The one that started it all.Kamen Rider (translated in English as Masked Rider) is a Japanese tokusatsu series created by Shotaro Ishinomori and produced by Toei Company. It is the first entry in the Kamen Rider series aired from 1971-1973.Takeshi Hongo was once an ordinary college student and motorcycle enthusiast until the day he was abducted by a secret evil organisation called Shocker. Taken to their underground labs, Takeshi became a victim of Shocker's Super-Soldier program and was transformed into a grasshopper cyborg against his will. But before they could complete his Brainwashing, Takeshi was set free by the Heroic Sacrifice of an unwilling Shocker scientist named Professor Midorikawa. Now Takeshi uses his physical and mental enhancements to fight against Shocker and prevent another tragedy like his, re-christening himself as the Kamen Rider.He is later joined by Kamen Rider 2: Hayato Ichimonji, a photographer who Takeshi saves from the same Super-Soldier program. His second ally is Kazuya Taki, an intrepid FBI agent investigating Shocker.Kamen Rider has had three theatrical tie-ins during its run: Go Go Kamen Rider is a repurposed Episode 13, while Kamen Rider Vs Shocker and Kamen Rider Vs Ambassador Hell are original stories.Ishinomori also wrote a manga version of the series concurrently with the show, which was finally published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment on January 4, 2022.The series would be remade as a movie twice; Kamen Rider: The First (2005) and Shin Kamen Rider (2023).

Darker and Edgier
 Kamen Rider / int_14beeefd
comment
The whole franchise remains a bit Darker and Edgier than its sister series; though not as gritty as the very early episodes, you're probably gonna suffer more, and lose people whose deaths were not the obligatory origin story ones if you're a Rider than if you're a Ranger.

comment
Episode 10 involves Shocker conning unsuspecting dog owners into offering up their animals for a human sacrifice, and then kidnapping said owners. While we're sadly led to believe the poor dogs didn't make it, what happened to the kidnapped men and women is never really stated. Well, other than a throwaway line about Shocker sparing the men for experimentation, which has some disturbing implications for the women we specifically saw showing up at the trap.

Crapsack World
 Kamen Rider / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: In the manga version, the world is a lot more uncomfortable place where rapid industrialization, governmental corruption and neglect runs deep, leaving the rest of the population having to suffer for it. Shocker itself was explicitly a product of this very system, and at the end it's greatly implied that the corrupt system that bred the problem of Shocker in the first place sees little chance of actually improving.

Alternate Continuity: Series creator Shotaro Ishinomori wrote and drew a Kamen Rider manga alongside the series, which goes into a very different direction - Hongo is killed by the Shocker Riders. Ichimonji, one of the latter, fights off the brainwashing and replaces him. Hongo later returns as Rider 1 as his brain was saved and placed into a mechanical body.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Kamen Rider / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Compared to the rest of the series, regarding the transformations. As mentioned above, Ichimonji was the first Rider to have a traditional henshin sequence. And in the very first instance, he zips open his vest (to expose his belt) in the middle of posing. Later, the henshin movements become an unbroken sequence of poses. More noticeably, the iconic Rider Kick was nonexistent at the start, and the first named finisher in the series was the Rider Throw. It began showing up in Episode 6, but it wouldn't see frequent usage until after episode 13. The standard Toku Defeat Equals Explosion didn't show up for a dozen or so episodes. Monsters until then went out with a variety of rather unconvincing disintegration effects, including an especially bizarre technique where a villain's demise was indicated by a shot of beaded necklaces being unspooled in reverse. And in its earliest, grittiest days, there were no special effects for it; villains being tossed off roofs with the "effect" being blood spraying over the ground was not uncommon. Even if it was clearly red paint being thrown from offscreen, it was still unnerving.

