About Shoma Stomach
Shoma is a young man from another world who transforms into Kamen Rider Gavv. He loves to eat and loves snacks. By eating snacks, he can create creatures called Gochizo who become his partners and main source of power as Kamen Rider Gavv.
According to Hidekazu Chinen on the animate Times website, Shoma is a cheerful and energetic young man who loves to eat. He is usually full of smiles and charm, and has a very innocent personality, but is actually a mysterious person from another world. If you look away, Shoma will go somewhere, and you can't understand him.
In addition, due to his fascination with the human world, Shoma has a strong curiosity, especially about snacks. According to mynavi news, Hidekazu Chinen believes that since Shoma is from another world, some things that humans usually see and touch in everyday life are new to him. To internalize that feeling, Hidekazu Chinen trains himself to think about the things he sees, even when he is casually walking down the street, as if it were the first thing he has seen in his life.
According to the MANTANWEB website, Hidekazu Chinen said that Shoma usually has a big smile on his face, but when Shoma is facing Granute who threatens humans, he shows a different expression.
