Tachibana (Garren) and Date (Birth) come the closest. Hell, Tachibana's backstory is exactly that; though it doesn't quite continue in the series itself.

I thought about this for a minute, and I'm still not sure who I'd pick to reward/punish with Ankh's "assistance". I haven't watched nearly enough shows (so many of these responses are way over my head, but good on y'all for coming up with what sound like awesome pairings), so I don't have a lot of Primary Riders from which to choose. I circled around a few choices. I thought about Double, for the fun of having Two Dads try and wrangle Ankh, the cool and collected one getting just as nowhere as the half-boiled one. I thought about Ex-Aid, switching out Parado's puppy-like Let's Have Fun for Ankh's cat-like aloofness and general prickishness. Tough decision, for real. So I went with Drive, which is the best/worst of both worlds, saddling the Chaotic Neutral Ankh with a Lawful Good dude like Shinnosuke. Drive's out there trying to save the city, constantly having to split his focus to monitor for whatever weird probably-illegal thing Ankh is up to. Meanwhile, Ankh is trying to get his medals back, thwarted constantly by Drive's weird insistence on "obeying" "rules" (those words definitely sound made up). Both of them frustrated by the other's worldview, but just maybe, they'd learn to see the value of each other's point of NAH COME ON they would never stop annoying one another Japan is doomed.

I’d put Faiz with Baron. Tow emotionally withdrawn loners with differing views on the world. They’d probably have zero chemistry, which would add some hilarity to the whole thing

(Plus, you could have Gun Form and Cross-Z dragon match-up, as well as Kintaros and him training, even if it is different types of martial arts. It all works, I tell you!)

Man, everyone is coming up with all these great ideas with rich dramatic potential, and all I can think of is that you could pair Beast up with literally anyone and probably make a good comedy duo.
Is it okay if I ask another question instead? Because since Die just finished the only Heisei show without any secondary Riders, I feel like "who would you pair with Kuuga?" is a specific variation on the topic worth talking about. I'd go with Beast.

I'd go with Beast. Nitoh, squirting mayonnaise on a pizza then eating it: "Don't say it!" The real comedy potential is Kabuto with Genm (He counts, right?). Imagine those god complexes crashing.

If I gotta pick anyone to go with Ankh, it has to be our lord and saviour DCD; Tsukasa Kadoya.
Most main riders would play out similarily to Eiji, if not getting sick of him a little quicker. But Tsukasa is just so... Tsukasa that it’d be a joy to watch

Honestly I would just give Agito's powers to Ichijo to see how that plays out. |

My simple answer is Accel, since he's basically "what if Ichijou was a Rider". And there's certainly funny ones like Beast, for all the reasons noted. But I'm going to go with Lazer, and it's not just because Kiriya is maybe the best character in the Kamen Rider franchise. (Maybe it's from rewatching the Ex-Aid movies and Another Endings recently, but he kills in those. He's so great!) It's mostly that he's everything you'd need to help tell a story with Godai as the Primary Rider. He's got the investigative prowess of Ichijou, the scientific and analytical skills of Sakurako, and the medical expertise of Tsubaki, all wrapped up in one snarky package. Plus, he turns into a goddamn bike, so he can even replace BeatChaser2000 and Gouram! His Secondary Rider credentials are unimpeachable, serving as a stellar foil to empathetic neophytes like Ex-Aid, walled-off assholes like Brave, grumpy martyrs like Snipe, and megalomaniacal lunatics like Genm. He's got sidekick chemistry with everybody. For the kind of story you could tell with Lazer and Kuuga? I mean, I guess you've got a few. Kuuga as the veteran who acts like a rookie, Lazer as a young guy who sees all the angles. Kuuga teaching Lazer to trust in teammates while Lazer teaches Kuuga the value of keeping a few things close to the vest. Kuuga and Lazer, reminiscing about the times they got killed to become more powerful. A lot of storytelling possibilities with those two characters!
