Kamen rider : the first generation

The origin of every rider

Kamen Rider (仮面ライダー,) translated as Masked Rider, is a weekly sci-fi story created by renowned Japanese mangaka Shōtarō Ishinomori (石ノ森 章太郎,). It debuted as a tokusatsu television series on April 3, 1971 and ran until February 10, 1973, airing on the Mainichi Broadcasting System and NET TV (now TV Asahi). A manga adaptation was also featured in Shōnen Magazine around the same period. The series has spawned many sequels and evolved into a franchise which is still going after 3 decades. 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 Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider 1 and 12796 Kamenrider, after the series, itself.

The first generation