Mid-Season Upgrade: Somewhat reserved compared to later series. When Rider 1 returns to Japan, his suit has changed slightly in appearance (nicknamed "Sakuraijima #1") and his Cyclone bike has been modified to bring it in line with the improved model used by Rider 2. When Rider 1 takes the show back full-time, he gets new powers (becoming New #1) and a New Cyclone along with some new duds to go with them. Rider 2 also gets a power-up to match his predecessor when he starts Commuting on a Bus.

Horrifying Hero: The effect isn't as striking nowadays, but Kamen Rider when it came out was a noticeably much more intimidating and surreal figure compared to other heroes at the time such as Ultraman.

 Kamen Rider / int_697b5232
comment
Those Wacky Nazis: Shocker's use of Nazi theming is far from subtle at times. Some of the official info suggests that Shocker was established by surviving Nazi officials. Hell, their Christmas episode involved Ichimonji Hayato dropping a mountain on a bunch of old Nazis who'd gathered up for a party. That, and to become wolf monsters. However, the manga and subsequent background material actually subvert this later on, by revealing Shocker to have ties with numerous other organizations and groups, including religious cults, the military, and most notably governmental parties in the manga

Fully Absorbed Finale: Although the series wasn't cancelled, the final episode hints strongly that Shocker's leader survived, and that plot thread only would be finally resolved in Kamen Rider Stronger's finale, which brought back Hongo and Hayato and also featured Tobei Tachibana. Until the next series, anyway.

Surreal Horror
 Kamen Rider / int_72d31973
comment
Surreal Horror: A mild example of this, but nonetheless, in the first 13 episodes of the series, Shocker, from their headquarters to their monsters and combatants, were often filmed in very bizarre and deranged ways. Lighting changes, experimental camera angles and just the more alien feeling compared to the more mundane parts. Especially notable is whenever Shocker's presence itself starts changing the ordinary setting into something more surreal. This was mostly dropped after Ichimonji came around though.

Put on a Bus: Hongo and Ruriko leave Japan to fight Shocker in Europe after #13 with little prelude and Ruriko having apparently been as much in the dark as everyone else during the "Where's Hongo?" arc. Her departure consists of Ichimonji pretty much saying "oh, and Ruriko went with him." And when Hongo returns, Ruriko does not.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Kamen Rider / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Hayato Ichimonji, and more importantly Kamen Rider 2, were created when Hiroshi Fujioka, who played Hongo, shattered his leg in a motorcycle stunt gone wrong. When Fujioka broke his leg and needed to be replaced, the writers came up with four possible solutions to continue the series: get a new actor to play Takeshi and act as if nothing has changed, give Takeshi a cosmetic surgery to explain the different actor, retool the series completely by changing the main character and setting, or simply continue the same story with a new main character. Ultimately they went with the fourth choice and they were eventually able to get Fujioka and the original Rider back on the show after he recovered. Also, in the episodes leading up to Ichimonji's arrival, there were a few episodes where they used stock footage and a voiceover (who sounded nothing like Fujioka) for Hongo, and as they began to run out, the supporting cast really got to shine as there were more and more episodes where Hongo's only involvement was fighting the monster while suited up and then riding off without a word. Ruriko, Tachibana, and eventually Taki would do all the investigating and figuring out what was going on, and Tachibana really grows into the guy we're going to know the rest of the series and across series yet to come. The series took on quite a different, more mysterious feel.

