==Personality ==
{{nihongo|'''Hayato Ichimonji'''|一文字 隼人|Ichimonji Hayato}} is {{nihongo|'''Kamen Rider 2'''|仮面ライダー2号|Kamen Raidā Nigō|Masked Rider 2}}, a character from the Japanese Tokusatsu Television series ''Kamen Rider'', the first in the famous ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' franchise of tokusatsu programs. The secondary Protagonist of the series, like [[Takeshi Hongo|Kamen Rider 1]], is a motorcycle-riding superhero modeled upon a grasshopper.
 
  +
Hayato is an optimistic man who tries to make people happy even in the darkest moments, despite his own misfortunes. Although originally resenting his cybernetic enhancements, Hayato learnt to accept them with time, now proud to call himself a Kamen Rider. He often exhibits a playful sense of humor and tendency to tease others, even in the face of danger.
   
  +
Being a freelance cameraman, Hayato has an artistic side, with a clear policy of what he captures through his camera. This policy includes an absolute refusal to take pictures of solely women, feeling uncomfortable doing so.
== Personality ==
 
Ichimonji is an optimistic man who tries to make people happy and cheerful even in the darkest moments despite his own misfortunes. Although he originally resented his cybernetic enhancements, he has nonetheless learned to live with it as he fights evil around the world. It was hinted that the reason Ichimonji is a photographer is because he wanted to capture the smiles of people.
 
   
  +
Though more cheerful compared to Takeshi's initial attitude, several moments imply Hayato's anger toward Shocker surpass even his predecessor. Disgusted with the organization's cruel actions, Hayato continues to face them with all his might, ensuring the safety of everyone in the world.<br />
Originally, Ichimonji was rather naive, hot headed, and simple in contrast to the more sharp and calm personality Hongo had. It was after sometime did Ichimonji learn to think more with his head and matured to the point where he became a mentor to Kazami alongside Hongo. Although he matured more, Ichimonji doesn't seem to have lost his kindness and good nature as shown in later episodes and sequels.
 
   
  +
== Biography==
It was hinted in one of the Climax Hero games that Ichimonji is a strict teacher compared to Hongo throughout dialogue between him (Ichimonji) and Kazami.

Born October 10, 1949, Hayato Ichimonji is a freelance photographer, kidnapped by the organization [[Shocker]] in order to become a reconstructed human able to fight the traitor [[Takeshi Hongo]], A.K.A. Kamen Rider. Before Shocker scientists had a chance to brainwash him, Takeshi appears and saves Hayato. Takeshi leaves Japan to fight Shocker branches overseas, and leaves Hayato to become his successor as Kamen Rider, protecting Japan from Shocker.
   
  +
Arriving in Japan to cover for Takeshi, Hayato first makes his presence known to [[Tobee Tachibana]] and [[Kazuya Taki]] while they investigated attacks by Shocker cyborg [[Sabotegron]]. Initially playing coy as to his identity, he finally reveals that he is, like Takeshi, a Kamen Rider, transforming in front of them to defeat Sabotegron. {{Storylink|The Devil Sabotegron Attacks}}. Hayato would then work with Tachibana and Taki and regularly stayed at the [[Tachibana Racing Club]]. He and Taki served as the primary defense against Shocker's attacks in Japan for the time, confronting [[Colonel Zol]], [[Dr. Shinigami]] and [[Jigoku Taishi]]'s schemes.
==Biography==
 
[[File:Kamen rider 2.jpg|thumb|Kamen Rider 2]]
 
Born October 10, 1949, Hayato Ichimonji is a free-lance photographer, kidnapped by the organization [[Shocker]] in order to become a reconstructed human able to fight the deserter [[Takeshi Hongo]], aka Kamen Rider. Before Shocker scientists had a chance to brainwash him, Hongo appears and saves Ichimonji's sanity. Hongo leaves Japan to fight Shocker branches overseas, and Ichimonji becomes his successor as Kamen Rider, protecting Japan from Shocker's actions.
 
   
Some time later, Takeshi Hongo returns to Japan and fights alongside Ichimonji. Now, Hongo is known as '''Kamen Rider 1''' and Ichimonji, '''Kamen Rider 2'''. The pair is occasionally called "The [[Double Riders]]". With Hongo back, it's Ichimonji who now leaves Japan for training in South America. Near the end of the series, Rider 2 is back to help Rider 1 to defeat Gel-Shocker, Shocker's new denomination.

The Double Riders next appeared in the sequel Kamen Rider. The titular V3 was [[Shiro Kazami]], a junior of Hongo's, and 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 assisting them, the two Riders transformed him into Kamen Rider V3, possessing both Kamen Rider 1's "skill" and Rider 2's "strength". After fighting and being unable to stop Bazooka Turtle (presumably due to giving Kazami a portion of their power which temporarily weakened them) they decided to stop Bazooka turtle by unleashing their full power to stun him and grabbed him while jumping at a great height to detonate the atomic bomb. The [[Double Riders]] were initially thought to be killed by said bomb, but reappeared alive and well later on in the series.

X would later be defeated and captured by the villain monster [[Tiger Nero]], who wanted the plans for the RS Mechanism, which G.O.D. would use to create a powerful weapon, in exchange for his rescue.

Neo Shocker troops start kidnapping many people around Japan in order to work as slaves in their operation to bring about a large volcanic eruption in Japan. The seven Riders spread around Japan to fight against various attacks from Neo Shocker. In a later battle, [[Skyrider]] is easily wounded and left unconscious while trying to face Gurand Bazarmy. While he recovers, the Riders communicate telepathically with the unconscious [[Hiroshi Tsukuba]]. The Riders tell Skyrider that he should go through an intense training where he'd receive their powers, multiplying his strength 20 times to fight against Gurand Bazarmy again.

