Takeshi Hongo (本郷猛, Hongō Takeshi) is the main protagonist of Kamen Rider. He is a young student who was kidnapped by Shocker and turned into a Cyborg (改造人間, Kaizō-Ningen, "Remodeled Human"), later escaping and deciding to use his powers for good as the Kamen Rider (仮面ライダー, Kamen Raidā, "Masked Rider"). Though he temporarily left Japan in the hands of his successor Hayato Ichimonji, he returned and retroactively bore the name Kamen Rider 1 (仮面ライダー1号, Kamen Raidā Ichi-Gō, "Masked Rider 1", "Masked Rider #1", "Kamen Rider #1", or "Kamen Rider 1-go")^[3].

History

Battle against Shocker

Born on August 15, 1948, Takeshi Hongo is a student at Johnan University, majoring in biochemistry. In his free time, Hongo trained to become a professional motorcycle racer, coached by bike-trainer Tobee Tachibana.

During practice with Tachibana, he is attacked and captured by Shocker, who were attracted to Hongo's high IQ and amazing physical prowess. Within a week, Shocker converted him into a cybernetically enhanced soldier, done while Hongo was unconscious.

Just before Hongo was brainwashed into serving Shocker, his associate Dr. Hiroshi Midorikawa intervened, the two narrowly escaping. As a result, Shocker sends the Man Spider monster after them.

KamenRiderFirstHenshin — Kamen Rider 1's first transformation

While hiding, Doctor Midorikawa explains the situation to Hongo, much to his shock. Deciding to use his newfound powers for good, Hongo's spirit as a Kamen Rider is born. Immediately afterwards, Man Spider catches up with them and kills Doctor Midorikawa. In another stroke of misfortune, Dr. Midorikawa's daughter, Ruriko witnessed his death, causing her to misunderstand the situation.

Knocking out Ruriko, Man Spider abducts her to use as bait for Hongo. Hongo transforms, calling himself "Kamen Rider" while riding a customized bike made by the Tachibana Racing Club, the Cyclone. He catches up with Man Spider, defeating him and his minions. With Man Spider defeated and Ruriko saved, Hongo feels a moment of relief. Knowing that Shocker will not be easily defeated though, he braces himself for the long battle to come. ^{[The Eerie Man Spider]}

Shortly afterward, another Shocker member, Bat Man, goes after Hongo. He implants a virus that transforms his victims into vampire-like creatures under his control. Ruriko is involved in the battle again, with the virus implanted in her blood, and, before she loses consciousness, Bat Man reveals to her that her father was killed for betraying Shocker. Hongo defeats Bat Man and cures his victims. Tobee Tachibana, from the Tachibana Racing Club, learns about what happened to Hongo and his battle against Shocker during these events and decides to support him. Meanwhile, Ruriko sees that Hongo wasn't the one who killed her father, and in fact, was fighting against the ones responsible for his death. However, she doesn't learn about his identity as Kamen Rider. ^{[The Terrifying Bat Man]}

Hongo and Tachibana together soon study the limits of Hongo's new body. Hongo tries to keep Ruriko away from the battle, hiding the modifications done to him and his identity as the Kamen Rider, in hopes of keeping her away from danger. He soon stumbles on an odd case about an old man, supposedly being taken for psychiatric treatment, while asking for help and mentioning Shocker. Suspicious of those events, Hongo soon goes in pursuit, rescuing the man. He was Mr.Ito, who had escaped from a Shocker base but was immediately pursued in an attempt to stop Shocker's existence from being revealed to the world. Tachibana asked for Ruriko's help to protect Mr. Ito, alongside Goro Hayase, Hongo's old friend, and rival in racing. However, Shocker troops soon surround them, and a strange scorpion kills Mr. Ito. Going in pursuit of the troops, Hongo and Goro eventually get to a Shocker base, where Goro reveals that he voluntarily joined Shocker and became a cyborg, Scorpion Man, in order to get a chance to best Hongo. Hongo tries to reason with Goro, who refuses to back down and is forced to fight against and eventually kill him. ^{[The Monster Scorpion Man]}

