 This article is about a series entry (the 39th) in the Kamen Rider Series.
|
- For the series' main character, Gavv, see Shoma.
Kamen Rider Gavv (仮面ライダーガヴ, Kamen Raidā Gavu) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in Toei Company's Kamen Rider Series. It is the sixth series to debut in the Reiwa Era and the thirty-ninth overall. The series premiered on September 1, 2024, joining Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger
in the Super Hero Time lineup after the finale of Kamen Rider Gotchard. After Boonboomger concluded, Gavv was joined in the Super Hero Time line-up by No.1 Sentai Gozyuger on February 16, 2025.
The series' catchphrase is "Be it snacks or evil, I'll eat it up!!" (お菓子も悪も、俺が食べつくす!!, Okashi mo aku mo, ore ga tabe tsukusu!!).
Production[]
Toei Company confirmed and filed the trademark for Gavv on May 10, 2024.[1]
Casting[]
On July 26, 2024, Hidekazu Chinen was announced to be joining the cast as the series' protagonist ahead of his debut appearance in Kamen Rider Gotchard: The Future Daybreak. On August 11, 2024, several actors including Yusuke Hino, Nozomi Miyabe, Takashi Tsukamoto, Machi Chitose, Ryo Takizawa, Honoka Kawasaki, and Ruito Koga were announced to have joined the cast.
Filming[]
Filming began as early as March 2024,[2][3] which is about three months earlier than usual. This was done to allow Chinese distribution companies to review and censor episodes in time for a simulcast in China to reduce piracy.[4]
Story[]
The looming threat of monsters. Granutes, monsters from another world. Humans have no idea they are secretly coming to their world. Humans have no idea their kind are being hunted.
One young man steps up to protect humanity. Shoma is a young man who loves to eat. By eating treats, he can create beings known as the Gochizo that become his companions and his main source of power as Kamen Rider Gavv. The story of Shoma, who fights to protect people's happiness from the Granutes, begins now!
