Kyoichiro Kuroi (黒井 響一郎, Kuroi Kyoichirō) is Kamen Rider 3 (仮面ライダー3号, Kamen Raidā Sangō), making his first appearance in Super Hero Taisen GP
. He is the third Kamen Rider cyborg created by Shocker following the original Double Riders, Kamen Rider 1 and Kamen Rider 2, that came before him decades ago.
History
Kamen Riders 1, 2, and 3 perform a Rider Kick.
3 fights V3.
Drive,#3, & The Riders.
Not much known about Kamen Rider 3 in the main live-action universe. It is only known his existence was caused by a timeline alteration in 1973.
After the Double Riders defeated the Great Leader of Gel-Shocker, Kamen Rider 3 later appeared before the riders and defeated them, allowing Shocker to rise again and changing the course of history itself, with Kotaro Minami remaining as BLACK, and also resulting in many Riders being brainwashed, for example Kamen Rider Leangle who becomes the new leader of Shocker and imprisons Kamen Rider Blade. However, there are the minority of Riders who were not affected by the changing of history, such as Go Shijima, the Liner crews (notably from DenLiner and ZeroLiner), Over Lord powered Kouta Kazuraba, and Shiro Kazami, and are trying to resist the reign of Shocker. Because of this he is known as the "Rider who should never have existed".
Later, he assists the other Kamen Riders in their battle against Shocker to find out what caused the timeline alteration and why he exists.

Notes
Concept Art of Kamen Rider 3.
- Kamen Rider 3's suit colors are similar to that of the original Kamen Rider 1 suit, with differently colored eyes, muffler and belt.
- Kamen Rider 3 has a pair of broken shackles around his wrists and ankles with the Shocker logo carved on it, signifying his origin.
- An earlier version of Kamen Rider 3 appeared in one of Shotaro Ishinomori's mangas, Kamen Rider 3 vs. General Black. However, this 3 is not Kyoichiro, but rather Kazuya Taki.
- A possible foreshadowing of Kamen Rider 3 appeared in Ressha Sentai ToQger Vs. Kamen Rider Gaim Spring Vacation Combining Special
, the prologue TV special for the previous Taisen movie. When the first three Showa Riders (#1, #2, and V3) make their appearance to help the ToQgers, they perform a roll call. Mio (ToQ 3gou) questions why V3 isn't just called Kamen Rider #3. - Currently, Kamen Rider 3 is the only Rider who's labeled as a Showa, Heisei, and Neo-Heisei Rider, at the same time.
- Interestingly, Kamen Rider 3`s scarf color more closely resembles the first Shocker Rider`s scarf instead of Kamen Riders 1, 2 and V3`s scarfs.
- His design is similar to the Kamen Rider designs in the reboot films.
- His transformation action is combined 1, 2 and V3's.