Hongo goes on to fight against many of Shocker's creations, stopping their various plans. Hongo also often spends his free time and coordinates his battle against Shocker with Tachibana in the "Snack Amigo" café, which is also frequented by Ruriko. Eventually, studying the various monsters defeated by Hongo, and combining their strongest traits, Shocker creates Gebacondor. However, to awaken their superior creation, they need to the blood of young women, and, to obtain that, they start killing women who are about to marry in a certain chapel. Meanwhile, Kazuya Taki, winner of the 1970's "All-Japan Championship" racing competition, another great rival of Hongo, sends a letter to the Snack Amigo announcing his upcoming marriage, before the next tournament. Hongo had learned about the assassinations and was investigating them, and so he doesn't go to his friend's marriage. After the marriage of Kazuya and Yoko Taki, they're attacked by Shocker troops led by Gebacondor. Kazuya demonstrates an incredible fighting prowess against Shocker's troops, but Yoko is about to be taken until Hongo arrives and fights as Kamen Rider to stop them. Kazuya rescues Yoko, but the Kamen Rider's attacks have little effect on Gebacondor, which ends up hitting Hongo with an attack that buries him underground. Gebacondor leaves, believing that he had killed the Rider. Gebacondor continues its attacks, this time not limited to the chapel. Tobee Tachibana prepares a plan involving a fake marriage to attract Shocker's attention, and Kazuya decides to help. When the Gebacondor reappears, so does Hongo, who recovered from his earlier defeat. However, he still couldn't match the new Shocker creation physically. Following Tachibana's words, however, he uses the Cyclone at max speed to run into Gebacondor, destroying it. ^{[The Blood-Sucking Monster Gebacondor]}

Shocker revives the 11 monsters killed by the Kamen Rider, starting a large operation to invade the Tokyo Atomic Energy Research Laboratory. However, Bat Man and Scorpion Man fail to break through the powerful electromagnetic wave barrier surrounding it. The Weapons Research Division, however, soon presents a Barrier Wrecking Ball. Shocker captures, modifies and brainwashed the arrogant Soccer Player, Ken Nomoto, creating the Tokageron, a powerful lizard monster. Kazuya returns to the Snack Amigo, wanting to contact Hongo, however, he yet again was focused on his battle against Shocker, already working to stop their newest operation. Ruriko and Kazuya also had their own suspicious and investigate on their own, following a suspicious car to a Shocker base. Ken Nomoto, now a brainwashed Shocker agent, convinces Kazuya to forget the investigation. However, he was preparing a surprise attack against them, causing a rock slide that wounds Kazuya. The Kamen Rider appears to face him, but he's also defeated. Hongo trains with Tachibana to become stronger, and the result is the creation of a more powerful Rider Kick, the Denko Rider Kick.

In spite of being wounded, Kazuya quickly goes back to his Shocker investigation. Tachibana finds an FBI badge left by Kazuya in the hospital, discovering his reason for involving himself in the battle against Shocker. Kazuya invades a secret base of Shocker, but the Shocker Leader welcomes him through audio-only communication, revealing that they also already knew his identity. He's surrounded by Shocker Combatmen but is saved by the Kamen Rider. Hongo returns to the Tokyo Atomic Energy Research Laboratory, where he faces all 12 cyborgs at once. Kamen Rider steals and uses the Barrier Destruction Bomb that was to be used to destroy the lab's barrier to destroy the monster army itself. ^{[Tokageron and the Large Monster Army]}

International Battle

In spite of their international activities being mostly successful, Shocker's plans weren't progressing in Japan. After the previous attempts at killing Hongo, they decide to create a second Kamen Rider, superior to the original. However, Hongo uncovers their plan and rescues the subject before he's brainwashed. He was Hayato Ichimonji, a freelance cameraman, who decides to help in Hongo's battle against Shocker. Hongo leaves Japan in Hayato's hands and travels overseas to fight against Shocker around the world. Ruriko Midorikawa also leaves with him, although eventually, they part ways.

