Double Riders

This article is about a duo of riders who originated in Kamen Rider, the original series.

For the version in the Kamen Rider The First and Kamen Rider The Next film series, see Double Riders (The Series).

For the version in Shin Kamen Rider, see Double Riders (Shin Kamen Rider).

For Rider that appeared in Kamen Rider W, see W Riders.

The Double Riders: Hayato Ichimonji (Kamen Rider 2) and Takeshi Hongo (Kamen Rider 1), as seen together during the original Kamen Rider for the first time, when Hongo returned in the Sakuraijima arc.

Rider 2 and Rider 1 as seen in their "new" upgraded suits later in the show which they appear as to this day.

The Double Riders (ダブルライダー, Daburu Raidā) are what the first two Kamen Riders are known as collectively. Although Kamen Riders 1 and 2 are almost identical with very similar suits, they can be distinguished by the colors of their gloves and boots. While Kamen Rider 1 wears silver gloves and silver boots, Kamen Rider 2 wears red ones.

History

Before being transformed into the powerful hero, Kamen Rider 1, Takeshi Hongo (本郷 猛, Hongō Takeshi) was a college biochemistry student. Born in August 15, 1948, he is an intelligent young man with an IQ of 600 who attended Johnan University and enjoyed riding motorcycles. Hayato Ichimonji (一文字　隼人, Ichimonji Hayato), born October 10, 1949 is a free-lancer photographer, who was kidnapped by the organization Shocker in order to become a reconstructed human able to fight the deserter Takeshi Hongo, aka Kamen Rider.

While practicing for the grand prix, Hongo followed a group of bikers who were calling him out, only to fall into a trap sent up by the terrorist organization Shocker as they converted him into a super-powered cyborg before he woke up a week later as they were about to complete the process with brain washing. However, Hongo managed to escape Shocker's base by chance due to his college professor Midorikawa, who had been working for Shocker and was the man who selected Hongo to join the organization. The two were pursued by the Shocker Inhumanoid Man Spider and his forces as they hid out at warehouse 55 at the harbor. Unfortunately, Man Spider managed to track Ruriko to their location and killed the Professor as Ruriko arrived, blaming Hongo for her father's death before Man Spider took her. Pursuing them, Rider 1 fought through Man Spider's minions before battling the Inhumanoid, killing him with a Rider Kick.

As the Kamen Rider, Hongo battled Shocker's monsters before learning that Shocker recreated the original Kamen Rider cyborg design on Hayato Ichimonji in an effort to combat the threat that Hongo posed to their organization. Hongo helped Hayato escape from Shocker, leaving him to fight Shocker as Kamen Rider 2 while he left the country to fight Shocker's other branches around the world. Eventually, Hongo returned to Japan and, as Kamen Rider 1, joined forces with Hayato as the "Double Riders" to finish Shocker and then destroy the Gel Shocker organization that formed soon after.

Kamen Riders 1 and 2 next appeared in the sequel Kamen Rider V3. The titular V3 was Shiro Kazami, a junior of Hongo's, who begged them to turn him into a Kamen Rider after the murder of his family by the Destron organization. Despite initially refusing, when the young man was mortally wounded rescuing the duo from a deadly trap, the two Riders transformed him into Kamen Rider V3, possessing both Kamen Rider 1's "skill" and Rider 2's "strength". The Double Riders were apparently killed detonating an atomic bomb, but reappeared alive and well later on in the series. They then rejoined the battle with their junior and later Riderman as they managed to defeat Destron across the world.

The Double Riders introduce themselves to Kotaro Minami.

The Double Riders would make appearances in most succeeding Kamen Rider TV series, with the exception of Kamen Rider Amazon, Kamen Rider Super-1 (although they show up in Super-1's movie) and Kamen Rider Black. Kamen Rider 1 would lead the senior Riders once again in the final episodes of Kamen Rider Black RX.

"And as long as Riders exist, Dai-Shocker will never achieve its ambitions!"

―Rider 1 and Rider 2 confront Dai-Shocker.^[src]

Between Kamen Rider Kuuga and Kamen Rider Kiva, no past Riders appeared in the new live action productions of the franchise. However, in 2009, Kamen Rider 1 reappeared alongside the other Showa Riders to assist Kamen Rider Decade in the movie Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker. Kamen Rider 1 led the Riders from the Showa and Heisei periods in the final battle against Dai-Shocker and, alongside Kamen Rider 2, defeated Dai-Shocker's Jigoku Taishi, with help from Kabuto and Black RX. Rider 1 went on to help defeat Shadow Moon and Kingdark.

Let's Go Kamen Riders

During the events of OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders, the Greeed Ankh unintentionally altered the timeline that enabled Shocker to utilize a Cell Medal to create the Shocker Greeed. Though Kamen Rider New Den-O attempted to avert the process, the creation of the Shocker Greeed and his defeat of the Double Riders' were not negated. However, a boy trapped in the past, Naoki, ensured that Rider 1 and Rider 2 never had their mind-altering surgery completed and played the role of Shocker agents until they had no more need for the charade and were able to destroy the Shocker Greeed before helping Kamen Rider OOO put an end to the Great Leader.

