In 1987, Gorgom chose [[Kotaro Minami]] and [[Nobuhiko Akizuki]] as Century Kings. During their surgery, then current Creation King commanded the [[High Priests]] to place the powerful [[Holy King Stones]] into their bodies. Kotaro was implanted with the "[[Stone of the Sun]]", and was given the name ''[[Black Sun]]''. However, [[Soichiro Akizuki]], the father of the brothers, went against Gorgom and freed Kotaro from brain surgery. Nobuhiko received the "[[Stone of the Moon]]", and due to disrupted surgery, was in extended recovery before emerging as "[[Shadow Moon]]."

'''High Priestess Bishium''' (大神官ビシュム, '''Daishinkan Bishumu''') is a High Priestess, having her face divided between black and white, and a clear film covers most of her face. She can discharge laser beams from her eyes. After losing her powers from the "Stone of Earth" within her, she becomes the '''Grand Mutant Bishium''' (大怪人ビシュム, ''Daikaijin Bishumu''), a white-haired pterosaur-like creature. In this form, she still has her usual powers and she can spin around to create twisters.

When it came to the final confrontation with Kamen Rider BLACK, she tried to get the Kingstone from Kotaro by taking control of the mothers and capturing Kyoko. In the conflict, Bishium held Kamen Rider BLACK so that Shadow Moon can shoot a beam that will rip out Kamen Rider BLACK's Kingstone. It failed as Bishium is destroyed by that beam.

*'''[[Sword Master Birugenia]]''' (18-35) The legendary warrior member of Gorgom. He was born 30,000 years ago on a day of the solar eclipse like Kotaro Minami and Nobuhiko Akizuki. However, the Creation King did not favor him and therefore did not give him a Kingstone. He was then sealed in a coffin for almost trying to revolt against him. The three High Priests awakened him in Episode 18 when the Creation King reprimanded them for not doing their job. The Creation King gave orders to the High Priests to release the curse on the coffin he was imprisoned in. He was both a pain for Kamen Rider BLACK as well as to Gorgom. In episode 22, he turned his face white from 30,0000 years ago, making him more powerful and more arrogant. In episode 25, he had Yoichi Daimon's pupil Egami create the [[Hellshooter]]: an equivalent to Road Sector. He used it to challenge Kamen Rider BLACK and Road Sector only for the bike to be destroyed. In episode 34, he stole the Satan Saber (a sword to be used by the next Creation King) during Gorgom's latest attempt to use Kyoko's lifeforce to awaken Shadow Moon. Birugenia disrupted their plot. He attacked the Gorgom High Priests and made of Kyoko. The Creation King told the Gorgom High Priests to sacrifice the powers from their stones to awaken Shadow Moon. After Shadow Moon was born, he took the Satan Saber for his own personal use. Birugenia fought Shadow Moon who disarmed Birugenia and killed him.

Distinctly among the 70s and 80s run of the ''[[Showa Kamen Rider Series]]'', Gorgom was the first evil organization which was not seen to have an army of generic [[combatmen]], setting the precedence for the sporadic use of the staple in the ''[[Heisei Kamen Rider Series]]''. However, [[Ant Mutants]] served in this function in the manga.

Icon-blackThis article is about a villainous group in Kamen Rider Black.

The Gorgom (ゴルゴム, Gorugomu) is a mysterious cult and criminal group ruled by the Creation King. The group is notorious for its terrorist activities in the name of world domination and racial superiority over humanity.

Overview

As with most tokusatsu programs, this fictional criminal group is primarily based in Japan. Members of Gorgom consist of both human and non-humans. The group is notorious for its terrorist activities in the name of world domination. Their only formidable foe seems to be Kamen Rider BLACK, a failed creation.

History

For many years, Gorgom has been ruled by the mysterious Creation King. As Gorgom tradition dictates, a new King must be chosen every fifty millennia. The selection process involves finding several worthy candidates who will be transformed into mutants deemed Century Kings (世紀王, Seiki Ō), sentenced to fight for the crown with the survivor becoming the new Creation King.