After Skyrider's training is finished, all Riders leave to face Neo Shocker again. Skyrider faces Gurand Bazarmy, while the Legendary Seven fight against Neo Shocker's Second Generation Cyborgs troops. Gurand Bazarmy and his army quickly fall before the Riders.

Neo Shocker makes an alliance with an alien, the self-proclaimed [[GingaOh]], and starts an operation to detonate Mount Fuji.

Having located Neo Shocker's main base, Hayato and Shigeru summoned their fellow Riders from across the world, uniting the Seven Legendary Riders. They head to Neo Shocker's underwater base, only to be faced with a giant dragon, Neo Shocker's, [[Great Leader]] himself. Kamen Rider 2's and everyone else's attacks prove to be ineffective against the Great Leader, however, they hold on long enough for Skyrider to arrive. Skyrider stuns the Great Leader by shooting his foot with a crossbow, and, using the opportunity, all Seven Legendary Riders hit him with their Rider Kicks, knocking down the giant. However, he was still alive and decides to explode alongside a giant bomb, taking out not only himself but Earth itself by destroying its atmosphere. The eight Riders combine their powers and use Skyrider's Sailing Jump together, grabbing the Great Leader and taking him to the distant sky, where they all explode, all eight Riders seemingly perishing alongside it when in truth they were blasted across space until they regrouped in Super-1. {{Storylink|Farewell, Hiroshi Tsukuba!

The 11 Riders face Gran Zairus, but even a combined Rider Punch with the power of the 11 Riders is useless against him.

Afterwards, Rider 2 and the other Riders helped evacuate the city's population and start to plan defensive measures for the next battles. However, a second Rider 1 appears during their meeting.

Unfortunately when the monsters knocked down, they quickly get up again. When the battle seems hopeless, Colonel [[Maribaron]], the one behind this attack, reveals that the monsters don't die as long as she keeps a set of golden feathers with her, but Biorider returns, alive, stealing the feathers. Rider 1 receives one of the golden feathers, and V3 holds [[Harmful Nimp]] while he uses the feather to stop it. Biorider then destroys the monsters all by himself.

The first volume of the revived Kamen Rider Spirits Manga gives readers a more detailed origin story of Hayato and how he became Kamen Rider 2.
   
After witnessing Kamen Rider 1's battle with Bat Man from afar while on a rooftop, Hayato began investigating Kamen Rider and Shocker's activities. He then observed Takeshi Hongo from a distance and took photographs of him from 800 meters away, which Takeshi detects thanks to his super hearing. He then was followed by Takeshi on his motorbike and the young photojournalist said he simply wants the truth and has learned about Shocker. Hongo was silent about the issue and after leaping over an oncoming truck, told Hayato to stay away from Shocker if he valued his life. Hayato introduced himself to Hongo and told him he would still pursue the truth regardless.

Hayato introduced himself to Takeshi and told him he would still pursue the truth regardless.
   
 
Hayato interviews victims and relatives of Shocker victims, who try to convince Hayato of their story and give details on Shocker. As he gets angry about all the pain the organization has caused, he then gets a call from [[Ruriko Midorikawa]] who wishes to speak with him. He learns her father's murderer was not who she thought it was and wants Hayato to drop the investigation. Hayato asks her if she knows the Kamen Rider and correctly deduces that he is Takeshi Hongo, which causes her to slap him after his teasing and prodding.

The manga then showcases an alternate version of [[Tokageron and the Big Monster Army |Episode 13]], with Hayato witnessing Takeshi become Kamen Rider while observing the FBI trying to investigate Shocker. While Kamen Rider is pre-occupied with the Revived Kaijin army, the agents on the stakeout are ambushed by more of the Kaijin. Most of them are killed, but Hayato rushes in to save the last two, beating down the Kaijin with his bare hands. Dr. Shinigami observes these events and decides Hayato would be the perfect candidate for "The Next" project. Shinigami then orders the monsters to capture Hayato, who despite his injuries manages to fend them off long enough for the other FBI agents to escape.

While Kamen Rider is pre-occupied with the Revived Monster Army, the agents on the stakeout are ambushed by more of the monsters. Most of them are killed, but Hayato rushes in to save the last two, beating down the monsters with his bare hands. Dr. Shinigami observes these events and decides Hayato would be the perfect candidate for "The Next" project, which aimed to create a cyborg that could kill Takeshi Hongo. With Hayato proving himself a capable fighter even as a human, Death then orders the monsters to capture Hayato, who despite his injuries manages to fend them off long enough for the other FBI agents to escape before being taken.
   
When the agents bring a blueprint of a Shocker base in Yumesima Landfill to Ruriko, Kamen Rider investigates with Kazuya Taki and finds Hayato converted into a cyborg. He saves him, but Hayato is unable to control his super strength. Hayato at first doesn't accept what he is, but then comes to the aid of Kamen Rider when Shocker sends the Shocker Riders to destroy him, christening himself as Kamen Rider 2. While looking around the base, Ruriko finds a fleet of motorcycles and [[Cyclone (Rider 2)|steals one]] for Hayato to ride. After a long and brutal fight, Hayato destroys the last Shocker Rider with his first true [[Rider Punch]]. Hayato then collapses from his injuries and Takeshi repairs his body, lamenting that maybe he should not have saved him as now he has led another down the hellish path he walks. Takeshi thinks that his humanity made him desire a friend to quell his loneliness, and as if a twisted answer to his desire, another individual has become like him. However, Hayato accepts what he is and wants to fight alongside him. The volume ends by stating that despite Takeshi's lament, nine heroes now walk the same path as Takeshi.

