The **Kamen Rider Series** (仮面ライダーシリーズ, *Kamen Raidā Shirīzu*?, translated as Masked Rider Series) is a franchise of manga and tokusatsu television programs and films created by manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori. The various Kamen Rider media generally feature a motorcycle-riding superhero with a varying motif who fights supervillains often referred to as *kaijin* (怪人, **kaijin**?). The franchise began in 1971 with the *Kamen Rider* television series which followed college student Takeshi Hongo and his quest to defeat the world-conquering Shocker organization. Over the years, the popularity of the franchise has grown and the original series has spawned many television and theatrical sequels. The cultural impact of the series in Japan resulted in Akimasa Nakamura naming two minor planets in honor of the series: 12408 Fujioka, after actor Hiroshi Fujioka, known for his portrayal of Kamen Rider, and 12796 Kamenrider, after the series itself.

## Overview

Although each entry in the series is different, each one shares similar traits with one and another. All generally involve at least one young adult male transforming into a Kamen Rider to fight various monsters and organizations linked to that specific Kamen Rider's origin. As the series progresses, the Rider often learns more about the monsters in the series, other Kamen Riders, or the origin of his powers. Early Kamen Riders were generally based on grasshoppers and other insects, but this practice has declined in the newer set of shows in favor of other motifs. Usually referred to as Rider Machines, motorcycles are an integral part of the series. Since 1971, Suzuki originally provided motorcycles for the series until *Kamen Rider Agito* when Honda became involved and the single Ducati featured in *Kamen Rider W*. Early Kamen Riders wore scarves along with their costumes, but this practice was dropped after Kamen Rider Black until the appearance of Double.

A trait shared among recent Kamen Riders is their ability to change forms and become stronger versions of themselves. The first power up appeared in *Kamen Rider Stronger* which was used by the title character. Kamen Rider Black RX had multiple forms, Roborider and Biorider. Since then, every title Kamen Rider in the Heisei era has had at least one power up with Build having the most with 1607 form combinations following by OOO with 334.

All Shōwa era Riders gained their powers through some form of surgical alteration to their bodies, a practice seen only a few times. Heisei Riders on the other hand, starting with Ryuki, are armored suits powered by magic, advanced technology or sometimes both. The Heisei era of Kamen Rider varies greatly in its use of Kamen Riders. Whereas all early Kamen Riders fought on the side of justice and peace, there have been numerous Kamen Riders in the Heisei era that have fought for personal reasons such as greed, revenge and the personal enjoyment of battle. Because of this, recent Kamen Riders have become less eager to immediately join the battle of justice.

The one thing that all Riders have in common is the fact that their powers are all linked to the series' villains in one way or another.

### Rider finishers

Combat techniques generally remain somewhat consistent between series. The "Rider Kick" has become known as the signature attack for Kamen Riders. Although no Heisei era Kamen Rider before *Kamen Rider Blade* named their Rider Kick, it has still been a staple for every Kamen Rider series. Other variations include the Rider Chop and Rider Punch.

## Adaptations outside Japan

### Thailand

In 1974, Chaiyo Productions in Thailand produced the *Hanuman and the Five Riders*.

#### *Saban's Masked Rider*

In 1995, Saban produced the first American Kamen Rider adaptation after his success in adapting Template:SSS and the Metal Hero Series (VR Troopers & Beetleborgs).

#### *Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight*

In 2009, a new series was broadcast, produced by brothers Michael and Steve Wang. *Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight* features 12 warriors known as Kamen Riders who protect the parallel world of Ventara from the evil General Xaviax by using their Advent Decks. Xaviax begins seeking out corrupt humans on the Earth to give them the Advent Decks of Kamen Riders he has defeated in battle to act as his subordinates. Kit Taylor, who finds the Advent Deck to allow him to become Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, teams up with Len, who can transform into Kamen Rider Wing Knight, to defeat General Xaviax and save Kit's father who was captured by Xaviax and is held in Ventara. The footage in *Dragon Knight* comes from *Kamen Rider Ryuki*. While the series was cancelled before it finished its run, it later won the first Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Stunt Coordination at the 37th Daytime Emmy Awards. The series was also exported back to Japan where it was shown on Toei's pay-per-view channel and later shown on TV Asahi.

#### *Power Rider*

In 2011, Saban applied the copyright for *Power Rider*, but the license has been abandoned since 2014. Since then, a third adaptation of a Kamen Rider show has yet to be produced or announced as of 2023.

### Manga

***Notes***: *Due to various reason, many of past Kamen Rider manga were unable to find easily on internet such as licensed monthly/weekly magazine published manga, short promotional manga, 4-koma comic and non-Japanese comic. This wiki recommends users from **all over the world** to contribute or provide any information of these manga, better with at least one picture of them. Thank you.*

## Motifs

*Main article: Kamen Rider Motifs*
The most commonly seen theme in the Shōwa era was the grasshopper, a symbol that early Kamen Riders have become synonymous with. The Heisei era, however, explored other insects and sometimes even more extreme motifs such as other animals, the Greek alphabet, card suits, musical instruments, and vehicles.

## Homages and parodies

*Main article: List of references to Kamen Rider in popular culture*
The Kamen Rider franchise has been parodied in various productions, both in and outside of Japan. One of the main trademarks being parodied is the Kamen Rider henshin pose. In video games, Skullomania (from *Street Fighter*) and May Lee (from *King of Fighters*) are some examples of Kamen Rider parodies, as well as *Viewtiful Joe*. In anime, various aspects of Kamen Rider are noticeable. Examples range from *Tokyo Pig* to *My-HiME* and its sequel *My Otome* to *Crayon Shin-chan* to *Dragonball Z* to *Bleach* to *Franken Fran*; either being used as a comical parody or homage. In live action, known parodies of the Kamen Rider series include "Kamen Renaider" (by SMAP's Takuya Kimura and Shingo Katori), which is a parody skit of *Ryuki*, "Kamen Zaiber" a parody of the original; "Kamen Norida" by the Tunnels, a parody of Kamen Rider 1 and the first series; "Kamen Rider HG" Hard Gay's parody of the original for a Japanese TV show; and "Ridermen", a short skit of a man who obvious parody of the Riderman on the set of *Kamen Rider Kuuga*.

Akimasa Nakamura named two minor planets in honor of the series: 12408 Fujioka, after actor Hiroshi Fujioka, known for his portrayal of Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider 1, and 12796 Kamenrider, after the series itself.

## Notes

* Some series of the franchise have monsters in common. In Kamen Rider, Amazon, Black, Kuuga, Ryuki, and Hibiki, the first episode's monsters are based off of spiders, or have the ability to drop webs.
* Something in common between the Heisei Riders is that in every movie (since *Ryuki* to *Kabuto*) were pre-submitted Final Forms of Riders.
* Starting the Neo Heisei period, these "pre-shows" started on December's crossovers, and the forms are shown to be the Super Forms (except *Fourze*, *Gaim*, and *Drive*).