Through accepting himself and various battles that strengthened him, Hongo gained a new form known as Sakurajima 1 which allowed him to fight more evenly against some of Shockers' newer soldiers eventually leading him to Dr. Shinigami, commander of Shocker's Swiss branch. He receives help from Emi, a martial artist who also had skills in decrypting Shocker transmissions, and Mika, a fortuneteller also able to use cards in combat. Shocker discovers about their operations and attempts to kill them, but they're saved by Hongo, who protects them as Kamen Rider. Hongo faces the powerful Shocker cyborg, Snowman, but can't best him in combat. Emi discovers about a large Shocker operation to bring chaos in Japan through an artificial eruption of the Mount Kyushu volcano, with the participation of Dr. Shinigami himself. Hongo tells them to travel there and contact Hayato. Hongo also follows them to Japan and soon joins Hayato. The two Riders, fighting together, destroy Snowman and move to stop Shocker's operation. ^{[Deathmatch! The Monster Snowman vs. The Two Riders]}

Shocker starts kidnapping many people in the area of Sakurajima to work in their operation, including the members of the Tachibana Racing Club. After finding a young boy whose mother was taken from him, Hongo leaves him under Hayato's protection while he goes on to face Shocker alone. Armadillong and Mogurang, two Shocker cyborgs previously defeated by Hayato, are rebuilt and face Hongo, who manages to stop them, however, he soon has to face Goaster, Shocker's newest creation. Heat resistant and with an enormous strength it defeats Hongo, who is captured by Shocker. Intending to proceed with their original plans for Hongo, Dr. Shinigami brainwashes him into becoming a loyal soldier of Shocker and sends him to face the second Kamen Rider, with the plan to have one Kamen Rider kill the other and the remaining survivor, in a weakened state, be killed by Shocker. Hongo seemingly emerges victorious with Hayato dying. With his mission done, Goaster appears to kill Hongo, only to see Hayato getting up just fine. Their minds are linked and can communicate no matter the distance, as a result, the brainwashing had been undone and Hayato had pretended to die. Hongo easily destroys Armadillong and, together, the Double Riders kill Goaster, and free the people enslaved by Shocker. The Double Riders also go after Dr. Shinigami, but he escapes. Hongo leaves Emi and Mika in Japan, going back to Europe to continue fighting by himself. However, Dr. Shinigami stays leading Shocker's operations in Japan. ^{[The Magma Monster Goaster, Great Decisive Battle at Sakurajima]}

Sometime later, Hongo recovered Kenzo Nakayama who had been left to die by Shocker Combatmen after discovering a diamond mine. Kenzo eventually sold the mine to get back to Japan where he would use the fortune to make a children's home for all the orphans of Japan, ruining the ambitions of Shocker who intended to acquire the wealth for their own use. It was thanks to an antidote provided by Hongo beforehand that Hayato was able to save the life of Kazuya Taki who had been struck by Shocker's African poison dart. Hongo fought alongside Hayato and Kazuya against the Shocker force led by Isoguinchack. After defeating the cyborg monster with his fellow Rider, Hongo left Japan once more for a new mission in Europe. ^{[The Man-Eating Monster Isoguinchack]}

Not long after, in Europe, a Unicorn fossil is discovered but mysteriously disappears. It's taken by Shocker to be used in the creation of their new monster, Unicornos. Hongo sends a letter to Hayato and soon follows to help him. While Hayato protected people and investigated Shocker, Hongo infiltrated their base of operations and faced Unicornos and Dr. Shinigami. Dr. Shinigami escapes, but the two Riders fight together destroy Unicornos. ^{[The Rock Monster Unicornos vs. Double Rider Kick]}