==Powers and Abilities==
== Fighting skills ==
 
Even at the start of his appearance Ichimonji was already a six degree judo black belt and a five degree in karate showcasing his skills. After becoming Kamen Rider 2, Ichimonji became strong enough to defeat Shocker cyborgs that even Hongo initially couldn't defeat on his own showing how much of a gap there was between them. After Hongo trained and became physically stronger it seemed Hongo has surpassed Ichimonji. Ichimonji does still show a lot of skill though, and can still keep up with Hongo in a tag battle. Even though Hongo is the more famed one in terms of skill, one shouldn't underestimate Ichimonji for just his strength.
 
   
==Kamen Rider 2==
+
=== Powers ===
  +
  +
* '''Artificially Enhanced Physiology''': From Shocker's modifications, Ichimonji has superhuman abilities augmented far beyond the most gifted athletes, capable of threatening demonic monsters, interdimensional beings, and cosmic entities.
  +
* '''Hyper Strength''': In human form alone, Ichimonji can destroy steel objects, jump down from tall buildings, and fight the Great Leader's lieutenants.
  +
* '''Hyper Durability''': Hayato has withstood oxygen deprivation, absolute zero, a nuclear bomb, and an explosion which sent him into outer space.
  +
* '''Mind Link:''' From their similar cyborg designs, Hayato is able to telepathically link with Hongo and/or Kazami; said link powerful enough to undo Shocker's brainwashing.
  +
* '''Instant Healing''': Through receiving a strong gust of wind, Hayato may recover from any physical injuries.
  +
  +
=== Abilities ===
  +
*'''Master Combatman''': Since before Shocker's modification, Hayato was trained in judo and karate, being a master at both. As Kamen Rider 2, Hayato is only slightly outdone by Takeshi in skill<ref>[[Kamen Rider Snack]] #457</ref>.
  +
*'''Bike Racer''': Hayato is a capable motorcyclist, able to defeat Shocker Rider 1 in a drag race. However, among the Tachibana Racing Club, Hayato is vastly inferior to Takeshi and Kazuya, deemed by Tobee as an "amateur" in technique.
  +
*'''Photography''': His unique policies aside, Hayato is a skilled photographer, being a professional in the trade. Humorously, both Hajime Aikawa/Kamen Rider Chalice and Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade have praised Hayato as fellow cameramen, asking for tips to improve their photography.<ref>''[[All Kamen Rider: Rider Revolution]]''</ref>

===Helmet===

===Helmet ===
  +
Kamen Rider 2's helmet has received a multitude of changes throughout the franchise:
Kamen Rider 2 originally appeared with a dark green/silver helmet, when his costume was updated as Kamen Rider New 2, he had a silver helmet as with [[Takeshi Hongo|Kamen Rider New 1]]. In Rider 2's return in the movie ''[[Kamen Rider V3 vs. Destron_Mutants|V3]]'', he had a dark green helmet, possibly because of how similiar his design is to Rider 1's final suit. However, in the tv show, Rider 2 reappeared with the light helmet The same happened in X's tv show and movie, with Rider 2 having a dark helmet in [[Five Riders vs. King Dark]], but a light one for his tv appearance. Finally, in Stronger, Rider 2 reappeared with an even darker, basically black helmet, which kept being used for all of his appearances up until the ''[[Kamen Rider ZX]]'' [[Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!|TV special]]. He returned to the light helmet during ''[[Kamen Rider Black RX]]'' and his first two [[Heisei]] crossover appearances, ''[[Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker]]'' and ''[[OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders|Let's Go Kamen Riders]]'', but in ''[[Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max|Movie War Mega Max]]'', the black helmet returned and was also used in ''[[Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen]]''. The helmet returned to its light color in ''{{TK|Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z}}'' and ''[[Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai]]''. The black helmet is also used in ''[[Kamen Rider Spirits]]'' and ''[[Kamen Rider SD: Strange!? Kumo Otoko|Kamen Rider SD]]''.
 
  +
*Originally, his helmet was colored dark green and white, in contrast with Kamen Rider 1's teal and grey helmet. In the later episodes of his original run, including the Sakurajima arc and in ''[[Kamen Rider vs. Shocker]]'', a black helmet was introduced, and was used interchangeably with his dark green helmet up until episode 52. When his costume was updated as Kamen Rider New 2, he gained the same helmet as [[Takeshi Hongo|Kamen Rider 1]]'s new suit.
  +
*In Kamen Rider 2's return in the ''[[Kamen Rider V3 vs. Destron_Mutants|V3]]'' movie, he once again had his original dark green helmet, possibly due to being too similar to Kamen Rider 1. However, in the ''V3'' series, Kamen Rider 2 still has his light green helmet. The same happened in the'' Kamen Rider X ''show and film, with Kamen Rider 2 having a dark helmet in [[Five Riders vs. Kingdark]], but a light one for his television appearance.
  +
*Finally, in Stronger, Kamen Rider 2 reused the black helmet, which kept being used for all of his appearances up until the ''[[Kamen Rider ZX]]'' [[Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!|TV special]]. He returned to the light helmet during ''[[Kamen Rider Black RX]]'' and his first two [[Heisei]] crossover appearances, ''[[Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker]]'' and ''[[OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders|Let's Go Kamen Riders]]'', but in ''[[Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max|Movie War Mega Max]]'', the black helmet returned and was also used in ''[[Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen]]''. The helmet returned to its light color in ''{{TK|Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z}}'' and ''[[Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai]]'', and has remained as such in future crossovers ever since.
  +
*The black helmet is also used in ''[[Kamen Rider Spirits]]'' and ''[[Kamen Rider SD: Strange!? Man Spider|Kamen Rider SD]]''.
  +
*It is to be noted that nearly all of New 2's appearances featuring the black helmet involve his association with the [[Seven Legendary Riders]], wherever they were featured as a group distinct from the rest of the Showa Riders.

==Notes==
 
*The character of Kamen Rider 2 was created when [[Hiroshi Fujioka]] suffered a motorcycle accident when doing his own stunts as Kamen Rider. With Fujioka unable to play his role, the show producers chose to create another Kamen Rider, with a different stunt actor for action scenes.

