History

Chou Super Hero Taisen

As one of five Goriders, Aka-Rider was an extra character unique to the Game World and the reward of the Chou Super Hero Taisen tournament. Ultimately, among 16 competing teams, the tournament was won by Team Ex-Aid who became the Goriders with the form of Aka-Rider being accessed by Emu Hojo. By performing the Rider Hurricane together, Ex-Aid's Goriders were able to destroy the Andor Genesis mothership by striking the ball to its core. Their objective achieved, Emu's Aka-Rider transformation was retracted as his Game World teammates returned to their card forms and left. ^{[Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen]}

Return of Gorider

Aka-Rider's card.

The Gorider cards were evidently retained by Emu, who would give them to a group of five Kamen Riders whom had been assembled by Kuroto Dan as part of his sinister plot to revive. With the form of Aka-Rider being granted to Kamen Rider Baron, Kaito Kumon, this new team of Goriders used the Gorider Bazooka to defeat Kamen Rider Genm. ^{[Maze 3: Gorider Forever]}

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Aka-Rider was voiced by Hiroki Iijima (飯島 寛騎, Iijima Hiroki) in Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen and Yutaka Kobayashi (小林 豊, Kobayashi Yutaka) in Kamen Sentai Gorider. His suit actor is Seiji Takaiwa (高岩 成二, Takaiwa Seiji), who has been the suit actor for the majority of leading Heisei Kamen Riders (except Kuuga & Hibiki) and Sentai Red (NinjaRed - TimeRed, MagiRed).

Conception

Aka-Rider's design is a hybrid based on Akarenger of the Gorengers and Kamen Rider New 2.

Notes

• Of Aka-Rider's 17 candidates, 12 were Riders and 5 were Rangers.
• Kamen Rider Baron as Aka-Rider is a nod to his real-life actor's interview where he was originally auditioned and casted as Captain Marvelous/GokaiRed in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, until he turned down the project and gave the role to Ryota Ozawa, who he admitted that they look alike.
• Out of the 5 Gorider's Aka-Rider is the only one with yellow chest armor.