Soon afterward, Dr. Shinigami and Guilgaras start an operation involving the Deadman Gas, which drives people mad and forces them to kill each other. Hayato attempts to stop them, but he's defeated by Shocker's troops with the help of Guilgaras' Deadman Gas, which has a paralyzing effect on cyborgs. Hongo appears to face Guilgaras, who recognizes his fame as stopping many Shocker operations in Europe. Guilgaras seemingly paralyzes him too, but Hongo had intentionally let himself be defeated to infiltrate Shocker's base, using an antidote he brought from Europe to recover. After using the Deadman Gas to wreak havoc in the base, Hongo confronts Dr. Shinigami, but both Guilgaras escapes. He is, however, able to warn Hayato about Guilgaras' whereabouts. Hayato joins in the battle against Guilgaras, while Dr. Shinigami escapes from Hongo, who then goes to help Hayato. The Double Riders destroy Guilgaras with a Double Rider Kick. After the battle is over, Hayato decides to leave Japan in Hongo's hands, leaving to go after Dr. Shinigami and fight against Shocker abroad, while Hongo stays in Japan. Hayato also gives Hongo his camera to keep until their battle is finished. ^{[My Name is Monstrous Bird Guilgaras!]}

Return to Japan

Kamen Rider 1 (transfor) — One of Hongo's signature outfits after his return to the Tachibana Racing Club

Hongo is captured once again by Shocker, who proceed to enhance his body even further than originally and brainwash him into a loyal servant. However, by using self-hypnosis, Hongo avoids the brainwashing and returns as a more powerful Kamen Rider. This is the origin of the original Rider's famous design with silver gloves and boots that would go on to appear in all of his appearances starting from this point. ^[4]

While training for a racing competition, Hongo is attacked by Shocker troops led by Jaguarman. Their battle is observed by Jigoku Taishi, the new commander that takes over Shocker's activities in Japan. Using Jaguarman's powers, Shocker controls animals to attack humans. Hongo and Kazuya investigate the reports about animals attacking humans and soon run into Shocker troops, and are welcomed by Jigoku Taishi through a hologram. Hell introduces himself and reveals that Hongo's companions of the Tachibana Racing Club have been kidnapped. Hongo exchanges their freedom with his and is crucified and about to be executed when Kazuya returns and rescues him. Hongo transforms into the new Kamen Rider 1 and easily destroys Jaguarman with a new air grappling technique, the Rider Head Crusher. ^{[The Monster Jaguarman, Decisive Deadly Autobike Battle]}

After Jigoku Taishi's operations fail several times against Hongo, Dr. Shinigami returns from America to cooperate with Jigoku Taishi in Japan. Dr. Shinigami brings with him a new cyborg made in the USA, Namazuguiller, based on an electric catfish, able to release powerful electric shocks and take over victims with them. Jigoku Taishi captures Goro Ishikura, a young member of the Tachibana Racing Club. Hongo and Kazuya, while investigating Shocker's activities, run into Namazuguiller and Hongo briefly faces the new cyborg, which soon escapes. Goro Ishikura is sent back to the Racing Club members, but brainwashed and releasing electric shocks against them. However, after the charge runs out, he goes back to normal. Afterward, Kazuya becomes his next target and attacks Hongo, but Hongo knocks him out and then destroys Namazuguiller, alongside the Shocker base in the region, bringing everyone back to normal. ^{[The Monster Namazuguiller's Electric Hell]}

Dr. Shinigami soon brings a monster from Shocker's African branch, Saigang. Isao Katsumaru, a fellow racer friends with Hongo, is captured and brainwashed by Death. During a racing competition, Hongo and Kazuya are attacked, but Hongo manages to fight away Isao and the Shocker troops. Isao is left dizzy afterward and uses the sabotaged fuel that was meant to be used for Hongo's bike. Isao's bike blows up, but he survives and recovers his senses. Hongo catches up with him, defeats the Shocker troops, and destroys Saigang. Hongo and Kazuya quickly get back into the race and manage to win. ^{[The Monster Saigang, Deadly Auto Race]}