*Contrary to popular belief, Kamen Rider 2 is the first Rider to transform without any external sources. Kamen Rider 1 originally transformed by using his Cyclone bike, until around the events of ''[[Kamen Rider vs. Shocker]]''.
[[File:Hayato_the_Tank_Crusher.png|thumb|Hayato displaying near-Superman levels of strength.]]
 
  +
*In the Malaysian English dub, both Kamen Rider 2 and Kamen Rider 1 are called "''Black Mask Rider''".
*Due his long experience as well as the amazing feats he has shown throughout the series, Ichimonji may well be one of the most powerful Riders in the franchise.
 
**The exact upper limits of his trademark super strength are unknown, but it was demonstrated in a chapter of Kamen Rider Spirits that Hayato can lift a tank and hurl it a few feet away.
 
*It seems that Ichimonji didn't go to college as hinted in the Kamen Rider series unlike his predecessor Hongo or their direct successor Kazami.
 
*Kamen Rider 2 was also the first Kamen Rider to have a transformation movement. Most of the Kamen Riders after him follow this trend. Later, Kamen Rider 1 also adopts his own transformation movement.

Icon-kamenriderThis article is about a Kamen Rider in Kamen Rider, the original series.

For the reboot version from Kamen Rider The First and Kamen Rider The Next, see Hayato Ichimonji (The Series).
For the reboot version from Shin Kamen Rider, see Hayato Ichimonji (Shin Kamen Rider).

"Hayato Ichimonji is the cyborg known as Kamen Rider. He was reconstructed by Shocker, an evil organization hell bent on ruling the world. The Kamen Rider stands against them for the sake of all humanity."
―Opening narration[src]

"In Hongo's place, I will protect Japan... As Kamen Rider!"
―Ichimonji introducing himself as the second Kamen Rider to Tobee Tachibana and Kazuya Taki[src]

"Even if God or Buddha are not around, there is always Kamen Rider."
―Taki appraising Ichimonji to Dr. Mami[src]

"[Very impressive!! What is your mission objective and ID!?]
[Justice. Kamen Rider No.2]"
―Ichimonji to General Gwin[src]

Hayato Ichimonji (一文字 隼人, Ichimonji Hayato) is a main protagonist of Kamen Rider. A freelance photographer who was turned into a cyborg by Shocker to defeat Takeshi Hongo, Hayato is later saved by the former and takes his place to defend Japan as the Kamen Rider (仮面ライダー, Kamen Raidā, "Masked Rider"). When his predecessor returned from his battles overseas, Hayato would then assume the title of Kamen Rider 2 (仮面ライダー2号, Kamen Raidā Nigō, Masked Rider 2), or Kamen Rider 2-go[1].

Personality

Hayato is an optimistic man who tries to make people happy even in the darkest moments, despite his own misfortunes. Although originally resenting his cybernetic enhancements, Hayato learnt to accept them with time, now proud to call himself a Kamen Rider. He often exhibits a playful sense of humor and tendency to tease others, even in the face of danger.

Being a freelance cameraman, Hayato has an artistic side, with a clear policy of what he captures through his camera. This policy includes an absolute refusal to take pictures of solely women, feeling uncomfortable doing so.

Though more cheerful compared to Takeshi's initial attitude, several moments imply Hayato's anger toward Shocker surpass even his predecessor. Disgusted with the organization's cruel actions, Hayato continues to face them with all his might, ensuring the safety of everyone in the world.

Biography

Kamen rider 2

Kamen Rider 2

Born October 10, 1949, Hayato Ichimonji is a freelance photographer, kidnapped by the organization Shocker in order to become a reconstructed human able to fight the traitor Takeshi Hongo, A.K.A. Kamen Rider. Before Shocker scientists had a chance to brainwash him, Takeshi appears and saves Hayato. Takeshi leaves Japan to fight Shocker branches overseas, and leaves Hayato to become his successor as Kamen Rider, protecting Japan from Shocker.

Arriving in Japan to cover for Takeshi, Hayato first makes his presence known to Tobee Tachibana and Kazuya Taki while they investigated attacks by Shocker cyborg Sabotegron. Initially playing coy as to his identity, he finally reveals that he is, like Takeshi, a Kamen Rider, transforming in front of them to defeat Sabotegron. [The Devil Sabotegron Attacks]. Hayato would then work with Tachibana and Taki and regularly stayed at the Tachibana Racing Club. He and Taki served as the primary defense against Shocker's attacks in Japan for the time, confronting Colonel Zol, Dr. Shinigami and Jigoku Taishi's schemes.

Sometime later, Takeshi Hongo returns to Japan and fights alongside Hayato. Now, Takeshi is known as Kamen Rider 1 and Hayato, Kamen Rider 2. The pair is occasionally called "The Double Riders". With Takeshi back, Hayato left Japan to fight Shocker in South America. Near the end of the series, Kamen Rider 2 returns to help Kamen Rider 1 to defeat Gel Shocker.

V3

V3-al-hayato

Hayato as seen in Kamen Rider V3.

The Double Riders next appeared in the sequel, Kamen Rider V3. The titular V3 was Shiro Kazami, a junior of Takeshi's, and he 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 assisting them, the two Riders transformed him into Kamen Rider V3, possessing both Kamen Rider 1's "skill" and Kamen Rider 2's "strength". After fighting and being unable to stop Bazooka Turtle (presumably due to giving Kazami a portion of their power which temporarily weakened them) they decided to stop Bazooka Turtle by unleashing their full power to stun him and grabbed him while jumping at a great height to detonate the atomic bomb inside it away from Tokyo. The Double Riders were initially thought to be killed by the explosion, but reappeared alive and well later on in the series.

