Kamen Rider have their Main Rider a different personality unlike Super Sentai but they always give a same "Anti-Hero try to be badass" personality to secondary rider

The Second Rider typically has an attitude/personality and occasionally motivations that conflict with the Lead Rider. The Second Rider is the foil. Typically the Lead Rider is a fairly energetic or upbeat person, and so the Second, naturally, is more melancholic. It makes for a good if predictable dynamic (recent subversion in Drive with the roles reversed- Shinnosuke being fairly serious and Gou being the upbeat one) that keeps us from (usually) having an entire cast of shrieking, yammering idiots like tends to happen in Super Sentai.

Point being that tropes and archetypes exist for a reason- what's important isn't THAT they're used, it's HOW they're used.

Anyway yes, I hope the Lead is different from Takeru. He's... Haruto without everything that made Haruto endearing.

And I didn't even find Haruto that interesting.