In 1987, Gorgom chose Kohtaro Minami and Nobuhiko Akizuki as Century Kings. During their surgery, then current Creation King commanded the High Priests to place the powerful Holy King Stones into their bodies. Kohtaro was implanted with the "Stone of the Sun", and was given the name Black Sun. However, Soichiro Akizuki, the father of the brothers, went against Gorgom and freed Kohtaro from brain surgery. Nobuhiko received the "Stone of the Moon", and due to disrupted surgery, was in extended recovery before emerging as "Shadow Moon."

Kohtaro barely escaped with his life, but Nobuhiko remained captured by Gorgom, where he hibernated to become the next Creation King. Soichiro's actions were unforgivable, as Golgom sent five Spider Mutants to kill him.

After the successful assassination, Gorgom continues to terrorize the country, in order to defeat Kohtaro and take his Kingstone, and to rule the world.

When Shadow Moon caused the apparent death of Kamen Rider BLACK, it affected Japan with some of them leaving the country and some worshipping the organization. With Kamen Rider BLACK's revival, he finally confronts Shadow Moon and the Creation King. Upon the destruction of the Creation King, it was the end of Gorgom.

World of Black

Gorgom also exists in the A.R. World of Black, where it is fought by a alternate Kamen Rider Black who never became RX. Dai-Shocker's Apollo Geist arrived in this world prior to the World of Black RX, recruiting the Gorgom cult as a result. Gorgom's Rhinoceros Mutant was summoned by Apollo Geist to convince Schwarian of the Crisis Empire to join Dai-Shocker. He is summoned again to help protect Apollo Geist from Black RX, only to be quickly destroyed by Black's Rider Punch. [RX! Dai-Shocker Attack] [Black × Black RX]

Convinced that the bike should not used for evil means, he hid it in a safe place. When Gorgom discovered it, they sent the Bat Mutant to kill him and Hotaru, wife of Akira Daimon. His son, Akira, hid in the mountains and trained his son Kenichi on how to ride a motorbike in order to master the Road Sector.

Allies

File:Master Sword Birugenia.jpg
  • Sword Master Birugenia (18-35) The legendary warrior member of Gorgom. He was born 30,000 years ago on a day of the solar eclipse like Kohtaro Minami and Nobuhiko Akizuki. However, the Creation King did not favor him and therefore did not give him a Kingstone. He was then sealed in a coffin for almost trying to revolt against him. The three High Priests awakened him in Episode 18 when the Creation King reprimanded them for not doing their job. The Creation King gave orders to the High Priests to release the curse on the coffin he was imprisoned in. He was both a pain for Kamen Rider BLACK as well as to Gorgom. In episode 22, he turned his face white from 30,0000 years ago, making him more powerful and more arrogant. In episode 25, he had Yoichi Daimon's pupil Egami create the Hellshooter: an equivalent to Road Sector. He used it to challenge Kamen Rider BLACK and Road Sector only for the bike to be destroyed. In episode 34, he stole the Satan Saber (a sword to be used by the next Creation King) during Gorgom's latest attempt to use Kyoko's lifeforce to awaken Shadow Moon. Birugenia disrupted their plot. He attacked the Gorgom High Priests and made of Kyoko. The Creation King told the Gorgom High Priests to sacrifice the powers from their stones to awaken Shadow Moon. After Shadow Moon was born, he took the Satan Saber for his own personal use. Birugenia fought Shadow Moon who disarmed Birugenia and killed him.
  • Doctor Takuya Ishida (6) The head of the Ishida Psychiatric Lab, he turned several kidnapped artists into psychics and sent them to infiltrate various corporations in order to conduct economic sabotage.

For Gorgom's human members, being transformed into a Mutant is the ultimate reward for their loyalty. Each Mutant is based on an animal or plant lifeform. Among those Mutants were the:

Behind the scenes

Gorgam served as the evil organization in the Kamen Rider BLACK TV series and manga.

Distinctly among the 70s and 80s run of the Showa Kamen Rider Series, Gorgom was the first evil organization which was not seen to have an army of generic combatmen, setting the precedence for the sporadic use of the staple in the Heisei Kamen Rider Series. However, Ant Mutants served in this function in the manga.