Movie War Mega Max

The Double Riders, along with V3, Riderman, X, Amazon, and Stronger teamed up with Double, OOO, and Kamen Rider Fourze. Meteorites fell from space all over the world, carrying a mysterious substance called SOLU. Foundation X moved to obtain it and involved themselves in a battle against the first seven Kamen Riders. Foundation X's Lem Kannagi revealed that he planned to use the SOLU harvested from the meteorites that have been striking the Earth and combine it with the powers of the Zodiarts Switches and the Core Medals in order to eliminate the Kamen Riders so Foundation X can conquer all of humanity. When his plan comes to light, Gentaro Kisaragi and Eiji Hino team up with Shotaro Hidari, Philip, and the legendary seven Kamen Riders to take on Foundation X to save the world. ^{[Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max]}

Super Hero Taisen

The Double Riders were among the Kamen Riders caught up in the 'Super Hero Taisen' incident. They were sent to the dimensional rift, under the pretense of being defeated by Captain Marvelous while he was apparently hunting the Riders. When his and Tsukasa's ruse was revealed, They and the other Riders appeared through the dimensional wall. They then fought alongside all the other Kamen Riders and Super Sentai against Dai-Shocker and Dai-Zangyack's Shocker-Zangyack Alliance.

Super Hero Taihen

The Double Riders appear in the Super Hero Taihen net movie, Super Sentai Murder Mystery! You’re the Great Detective! as suspects for the murders of Shinken Pink, Gosei Pink, and Gokai Pink, as the evidence collected suggests a "Hopper"-themed rider is behind it.

Super Hero Taisen Z

Kamen Rider 1, with 2 by his side, appeared with Akarenger leading a force of Rider and Sentai reinforcements that came to assist the Riders and Sentai of recent years who were overwhelmed by the revived monster army of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou. The combined forces of superheroes were able to turn the tide against the Madou army. They lined up and used their various finisher attacks to destroy the revived monsters.

After Demon King Psycho was destroyed and the battle was finally over, 1 appeared standing on a cliff alongside 2 and the other heroes who appeared to help to say goodbye to the heroes of recent years before taking their leave, saying that they would meet again. ^{[Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z]}

ToQger Vs. Kamen Rider Gaim

Fifteen fighting with 1, 2, and V3

Riders 1 and 2, along with V3, came to rescue the ToQgers from the strongest warrior of the Underground Empire Badan, Kamen Rider Fifteen, leading to him retreating. The three Riders then proceed to take their leave, refusing to assist Gaim and his kin, as Rider 1 explains to ToQ 1gou that they do not associate with the Heisei Riders. ^{[Ressha Sentai ToQger Vs.

Super Hero Taisen GP

In an alteration to history orchestrated by Shocker, Riders 1 and 2, returning home after defeating the Great Leader of Gel Shocker, are confronted by a third cyborg, Kamen Rider 3. The Double Riders fight Shocker's Rider 3 only to be defeated and apparently killed.

However, their spirits remained, and were housed inside the History Modifying Machine. Later, through the power of the wind activating the Typhoon-like belt on the Rider Robo, they were able to revive themselves, undoing the other Riders' brainwashing. ^{[Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3]}

Video game appearances

KamenRide: 1

With the KamenRide: 1 (カメンライド1号, Kamenraido Ichigō) card, Kamen Rider Decade transforms into Kamen Rider 1 as seen in Super Hero Taisen. Previously, in All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, Decade Complete Form Jumbo Formation performed the Final Dimension Kick, a variation of the Dimension Kick, transforming the Shōwa, including Kamen Rider 1, and Heisei Riders into Kamen Ride cards for Decade to travel through as opposed to Final Attack Ride cards before hitting the target. Unlike his other Kamen Rides, Decade's Decadriver changes along with his costume, taking on the appearance of the Typhoon Belt. However, when Captain Marvelous (as Akarenger) strikes the "Typhoon" during battle, it seems to short out and changes back into the Decadriver, revealing "Rider 1" to be Decade after all.

In World of OOO, this Rider Card is consists of a modified green-colored Batta Medal. Used as O Medal by Eiji to utilize Legend TaToBa Combo (Batta Leg).

Behind the scenes

A Second Rider

Originally, Hiroshi Fujioka, who played the first Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo, did his own stunts as Kamen Rider 1. This made Kamen Rider history when early on in the show, Hiroshi shattered his leg in a motorcycle stunt gone wrong. This resulted in him being replaced by Takeshi Sasaki, who played Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider 2. Eventually, Hiroshi recovered, returning to the show alongside Takeshi, and the Double Riders were united.

Other Double Riders

V3 & Riderman

ZO & J in Kamen Rider World.

The team up between the titular riders of the 1990s Rider movies Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J is reminiscent of the original Double Riders. Like the Double Riders, ZO and J share a great resemblance to each other with a few visual differences so viewers can tell the apart.

After the Double Riders, Kamen Rider V3 featured the duo of V3 and Riderman. However, Riderman only appeared in the last fifth of the show and subsequent Showa era series focused on a single rider, though the Riders of the past would come to aid them on several occasions. But the impression the Double Riders left on the Kamen Rider Series would result in a "Primary Rider" teaming up with a "Secondary Rider" would become commonplace in the Heisei era. In several seasons, tertiary supporting Riders also join the team, forming groups of either three or four Riders as well.