Kamikirikid, a longhorn beetle monster, attacks people who approach the Shocker graveyard, where dead monsters are taken after being killed. They sacrifice Kato, a captured human, in front of a skull adorned cross from where the Shocker Leader communicated with his followers. Afterward, several monsters were brought back to life: Jaguarman, Saigang, Beaded Lizard Man, Harinezras and Zanjioh. Led by Kamikirikid, they start an operation to bring vengeance upon the first Kamen Rider and his friends, aiming to sacrifice them for an even greater ritual. Kato miraculously appears alive in the Tachibana Racing Club, asking for help, but it's just a disguise taken by Kamikirikid, who leads Hongo away from his friends while the other monsters capture them. However, Hongo returns and defeats all monsters together by himself, destroying the Shocker Graveyard. ^{[The Shocker Graveyard, The Revived Monsters]}

A couple sees a meteorite falling and heads to see it from up close. They find a red glowing stone, but, when Katsuo approaches it, the rock explodes and covers him in sparks, killing him. It was all just the beginning of an operation led by Dr. Shinigami to destroy all of Japan with meteorites. Meanwhile, Hongo tests a remodeled New Cyclone. During his training, Hongo's ambushed by Shocker troops led by a squid cyborg, Ika Devil. His Rider Kick fails against it, and he's severely wounded. Shortly afterward, Tachibana is captured by Dr. Shinigami, who wants him to work as a trainer for Shocker's cyborgs. Meanwhile, Hongo trains with Kazuya's help to surpass the new enemy. Hongo faces Death, who reveals his true form as Ika Devil. Kamen Rider faces Ika Devil, and, during the battle, Tachibana, who manages to escape, tells Hongo that Ika Devil's weakness was his head. Ika Devil reveals that soon the meteorites will fall and Japan will be destroyed. Kamen Rider uses the Rider Kirimomi Shoot, sending him crashing onto a mountain. After Ika Devil is defeated and explodes, the meteorites fall out of control around him, destroying one of Shocker's bases and stopping their own operation. ^{[Dr. Shinigami, The Terrifying Truth Form?]}

The Tachibana Racing Club travels to take a little summer vacation from their encounters with Shocker, but unknowingly step into another one of the organization's operations. Mosquiras was testing its poison that reduces people to bones, and Tachibana runs across him. It moves to silence him, but he's soon interrupted by a Kamen Rider with red gloves and boots. Mosquiras escapes, and the Rider is revealed to be an upgraded Hayato Ichimonji, who had followed Mosquiras back to Japan after fighting against Shocker in the Amazon. However, in spite of his efforts, the members of the Tachibana Racing Club are kidnapped and used as hostages by Jigoku Taishi. After the trouble comes up, Hongo and Kazuya soon join to rescue them. The two Riders together rescue the Tachibana Racing Club members and destroy Mosquiras with a Rider Double Kick. However, Jigoku Taishi immediately moves ahead with a new attack led by Siomaneking. ^{[The Blood-Sucking Mosquiras vs. The Two Riders]}

Jigoku Taishi planned to build a large underwater base for Shocker, and, for that project, Siomaneking captured Professor Sakai, who was forced to work for Shocker. He refused though, and so Siomaneking proceeded to attempt to hold his wife and child as hostages in order to force him to work for Shocker. Kazuya, and soon, Hongo get in Siomaneking's way, protecting the professor's family. The battle between Hongo and Siomaneking ends in a stalemate, but soon Shocker launches a second attack to capture Sakai's family. Hongo attempts to face them but is unable to take care of the Shocker Combatmen, Siomaneking and Jigoku Taishi all at once, even with Kazuya's help. However, Hayato soon arrives to help, taking on Siomaneking while Hongo takes care of the Shocker troops and Kazuya rescues the hostages. With a Rider Double Kick, Siomaneking is destroyed and Shocker's operation falls apart. Soon afterward, Hayato leaves Japan again to continue his fight abroad. ^{[Double Riders, Defeat!! Siomaneking ]}

