Tachibana Racing Team[]
The Tachibana Racing Team is a racing team affiliated with and sponsored by the Tachibana Racing Club. It regularly participates in formula racing tournaments, while receiving support from organizations such as BOARD. Kyoichiro Kuroi, who was Kamen Rider 3 in an alternate timeline, is currently a member of the racing team.
Notes[]
- While the insignia for this club addressed the Double Riders and it's members, however, Shocker/Gel Shocker somehow also exploited the logo for their own as shown in Shocker Rider No.1's Fake New Cyclone (particularly for infiltration), Kamen Rider 3's TriCyclone and Kamen Rider 4's Sky Cyclone.
- However, at the end of the film Super Hero Taisen GP, car racer Kyoichiro Kuroi, whom was the Kamen Rider 3 in the altered timeline, had the Tachibana Racing Club as one of his sponsors, with said emblem visible on his racing suit.
- In Kamen Rider Spirits, when Kazuya Taki visits Tobee for the first time in years, Tobee is wearing a jacket with the Club's insigina on it.
- A Zippo Lighter made for the 30th anniversary of the original series has the Racing club in English as the "Tachibana Racing Team".
- The insignia can be seen in the opening theme sequence of Kamen Rider Revice.
