Behind the Scenes[]

Suit actors[]

Having several users, Kamen Rider TheBee had two suit actors, Makoto Ito (伊藤慎, Itō Makoto) and Yoshifumi Oshikawa (押川善文, Oshikawa Yoshifumi).

Notes[]

TheBee is based on either a bee or a wasp. His name is TheBee, but his Zecter calls "CHANGE WASP" upon Cast Off. A bee is a subtype of wasp, but in English the name "wasp" is rarely used for bees and other subtypes that have their own names.
In Kamen Rider Decade, when ThBee accesses its Rider form from Masked form, the Zecter does not announce "CHANGE WASP".
The TheBee Zecter has the most amount of identified users of any Zecter in the entire Kamen Rider franchise. Within Kamen Rider Kabuto, it was utilized by So Yaguruma, Arata Kagami, Shun Kageyama, and once against its will (Masato Mishima). In Kamen Rider Decade, an alternate version of the TheBee Zecter was used by Soh Otogiri (secretly the Phylloxera Worm) as its primary user, bring its combined total to five users.
TheBee's chest has the ZECT symbol, and the only Rider in Kabuto to have it.