Naoki and Mitsuru, two boys who had been following the adventures of the Tachibana Racing Club are gifted with Rider themed uniform and pendants with transmitters, becoming the first two members of Kamen Rider Kid Corps, prepared by Tachibana and the Racing Club. They also receive trained birds for communication. Shortly afterward, more children join them. The monster Silaquiras, following orders from Jigoku Taishi, starts an operation to brainwash children. Brainwashed children then bring more children to become Shocker followers. However, they soon run into Tatsuo Ito, a new Rider Corps member, who refuses to join them. He finds his father and asks for his help, but his father has been brainwashed too. He sends a bird to ask for help but isn't unable to write any message. However, Hongo, Kazuya, and the Tachibana Racing Club members, soon track down the location where trouble was brewing by analyzing who had received the bird. They soon face the people controlled by Silaquiras, including Tatsuo, and Silaquiras himself. The Kamen Rider has an advantage against it, but Kazuya is hurt in combat, and the monster uses the opportunity to retreat. Afterward, the Rider Corps spreads all over the city, looking for any signs of Shocker, until Naoki finds a suspicious car, calling for help. Kamen Rider thanks them and silently follows the car to their hideout. He then destroys their base and easily defeats Silaquiras. ^{[The Deadly Blood-Sucking Devil, Give It Your All!! Rider Kid Corps]}

Alongside the Kamen Rider Kid Corps, Hongo continues his battle against Shocker defeating several cyborgs. One night, in the Otake village, a child sees a plane being destroyed in the middle of its flight and decides to go near the area. He wanders into a graveyard, where Shocker Combatmen were messing with a grave. After they leave, the child approaches, only to see a strange Sea Urchin. Unidogma soon appears, telling him that he couldn't let him escape after seeing his form. The child escapes to his parents who just melt when he approaches them. In spite of being in a panic, the child still manages to escape. Jigoku Taishi was furious at his troops for allowing a mere child to slip from their hands. The child runs into Tachibana and tells him everything that he saw. However, when they go check his home, his parents are there, seemingly alive. After initially leaving the child behind, Tachibana signals to Hongo and Kazuya back in Tokyo that something was wrong, and returns for the child, rescuing him from Shocker. Hongo and Kazuya head there, but, in the way, run into a thick fog and a mysterious monster. Hongo tells Kazuya to go ahead and faces the new monster. He's impressed by the strength of the new Shocker cyborg but receives a puzzling answer from the monster, who tells him that the Shocker monster is Unidogma in the Otake village. The Kamen Rider is unable to do any damage to the monster and is punched to the ground before it disappears in a blink. After the interruption, Hongo soon manages to arrive and destroys Unidogma. The Shocker Leader tells Jigoku Taishi that he's responsible for all their failures, and shows him the mysterious monster, although he refuses to reveal its identity. Feeling pressured, Jigoku Taishi promises to win next time. ^{[The Terrifying Unidogma + Ghost Monsters]}

Garagaranda attacks people who live close to the ocean, but his attack is soon interrupted by the Kamen Rider. Confused by how Hongo could have learned about his plans, Hongo reveals that he received information from someone who betrayed Shocker. Garagaranda refuses to accept that and attacks, but he's defeated by the Kamen Rider with a powerful kick. Back in his command center, Jigoku Taishi is chained by his own soldiers, the Shocker Leader accuses him of betraying Shocker since only two people knew about Garagaranda's operation - Jigoku Taishi and Shocker's leader himself. In the Rider Corps control room, Tobee Tachibana receives a messager bird that wasn't one of the ones given to the Rider Corps members. In fact, it was a voice message from the Shocker Leader, talking about the execution of Jigoku Taishi, and inviting Hongo for it. Although they couldn't trust Shocker, Hongo chooses to take that chance while making some preventive measures of his own. He goes to the meeting place and is about to see Hell's execution when, with Kazuya's help, they rescue Jigoku Taishi. Hongo stays facing the Shocker troops, while Kazuya takes Jigoku Taishi. Hell wonders if Hongo would be fine staying behind, telling Taki about the existence of the mysterious monster. After Hongo defeats the Shocker Combatmen, the mysterious monster appears again and disappears flying into the sky after knocking down Kamen Rider 1.

