number of energy-based dolphins that bash the target. *Beast Hyper: Releases a number of groups of energy-based falcons, chameleons, buffaloes, and dolphins that rush the target.

Kosuke also has a separate Mirage Specter prior to receiving Hyper, and both his and the magnum's Mirage Specter on the Mirage Magnum can also be used in the same vein as Koyomi's crystal ball and can view what Green Griffon can see.
