Biography
Sho Fukamachi (Japanese: 深町 晶, Hepburn: Fukamachi Shō) was a human who was born in the modern age where he lived in Japan as the son of Fumio Fukamachi (深町 史雄 Fukamachi Fumio).
One day, he and Tetsuo went to Lake Narusawa which was an old spot from their childhood where they often spent time together. Whilst there, they heard an explosion when a mysterious object landed near them with the pair investigating. As Tetsuo examined it, a trigger was sent and the device fell in the arm of Sho whereupon it activated thus encasing him in its substance. In a panic, he stumbled into the lake as the organism bonded to him and turned him into the Guyver. He then emerged from the waters where he found Tetsuo confronted by Gregoyle Zoanoid with him helping defeating the monster. The confused Sho came to see that he had been transformed into an inhuman being and he screamed in despair which was when the armour unequipped from him turning him back to normal. Afterwards, he attempted to understand the events that happened recently where he tried to return back to a normal life. They were then met by people claiming to be from the authorities that were investigating the incident at Lake Narusawa. However, these agents turned out to be Zoanoids who were looking for the host of the Guyver Unit on behalf of their masters at the Chronos Corporation. It was during this fight that Sho came to learn how to summon the Guyver which he used to protect Tetsuro Segawa and destroy the Zoanoids.
The next opponent Sho had to face was an inspector from the Chronos named Oswald A. Lisker. He happened to had found another Guyver Unit and became Guyver II. With his superior combat training, he came to nearly overpower Fukamachi who barely escaped alongside Tetsuo after damage to Lisker's Guyvers control medal caused his opponent to stall in the midst of the fight. Sho was able to gain back the upper hand and kill him on the very same day he made his attack on the high school Sho, Tetsuro and Mizuki attended. With Lisker dead, and even knowing what would befall him if his Control Medal were ever to be removed, Sho attempted to return to his normal life. His next day at school was rather placid, though not without some small annoyances along the way. Once they had finished the last of their work for the Sci-Fi Club, Sho and Tetsuro headed for their respective homes, clearly intending to walk together for as long as they could. On their way home, Sho, curious about Agito since Mizuki had clearly taken an interest in him, began to question Tetsuro about the older boy. Tetsuro, who had been close to the older boy some time ago, told him what he knew about Agito's past. Sho, who had grown up with a father, a mother, and a fairly normal life, was sympathetic to Agito's situation.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Sho Fukamachi was a young male human who had black hair and a slim build. After bonding to the Guyver Unit, he was the first actively known user of the bio-weapon leading to him being labelled as Guyver I.
According to Agito, his emotional makeup showed that he had a strong attachment to daily life where he wanted a peaceful existence alongside friends and family. This was described as being a very human characteristic with him fighting for this everyday life that people tended to take for granted.
Sho was the son of Fumio Fukamachi who was a widower whose wife had died when their son was very young. During his mother's funeral, Sho was said to had been quiet the entire time until after everyone had left whereupon he had cried intensely for her.
He happened to be a close friend of the Segawa family. In fact, his best friend happened to be Tetsuro Segawa with the two often spending a lot of time together. He also had a longstanding crush on Mizuki Segawa who was the younger sister of Tetsuro.
Powers and abilities
Originally, Fukamachi was an ordinary human who was in high school with no special training. After his encounter with the Guyver Unit, he came to be a host to the bio-booster armour and organism giving him superhuman abilities. Upon being bonded to the Guyver, the organism came to reside in his body where he could equip or unequip it at will with him shouting the word Guyver for it to encase his body.
From the Relic, he came to possess a greater form of bio-armor where he wielded the Guyver Gigantic. It was formed from the substance of the destroyed Creator's bio-ship where his biological and neurological essence merged with it. Within the Chrysalis, he came to yearn for greater power to be able to fight the more powerful foes he was facing at the time. After sometime, this came to form a larger suit that formed around his Guyver with this being the Guyver Gigantic that had far greater abilities.
