She would faithfully follow Kaito in hopes of helping Kaito become the man that would obtain the Forbidden Fruit. Prior the event where Yoko was recruited into Yggdrasill, she was a former spy working for a certain organization. She infiltrated Yggdrasill, getting the files from a lab computer, until she was caught by Ryoma Sengoku.
Instead of Yoko trying to fight him, Ryoma gives her an offer, to work with him in Yggdrasill as his assistant and bodyguard in which she eventually accepted. Like the Armored Riders and her fellow New Generation Riders, Kamen Rider Marika's forms are called Arms. Her Genesis Driver announces Soda before every transformation. By pushing the Genesis Driver's Seaboll Compressor into the Energy Lockseed after transforming from one to two times, Marika can activate one of two finishing moves based on her current Arms form: Squash or Sparking . In addition to the Genesis Driver's finishing moves, Marika can perform a Sonic Volley finishing attack by inserting an Energy Lockseed into the Energy Drive Bay of her Sonic Arrow.

- While assuming Peach Energy Arms, Marika dons the Peach Energy Armor Part and her Arms Weapon is the Sonic Arrow. Compared to her fellow New Generation Riders, Marika has the weakest punches and kicks, though this is made up for by Minato's own fighting prowess. She does, however, have an advantage over them in terms of jumping height and running speed, making her the swiftest of all the New Generation Riders.
- Yoko temporarily lost the ability to transform into Marika when her Genesis Driver was disabled due to Ryoma activating its kill switch. However, after Ryoma died, she took his Genesis Driver to transform again. It is unknown whether or not Marika gained a power boost as Ryoma's Genesis Driver was tweaked to be stronger than the other Genesis Drivers and had more functionalities built into it.
- Genesis Driver finisher
- Unnamed Rider Slash : Marika activates the Squash function on her Genesis Driver and fuels all the energy from the Peach Energy Lockseed into her body, which is then converted into her Sonic Arrow before she slashes the target.
- Sonic Arrow finisher
- Sonic Volley : Marika locks the Peach Energy Lockseed into the Sonic Arrow and fires a powerful arrow shot that when it hits a target traps them in a peach-shaped sphere before they are assaulted by multiple arrows being fired in a row.