Red Oni, Blue Oni
 Kamen Rider / int_8411ab92
comment
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Hayato Ichimonji/Rider 2 and Takeshi Hongo/Rider 1 respectively. Hayato Ichimonji is a lot more flirty and madcap than the serious and straight-laced Hongo (albeit with a lot more levity than usually associated with Blue Onis). However, it's slightly subverted in that the former took things in a more personal level, whereas the latter wouldn't give up a chance to openly laugh at the villains. Appropriately enough, Rider 2's suit is universally recognized as having red gloves and boots, and in Rider 1's original appearances he was blue. On Shocker's side we have the cold and calculating Doctor Shinigami and the hot tempered Ambassador Hell.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Kamen Rider / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: A rare number of Shocker's human members make a Villain: Exit, Stage Left, their fates remaining unknown. Episode 10 involves Shocker conning unsuspecting dog owners into offering up their animals for a human sacrifice, and then kidnapping said owners. While we're sadly led to believe the poor dogs didn't make it, what happened to the kidnapped men and women is never really stated. Well, other than a throwaway line about Shocker sparing the men for experimentation, which has some disturbing implications for the women we specifically saw showing up at the trap. Hurricane Joe, a secondary villain episodes 16-17, disappears after being bested by Kamen Rider 2. Most notably is Doctor D, the white-haired Shocker scientist who identifies Kamen Rider 1's weakness in #97, the penultimate episode. His fate was revealed 42 years later.

Back from the Dead
 Kamen Rider / int_8967e17f
comment
Back from the Dead: Starts the tradition of bringing back old monsters when they are needed. The common explanation in the franchise is that they have returned "from hell" by the power of the Great Leader. However, #16 does also establish that Shocker can create a new incarnation of a cyborg monster simply by modifying another human. #13 has the return of all of the Shocker monsters faced up to that point led by a new monster, Tokageron. #27 has Mukaderas being assisted by a revived Gebacondor and Sarracenian. #37 has Torikabuto assisted by revived monsters Kanibubbler, Mukaderas, Mogurang, Armadillong. #41 has Ghoster assisted by revived Armadillong and Mogurang. The film Kamen Rider vs. Shocker has Zanjioh assisted by a massive army of revived monsters.note Fly Man, Mogurang, Saboteguron, Arigabari, Dokugandar (Imago Form), Pranodon, Gilgalass, Egyptus, Antlion Thunder, Torikabuto, Dokudahlian, Sarracenian, Kinokomorgu, Mukaderas, Kamestone, Armadillong, Namekujira, Zanburonzo, Ghoster, Unicornos, Kanibubbler, Wolf Man, Todogirah, Spider Man, Gamagirah, Dokugandar (Caterpillar Form), Yamogeras, Eiking, Snowman, Scorpion Man, Isoginchak, Bat Man, Gebacondor, Grimreaper Chameleon, Arikimedes, Musasabeedle. #66 sees the return of Zanjioh, Jaguarman, Poison Lizard Man, Harinezuras and Saigang. #68 shows Saigang and Kabutorong alive again. The film Kamen Rider vs. Ambassador Hell has another monster army.note Kabutorong, Cockroach Man, Gireera, Semiminga, Jaguarman, Saigang, Sea Snake Man, Earthworm Man, Eiking, Ghoster, Pranodon, Kinokomorgu, Zanjioh, Dokumondo, Musasabeedle, Zanburonzo, Poison Lizard Man.

Henshin Hero: Pretty much the Trope Codifier for Japanese media. At first, Hongo reconfigures the Cyclone bike into its transformed form to increase its speed via Nitro Boost, for the Typhoon belt to absorb the wind to change him into the Kamen Rider. Then after Shocker created another Kamen Rider, Ichimonji strikes a pose and shouts out "Henshin" to transform into Kamen Rider 2. Hongo adapts the Henshin pose later on after gaining its upgrade form as Kamen Rider New 1.

Alas, Poor Villain: When Shocker became Gel-Shocker, the first order of business was to dispose the weaker members - namely the human Shocker mooks, who were gruesomely killed by the monsters. Bat-Man in the original manga, after being impaled with a cross, Kamen Rider 1 feels a bit sorry for him since he was probably also a man turned into a monster against his will.

Fake a Fight: When Taki, Tachibana, Ichimonji and a Victim of the Week get thrown into Hitodanger's prison in Episode 18, Taki brings up the bright idea of starting a fight to get the guards' attention and ambush them. While the normal throws an actual punch, the plan (which was just swinging wildly and shouting at each other) worked like a charm.