X

Rider 2 vs

Kamen Rider 2 after facing down Kingdark.

G.O.D.'s forces attacked various points of Tokyo. Meanwhile, to fight against this threat, the previous four Riders return from various points around the globe, with Kamen Rider 2 returning from Paris. The five Riders, following one of Franken Bat's bat spies, head to one of G.O.D's bases. After fighting through G.O.D.'s revived monsters, the five Riders face Franken Bat. The four Riders help X execute the "Rider Super High Kick" technique, destroying Franken Bat. They then invade a G.O.D. base and face Kingdark, but the entire complex turned out to merely be an illusion, which disappears while Kingdark taunts them. [Five Riders vs. Kingdark]

Kr X 34

2 with V3 and X

When Tobee Tachibana was captured by Leech Dracula, he appeared and saved Tobee. While X remained to face Leech Dracula, Kamen Riders 2 and V3 went ahead to stop Kingdark at once, however, Kingdark easily sealed the path to him, avoiding facing them. [Fear! Kingdark's Revenge!!]

X would later be defeated and captured by the villain monster Tiger Nero, who wanted the plans for the RS Mechanism, which G.O.D. would use to create a powerful weapon, in exchange for his rescue. Tobee Tachibana gave the plans, only to be captured too, but he had also called Shiro Kazami, who transformed into V3 and saved them. However, they were unable to recover the plans. In a later encounter, when Tiger Nero attempted to use the newly built weapon against them, it turned out that one of G.O.D.'s scientists was actually Hayato Ichimonji in disguise, who had sabotaged the experiment. The three Riders then fought together and stopped Nero. Kingdark then appearec before them to challenge them. [The Weapon of Terror Aims at Three Riders!!]

Kamen Riders 2, V3, and X all went their own ways looking for G.O.D.'s main base, but neither 2 nor V3 found it on time, leaving the final battle to X by himself. [Farewell, X-Rider]

Stronger

Stronger-al-hayato

Hayato as seen in Kamen Rider Stronger.

After the destruction of the previous evil organizations, he returns with Kamen Rider 1, coming back from India to rescue Stronger who was hanging on a waterfall from Marshal Machine, Commander Jishaku, and Armored Knight who were trying to lure and trap X and Amazon. Later he fights as well and nearly loses against Marshal Machine while Kamen Rider 1 fights against Armored Knight and Kamen Rider Stronger fights against Commander Jishaku. After Commander Jishaku and Armored Knight were defeated and captured by Kamen Riders 1 and Stronger, he points a gun against Commander Jishaku and Armored Knight and tries to negotiate with Marshal Machine by telling him if he wants his two subordinates alive, he must release both Kamen Rider V3 and Riderman. However, Marshal Machine tells them that if his two subordinates are not released, he will order his troops to kill both V3 and Riderman. Just when it seemed like there was no choice but to free both of his subordinates, Kamen Rider X and Kamen Rider Amazon appeared to tell them that it was no longer necesary since they freed both V3 and Riderman. The seven riders, which would be known as the Seven Legendary Riders, grouped together for the first time and marched against the Delzer Army, who had captured Tobee Tachibana. Finally, Stronger finished off Marshal Machine. They reunite with their mentor Tachibana, but soon a familiar voice welcomes them: Delzer Army's Great Leader.

The Great Leader reveals that he had been behind the Delzer Army, Gel Shocker, and other previous evil organizations opposed by the Riders. He takes on the form of a rock giant, impervious to the attacks of the Riders. However, they combine their powers and go into his body. There, they find a giant alien brain that self destructs in an attempt to kill all seven Riders, but they all escape successfully and leave, reminiscing about everything they've gone through so far. [Goodbye! The Glorious Seven Riders!]

Skyrider

Hayato in Skyrider

Hayato as seen in Skyrider.

The evil organization Neo Shocker moved ahead with its plans of global genocide. Hayato Ichimonji, Kamen Rider 2, alongside the other Seven Legendary Riders fought around the world against it, leaving Japan's protection to the new Kamen Rider, Hiroshi Tsukuba, Skyrider.

Rider 2 in Skyrider 27

Kamen Rider 2 returns to Japan.

Eventually, Neo Shocker gathers a Second Generation Cyborg Corps in Japan, led by Gurand Bazarmy, known as the Strongest Cyborg on Earth, and also plans to launch a direct offensive with an experimental tank, the Varithium Cannon, led by Hirubiran. To save Japan, the seven Riders return and, alongside Skyrider, destroy the experimental Varithium Cannon and Hirubiran. However, they are soon challenged by Gurand Bazarmy and his troops. [Tank and Kaijin the Second Generation Corps, Full Force of Eight Riders]

Rider 2 in Skyrider 28

Kamen Rider 2 witnesses the Powered Skyrider.

Neo Shocker troops start kidnapping many people around Japan in order to work as slaves in their operation to bring about a large volcanic eruption in Japan. The seven Riders spread around Japan to fight against various attacks from Neo Shocker. In a later battle, Skyrider is easily wounded and left unconscious while trying to face Gurand Bazarmy. While he recovers, the Riders communicate telepathically with the unconscious Hiroshi Tsukuba. The Riders tell Skyrider that he should go through an intense training where he'd receive their powers, multiplying his strength 20 times to fight against Gurand Bazarmy again.

