Kamen Rider Girls

, stylized as KRGS on some occasions, is a Japanese idol group that was formed in 2011 by Avex and Ishimori Productions to commemorate the Kamen Rider 40th Anniversary. Each member had represented one protagonist each of the franchise by donning their represented hero's transformation belt, though this practice was scrapped in 2016 to better represent the franchise as a whole and to avoid licensing issues.
==History==
In October 2010, Toei announced in collaboration with the Columbia label and Avex Entertainment that an idol group was being formed and would debut at the SUPER HERO MUSIC STUDIO Vol.0. By November, Nagura, Yoshizumi, Hirokawa, Isaka, and Yasuda were announced as the first five starting roster and performed at the festival on November 29th with the songs "Koi no Rider Kick" and "Heart no Henshin Belt". 
In April 2011, the released their first single "Let's Go Rider Kick 2011", which served as the ending theme song to the film OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders. That November, Endo joined the group and replaced Hirokawa, who left due to medical issues. 
In September 2012, Akita joined the group during the press conference for Kamen Rider Wizard and would represent the series. By October, each member would take turns guesting on Toei's Official Kenichi Suzumura & Hiroshi Kamiya's Kamen Radiranger.
In July 2013, the group briefly rebranded themselves as the for their single "SSS ~Shock Shocker Shockest~", a persona in which they would don in any future live performance for the song going forward. Soon after, Sumi joined the group that following October during the their second solo live show. 
In 2015, Nagura announced her departure and graduated in April. Yasuda announced her departure in September. Kuroda was announced to join in November while Yoshizumi announced her departure that same month. 
By January 2016, Yasuda and Yoshizumi graduated from the group. With Kuroda's joining, the group would scrap specific Rider representation and strive to be a symbol for all of Tokusatsu going forward. 
In March 2017, Endo announced her departure shortly before the premiere of the group's radio show Let's Go Kamen Rider Girls and graduated with a final performance on May 3. 
On March 22, 2018, the group's fanclub Heart's Secret Base was announced and launched on April 1. In December, Kuroda announced her departure.