By the Power of Grayskull!: The series' signature phrase "Henshin!" did not appear until Kamen Rider 2 was written in. Hongo's wind-powered transformation initially involved simply exposing the belt turbine while riding, or while flipping through the air, with nary a word said. Ichimonji, however, had a belt that's still wind-powered, but with a sort of cover over the turbine. The henshin command caused it to open.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Happens to pretty much every supporting character with the exception of Tobei Tachibana. Ruriko averts this in that she at least had an explanation for leaving, but not for not having returned with Hongo. Taki's first appearance in Episode 11 sees him getting married. This would be the first and last time we ever see or hear about his new wife.note Aside from a brief passing mention around episode 15. She's entirely forgotten by the 20s, where the show starts hinting at a romance between Taki and Mari until the latter's own disappearance from the show. Shiro, the waiter at Tachibana's Snack Amigo, disappears shortly after Tachibana establishes the Racing Club, last appearing in #15. Hiromi Nohara, who was introduced as a friend of Ruriko's in #1, last appears in #34. Of the three girls introduced in #14, Michi is the first to go, last appearing in #25. The second is Mari, who last appears in #38. Emi and Mika are introduced in #40, having aided Hongo in Europe. Mika last appears in #52, while Emi lasts to #68. Tokko was introduced in #53 to replace Mika and lasts up to #69. Goro Ishikura, kid brother of Yuri, the third Rider Girl introduced back in #14, last appears in #65, shortly following the introduction of his friends Naoki and Mitsuru. His disappearance is especially jarring since his sister lasts all the way to the final episoded along with Naoki, Mitsuru plus Yokko and Choco, new girls introduced in #70. However, none of these five appear at all in the follow-up series, V3, nor does Taki.

When Fujioka broke his leg and needed to be replaced, the writers came up with four possible solutions to continue the series: get a new actor to play Takeshi and act as if nothing has changed, give Takeshi a cosmetic surgery to explain the different actor, retool the series completely by changing the main character and setting, or simply continue the same story with a new main character. Ultimately they went with the fourth choice and they were eventually able to get Fujioka and the original Rider back on the show after he recovered.

Also, in the episodes leading up to Ichimonji's arrival, there were a few episodes where they used stock footage and a voiceover (who sounded nothing like Fujioka) for Hongo, and as they began to run out, the supporting cast really got to shine as there were more and more episodes where Hongo's only involvement was fighting the monster while suited up and then riding off without a word. Ruriko, Tachibana, and eventually Taki would do all the investigating and figuring out what was going on, and Tachibana really grows into the guy we're going to know the rest of the series and across series yet to come. The series took on quite a different, more mysterious feel.

Expy: Kamen Rider was actually developed as a Virtuous Character Copy of Skull Man with the Unwilling Roboticisation angle comes from Cyborg 009. This reference was brought full circle when Kamen Rider Skull was created for Kamen Rider Double. In Ishinomori's manga, Hongo is pretty well a grasshopper-themed version of Batman: He operates out of a super-advanced laboratory built beneath his family's mansion with the help of his loyal butler. Shocker is arguably one to Black Ghost.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Averted. When it turned out that Fujioka needed to be replaced, the character Hayato was created to be the new main protagonist and titular hero. However, rather than being a Hongo clone, Hayato had his own distinct appearance, a clearly different personality and the tone of the show became a bit more light-hearted with his introduction. As a result, he stood out from his predecessor and the series' ratings actually rose during his tenure as protagonist.

comment
You Killed My Father: Ruriko initially believes that Hongo, rather than the off-screen Man Spider — killed her father. She does learn otherwise, however.

One-Winged Angel: Shocker's executives are modified humans who reveal their true forms in their Last Villain Stand. Colonel Zol's is Golden Wolf Man, Doctor Shinigami's is the squid-like Ikadevil, Ambassador Hell's is the rattlesnake-like Garagaranda and General Black's is the leech-chameleon hybrid Hiruchameleon.