After Skyrider's training is finished, all Riders leave to face Neo Shocker again. Skyrider faces Gurand Bazarmy, while the Legendary Seven fight against Neo Shocker's Second Generation Cyborgs troops. Gurand Bazarmy and his army quickly fall before the Riders. After the battle is over, the Seven Riders leave Japan again, to fight Neo Shocker all over the world, while Skyrider remains to protect Japan. [Eight Riders' Great Training of Friendship]

Neo Shocker makes an alliance with an alien, the self-proclaimed GingaOh, and starts an operation to detonate Mount Fuji. When Skyrider is ambushed by another troop of second-generation Second Generation Cyborgs led by Jaguar Van, all seven Riders arrive to face their forces and allow Skyrider to proceed. After the battle, all 8 Riders leave to fight Neo Shocker elsewhere. [Eight Riders vs. GingaOh]

Having located Neo Shocker's main base, Hayato and Shigeru summoned their fellow Riders from across the world, uniting the Seven Legendary Riders. They head to Neo Shocker's underwater base, only to be faced with a giant dragon, Neo Shocker's, Great Leader himself. Kamen Rider 2's and everyone else's attacks prove to be ineffective against the Great Leader, however, they hold on long enough for Skyrider to arrive. Skyrider stuns the Great Leader by shooting his foot with a crossbow, and, using the opportunity, all Seven Legendary Riders hit him with their Rider Kicks, knocking down the giant. However, he was still alive and decides to explode alongside a giant bomb, taking out not only himself but Earth itself by destroying its atmosphere. The eight Riders combine their powers and use Skyrider's Sailing Jump together, grabbing the Great Leader and taking him to the distant sky, where they all explode, all eight Riders seemingly perishing alongside it when in truth they were blasted across space until they regrouped in Super-1. [Farewell, Hiroshi Tsukuba! Eight Heroes Forever....]

Super-1

Rider 2 in Super-1 movie

Kamen Rider 2 appears to help Super-1.

Kazuya Oki, Kamen Rider Super-1, fought against the Dogma Kingdom to stop them from awakening an ancient weapon. However, in his way stood the Dogma Revenge Corps, troops of rebuilt cyborgs from the Dogma Kingdom and Neo Shocker. When he seemed overwhelmed by his enemies, Kamen Rider 1 suddenly reappeared, followed by the other 8 previous Riders, all alive. V3 tells Super-1 to let that battle in their hands, and soon they fight against Dogma's troops to open the way for Super-1. V3 briefly faces Dogma Fighters, Gyosutoma, ArigiThunder. Fighting alongside Riderman, V3 finishes off Zombieda with a throw while his partner does the same to Ganigannii. V3, Riderman, and X go on to use a triple Kaiten Kick to finish off, respectively, Kamagirigan, Snakecobran, and ArigiThunder. Thanks to the help of the Riders, Super-1 reaches Dogma's troops on time and stops them. After the battle, the Riders show themselves to Super-1 and his friends and promise to fight for humanity's future together. [Kamen Rider Super-1 (film)]

ZX

Rider 2 in ZX special

Kamen Rider 2 backs up ZX against Badan.

The Badan Empire, led by Kurayami Taishi, spread its claws around the world, and, to face it, the nine Riders came together. When Badan initiated its Spacetime Rupture System, a destructive dimensional weapon, all 9 Riders gathered in Japan to stop them.

Badan's base was located, and all 10 Riders went towards it. Kurayami Taishi welcomed them and sent all of Badan's troops against the Riders. V3 faced Dokuga-Roid and his Combat-Roids again, and after a long battle managed to destroy him by throwing him onto a fallen Yamaarashi-Roid. Afterward, Kamen Riders 2 and V3 teamed up against Jūjin Ōmukade, a revived Gedon monster. however, before the battle could be finished, Kurayami Taishi attempted to use hostages to make the Riders surrender. His plan fails due to Super-1's interference and Kurayami Taishi decides to use the Spacetime Rupture System, only to destroy Badan's remaining troops. After V3's call, the ten Riders gather their power with Rider Syncro, weakening Kurayami Taishi and allowing ZX to finish him off. After Darkness is defeated, evil energy gathers in the shape of a giant skull, The Generalissimo of Badan, giving farewell to the Riders and laughing at them.

V3 bestows upon ZX the official name Kamen Rider 10 and soon all Riders part ways again to continue their battle against evil around the world. [Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!]

Kamen Rider 2, alongside the other Nine veteran Riders, fought against the secret forces of the Crisis Empire spread throughout the world, defeating them in each country. However, Crisis's main forces, in Japan, still remained and they prepared a final offensive. Kamen Rider 1 called all Riders to a meeting in a secret facility in Arizona, to prepare for the upcoming battle, where they'd go to help Kamen Rider Black RX, the Kamen Rider that was defending Japan at the time.

Kamen Rider 2 introduces himself to Kohtaro Minami.

After the Crisis Empire's war declaration, they immediately sent Gran Zairus, which landed on Earth like a meteor, destroying an entire island. Naval Commander Bosgun moved to attack Black RX, soon receiving help from Gran Zairus, who could resist all of RX's attacks. When Bosgun is about to finish him off, Kamen Rider 1 arrives, blocking his attack and kicking him away. The 9 Riders arrive shortly afterward, rescuing RX and quickly escaping. Kamen Rider 2 and the others introduce themselves to Kohtaro Minami. Bosgun finds them and meeting Kohtaro and Kamen Rider 1 proposes a duel against Black RX. However, Kohtaro's friend, Kyoko Matoba soon notices a Chap hiding behind some crates to prepare an ambush and flushes it out. As the 10 veterans fight them off, Black RX faces Bosgun in a fair match and destroys him.

Meanwhile, Gran Zairus easily rips through the Japanese defense forces and brings down the city with his unmatched power. Kohtaro decides to fight, but Kamen Riders 1 and 2 argue that even Black RX's attacks are ineffective against Gran Zairus and they need a strategy before facing it again. Kohtaro decides to fight anyway, even if he dies trying. He leaves to fight again, and Kamen Rider 2 and the other Riders follow him. [Fight! All Riders]

The 11 Riders face Gran Zairus, but even a combined Rider Punch with the power of the 11 Riders is useless against him. Gran Zairus transforms into a flaming rock, burning above 1000°C, and easily knocks out Kamen Rider 2 and the others. In the end, Black RX becomes Biorider and manages to destroy Gran Zairus from the inside out, but seemingly explodes with it.

