Kamen Rider Shocker Kaijin

The Kaijin that appeared in the very first entry of the Kamen Rider series, *Kamen Rider*.

They’re split into two groups: **Shocker Kaijin** (ショッカー怪人 *Shokkā Kaijin*) and **Gel-Shocker Kaijin** (ゲルショッカー怪人 *Gerushokkā Kaijin*). They’re both remodeled humans, most of which were chosen for their excellent intellect and physical strength, who were modified and brainwashed into cyborgs. Each Kaijin explodes upon being defeated due to a self-destruct device installed in the buckle of their belts for confidentiality. Although, some of them were able to return back to being a human being upon being defeated and released from the influence of the brain remodeling.

## Shocker Kaijin

The Shocker Kaijin are created by the secret organization, Shocker, where they were once human beings who were selected by the Shocker computer, which has all the data of all humans all over the world.

* Shotaro Ishinomori drew some of the Shocker Kaijin designs in the early days, but when he became busy to draw more, the rest of the Shocker Kaijin designs were handled by Mikami Mutsuo and Akira Takahashi.
* The design for the Kaijin’s belts were inspired by a champion belt.
* Some materials say that Ishinomori invented the concept of synthesizing living things for the Gel-Shocker Kaijin.
	+ However, the producer, Seiji Abe, testified that the concept was decided by him and Toru Hirayama.
* Despite the concept for the Gel-Shocker Kaijin being easily decided, the concept of synthesizing living things was difficult to design.
