Double Riders original

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.

Double Riders

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.

Double Riders (RX)

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.

Decade and Double Riders

"As long as Riders are needed, we will never die!"
"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[]

DoubleRiderin40th

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.

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.

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 TaisenIcon-crosswiki.

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.

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[]

V3Riderman

V3 & Riderman

Kamen Rider J and ZO

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.

These are other duos of riders as well.

Appearances[]

Notes[]

  • Much as how the Seven Legendary Riders are considered the equivalent of the Six Ultra BrothersIcon-crosswiki, there are also several duos in the Ultra Series that can be considered as equivalent to the Double Riders.