RX 45

The Riders realize there is an impostor among their ranks.

Afterward, Kamen Rider 2 and the other Riders help evacuate the city's population and start to plan defensive measures for the next battle. However, a second Kamen Rider 1 appears during their meeting. The real Kamen Rider 1 accuses the impostor and punches it, making it reveal its true form, Harmful Nimp. The 10 Riders face Spirit World Demons, resurrected Crisis warriors. Unfortunately, when the monsters knocked down, they quickly get up again. When the battle seems hopeless, Colonel Maribaron, the one behind this attack, reveals that the monsters don't die as long as she keeps a set of golden feathers with her, but Biorider returns, alive, stealing the feathers. Kamen Rider 1 receives one of the golden feathers, and V3 holds Harmful Nimp while he uses the feather to stop it. Biorider then destroys the monsters all by himself.

With Kohtaro alive, the 10 Riders decide to spread themselves to observe and take on the Crisis forces, while Black RX protects his friends. [False Rider's Last Days]

Wanting revenge against Black RX, a powered up General Jark, commander of the Crisis forces, gains a new form called Jark Midler, kills Sunkichi and Utako Sahara and faces V3 and Riderman while X And Amazon bring their kids to Kohtaro. Meanwhile, Crisis' forces start a human hunt. Kamen Riders 1 and 2 arrive to help Kohtaro face the Chaps' troops. Stronger, Skyrider, Super-1, and ZX soon follow. X And Amazon show up with the kids and inform Kotaro on what happened. V3 and Riderman are launched through the air, falling downtown, near the combat zone where Kamen Rider 2, alongside the other Riders, were helping Kohtaro. Jark challenges Kohtaro to a duel, and he accepts, rejecting the help of the other Riders. Black RX ends up victorious over Jark, destroying him while the other Riders watch in amazement. [The Riders' All Out Charge]

RX 47

The ten Riders bid farewell to Black RX.

Emperor Crisis calls Kohtaro for a personal meeting. However, Kamen Rider 1 tells Amazon to follow them, and all the other Riders go too. The emperor offers Kohtaro the chance of becoming the commander of Crisis' invasion forces, however, after Kohtaro refuses, General Dasmader appears alongside a group of Chaps and attacks Kohtaro. Amazon and the other Riders arrive and face the Chaps, but soon the entire cave is destroyed by the Crisis Fortress called by Dasmader. Black RX boards the fortress and destroys Dasmader, the Emperor, and even Crisis itself. Meanwhile, the other Riders survive the attack and meet RX after the battle is over. Following Kamen Rider 1's words, they all decide to part ways and fight evil around the world. [A Shining Tomorrow!]

All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker

"And as long as Riders exist, Dai-Shocker will never achieve its ambitions!"
―Kamen Rider 2[src]

Decade turned against Dai-Shocker and faced its troops alone. However, a large dimensional wall appeared in the battlefield, and from it, all Riders thought to be dead reappeared. Kamen Rider 2 arrived with his New Cyclone alongside Kamen Riders 1 and V3 in their New Cyclone and Hurricane bike. When A.R. Shadowmoon is thrown onto Dai-Shocker's castle, he participates in the All Riders Kick, using his standard Rider Kick alongside the other Riders to destroy Shadowmoon and the Shocker castle. Afterward, Dai-Shocker's final weapon, Kingdark, appeared from the rubles of the castle, and Decade merged with the Kamen Rider J summoned by Diend to face it. To help Decade, Kamen Rider 2, alongside the other Riders, turned into giant Kamen Ride cards to power up the giant Decade's final attack, destroying Kingdark. After the battle was over, Kamen Rider 2 silently gave a goodbye to Decade alongside Kamen Riders 1 and V3 and left through a dimensional wall with all the other Riders.

Shin Kamen Rider Spirits

The first volume of the revived Kamen Rider Spirits Manga gives readers a more detailed origin story of Hayato and how he became Kamen Rider 2.

After witnessing Kamen Rider 1's battle with Bat Man from afar while on a rooftop, Hayato began investigating Kamen Rider and Shocker's activities. He then observed Takeshi Hongo from a distance and took photographs of him from 800 meters away, which Takeshi detects thanks to his super hearing. He then was followed by Takeshi on his motorbike and the young photojournalist said he simply wants the truth and has learned about Shocker. Takeshi was silent about the issue and after leaping over an oncoming truck, told Hayato to stay away from Shocker if he valued his life. Hayato introduced himself to Takeshi and told him he would still pursue the truth regardless.

Hayato interviews victims and relatives of Shocker victims, who try to convince Hayato of their story and give details on Shocker. As he gets angry about all the pain the organization has caused, he then gets a call from Ruriko Midorikawa who wishes to speak with him. He learns her father's murderer was not who she thought it was and wants Hayato to drop the investigation. Hayato asks her if she knows the Kamen Rider and correctly deduces that he is Takeshi Hongo, which causes her to slap him after his teasing and prodding.

The manga then showcases an alternate version of Episode 13, with Hayato witnessing Takeshi become Kamen Rider while observing the FBI trying to investigate Shocker. While Kamen Rider is pre-occupied with the Revived Monster Army, the agents on the stakeout are ambushed by more of the monsters. Most of them are killed, but Hayato rushes in to save the last two, beating down the monsters with his bare hands. Dr. Shinigami observes these events and decides Hayato would be the perfect candidate for "The Next" project, which aimed to create a cyborg that could kill Takeshi Hongo. With Hayato proving himself a capable fighter even as a human, Death then orders the monsters to capture Hayato, who despite his injuries manages to fend them off long enough for the other FBI agents to escape before being taken.

