仮面ライダークウガ
Ishinomori died of heart failure on 28 January 1998, just three days after his 60th birthday. His final work was the superhero TV series, "Voicelugger", televised a year later. Two years later, the Kamen Rider series would be revived with "Kamen Rider Kuuga". All of the series made in the Heisei period credit Ishinomori as the creator. The Ishinomori Manga Museum named in his honor opened in Ishinomaki, Miyagi, in 2001. Special trains in the Senseki Line were commissioned featuring his artwork generally leading to the museum.
