Notes[]

Takamasa Suga is the first Kamen Rider actor to portray multiple Kamen Riders with distinct identities. Several actors after him would go on to portray multiple Kamen Riders across different seasons.
Takamasa Suga once stated that he actually want to appear in a cameo role in the Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost (several cast members of Kamen Rider Agito had previously appeared in Kamen Rider Ryuki: Episode Final including the leading actor and Suga's predecessor Toshiki Kashu), but his request was turned down by the producer who answered by crossing his fingers.[Citation needed]
Takamasa Suga alongside other Kamen Rider actors alumni (Toshiki Kashu/Agito, Kenji Matsuda/Zanki, Hironari Amano/Garren, Ryoji Morimoto/Chalice, Masaya Kikawada/Kamen Rider #1, Ryosuke Miura/Ankh) can be seen performing a spoof of their respective Kamen Rider role in the drama "Keibuho Yabe Kenzo" season 2. Takamasa Suga as detective Yuuki Makoto (pun name of Ryuki) quoting a catchphrase of Kamen Rider Ryuki, "Those who don't fight won't survive!!" (戦わなければ、生き残れない!!, Tatakawanakereba, ikinokorenai!!) during police briefing, he also can be seen performing Ryuki's transformation pose in episode 5.