When the agents bring a blueprint of a Shocker base in Yumesima Landfill to Ruriko, Kamen Rider investigates with Kazuya Taki and finds Hayato converted into a cyborg. He saves him, but Hayato is unable to control his super-strength and accidentally kills several Shocker combatmen who try to restrain him. Hayato at first doesn't accept what he is, horrified of his fate. But after some help from Ruriko to realize his enduring humanity and not fear his new strength to get it under control, he then comes to the aid of Kamen Rider when Shocker sends the Shocker Riders to destroy him, christening himself as Kamen Rider 2. While looking around the base, Ruriko finds a fleet of motorcycles and steals one for Hayato to ride. After a long and brutal fight, Hayato destroys the last Shocker Rider with his first true Rider Punch. Hayato then collapses from his injuries and Takeshi repairs his body, lamenting that maybe he should not have saved him as now he has led another down the hellish path he walks. Takeshi thinks that his humanity made him desire a friend to quell his loneliness, and as if a twisted answer to his desire, another individual has become like him. However, Hayato accepts what he is and wants to fight alongside him. The volume ends by stating that despite Takeshi's lament, nine heroes now walk the same path as Takeshi.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Artificially Enhanced Physiology: From Shocker's modifications, Ichimonji has superhuman abilities augmented far beyond the most gifted athletes, capable of threatening demonic monsters, interdimensional beings, and cosmic entities.
  • Hyper Strength: In human form alone, Ichimonji can destroy steel objects, jump down from tall buildings, and fight the Great Leader's lieutenants.
  • Hyper Durability: Hayato has withstood oxygen deprivation, absolute zero, a nuclear bomb, and an explosion which sent him into outer space.
  • Mind Link: From their similar cyborg designs, Hayato is able to telepathically link with Hongo and/or Kazami; said link powerful enough to undo Shocker's brainwashing.
  • Instant Healing: Through receiving a strong gust of wind, Hayato may recover from any physical injuries.

Abilities

  • Master Combatman: Since before Shocker's modification, Hayato was trained in judo and karate, being a master at both. As Kamen Rider 2, Hayato is only slightly outdone by Takeshi in skill[4].
  • Bike Racer: Hayato is a capable motorcyclist, able to defeat Shocker Rider 1 in a drag race. However, among the Tachibana Racing Club, Hayato is vastly inferior to Takeshi and Kazuya, deemed by Tobee as an "amateur" in technique.
  • Photography: His unique policies aside, Hayato is a skilled photographer, being a professional in the trade. Humorously, both Hajime Aikawa/Kamen Rider Chalice and Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade have praised Hayato as fellow cameramen, asking for tips to improve their photography.[5]

Originally created to best and kill the traitor Takeshi Hongo, the Kamen Rider, Hayato was modified in another Kamen Rider, to be capable of transforming via stylish hand positions to absorb wind power as opposed to Takeshi's need for a outside source of wind power to charge him, becoming a more versatile fighter as a result. However, Hayato was rescued by Takeshi before being brainwashed, and fights against Shocker during Takeshi's absence. Like Takeshi, Hayato seems to require no food or water whatsoever.

To distinguish from Kamen Rider 1, who also was solely known as "Kamen Rider" before 2, Hayato Ichimonji's Kamen Rider form is referred as Kamen Rider 2 (仮面ライダー2号, Kamen Raidā Ni-Gō). Also, to distinguish from his later upgrades, this form is usually referred to as Kamen Rider 2 (Old 2) (仮面ライダー2号(旧2号), Kamen Raidā Ni-Gō (Kyū-Ni-Gō)).

Retaining his great strength from the original stage, Hayato now maintains the title of "Powerful 2" (力の2号, Chikara no Nigō) (Episode 72 onwards), an aspect later passed to Kamen Rider V3, with his "power and skill" (力と技, Chikara to Waza).

Hayato used to be the monster Shocker Rider No.12 (ショッカーライダーNo.12ナンバー・トゥエルブ, Shokkā Raidā Nanbā Tuerubu).

It is his original form, as he debuted in the original manga, as this was the form Hayato maintained before being brutally kicked by Takeshi in the head, resulting in a return of Hayato's memories.

Ironically, he and the other Shocker Riders in this manga were made in similar designs and appearances, identical to that of Kamen Rider 2.

This form is exclusive to the manga and S.I.C. Hero Saga Kamen Rider Edition: Missing Link.

Portrayal

Hayato Ichimonji is portrayed by Takeshi Sasaki (佐々木 剛, Sasaki Takeshi), who was brought onto the show following Fujioka's injury and departure from the show. After Fujioka recovered and the show becoming a moderate success, the story began to write in Takeshi's return and the two appeared as the Double Riders in time for several finale episodes. After the conclusion of the original series, Sasaki reprised his role in Kamen Rider V3, Five Riders vs. Kingdark, Kamen Rider Stronger and Kamen Rider (Skyrider). However, Sasaki had suffered a personal crisis in the 1980s, leaving him no longer able to reprise his role and his character being voiced by replacements.

Recognition

Kamen Rider 2 is featured as #28 in the 1986 archive compilation video Toei 100 Great Heroes Super FightIcon-crosswiki.

Helmet

Kamen Rider 2's helmet has received a multitude of changes throughout the franchise:

Notes

  • The character of Kamen Rider 2 was created when Hiroshi Fujioka suffered a motorcycle accident when doing his own stunts as Kamen Rider. With Fujioka unable to play his role, the show producers chose to create another Kamen Rider, with a different stunt actor for action scenes.
  • Contrary to popular belief, Kamen Rider 2 is the first Rider to transform without any external sources. Kamen Rider 1 originally transformed by using his Cyclone bike, until around the events of Kamen Rider vs. Shocker.
  • In the Malaysian English dub, both Kamen Rider 2 and Kamen Rider 1 are called "Black Mask Rider".