Jigoku Taishi tells the Tachibana Racing Club about Ganikoumoru, the true name of the monster, and about how he had been fooled by Shocker's promises of world domination, and that's why he chose to help them stopping Garagaranda. He reveals that Garagaranda's next target was in the Japanese desert. Hongo decides to investigate while leaving Jigoku Taishi with Tachibana and the girls of the Racing Club. However, soon Jigoku Taishi reveals that he is Garagaranda, taking all of them as prisoners. When Taki and Hongo arrive in the desert, they see Jigoku Taishi with the Racing Club members as hostages, buried under the sand. Jigoku Taishi then reveals his full scheme to both of them. Kazuya rescues the club members, while the Kamen Rider faces Garagaranda. After receiving a Rider Kick, Jigoku Taishi returns to human form before exploding, screaming that the Shocker Army is eternal. However, the voice of the Shocker Leader soon echoes, telling the Rider that Shocker was finished, but an even more menacing organization soon would appear. Following the leader's speech, Jigoku Taishi's base in Japan self destructs. ^{[Jigoku Taishi!! The Terrifying True Form?]}

Gel Shocker

Shocker Combatmen around Japan are killed by Ganikoumoru. Meanwhile, Hongo and Kazuya are ambushed by new soldiers. Hongo can still keep up with them, but they easily dodge and counter Taki while also showing strange abilities, like disappearing and turning into paper sheets to fly. Soon, Ganikoumoru appears before them, announcing that the name of the new organization is Gel Shocker. Hongo watches it completely destroy the body of a dead Shocker Combatman. He then works with Taki and captures one of the new soldiers. The soldier tells them that their Japanese hideout is in the Sarushima island and that their leader is General Black. He also reveals that they all had to return before 3 o'clock, but he's immediately self-destructed remotely. Hongo and Kazuya investigate the island and find a completely immobile Tachibana lying down under a blanket. Ganikoumoru appears, and they're surrounded by Gel Shocker Combatmen who capture them. Afterward, Tachibana stands up, only to reveal that it was just a disguise by General Black, the leader of Gel Shocker's Japanese invasion, who had come from Africa. The Gel Shocker troops raise a flag for the beginning of their invasion, while General Black talks about how Shocker now also had Geldam's strength and with that they'll certainly conquer Earth. However, Kamen Rider reappears and faces Ganikoumoru once again. Taki goes after General Black, but he's stopped by the Gel Shocker Combatmen. Meanwhile, Kamen Rider and Ganikoumoru clash and seemingly explode together in the skies of Sarushima. ^{[Gel Shocker's Debut! The Last Day of Kamen Rider!!]}

Taki and all the Racing Club members mourn the Rider's loss. They soon receive a message from Gel Shocker, which turns out to be a time bomb. Kazuya gets rid of it, but it still hurts him. Sasori Tokagues proceeds with the execution of surviving Shocker scientists, but one of them, Shintaro Mine, escapes. Gel Shocker Combatmen immediately head towards his home, only to be surprised by Hongo, still alive. Hongo's survival is revealed to the Rider Corps communication room, but Tachibana, who wasn't with them, doesn't learn about it. Tachibana's attacked by Sasori Tokagues, who reveals that Hongo is alive, right before attempting to kill Tobee. However, the Kamen Rider arrives and rescues him. He faces the Gel Shocker troops and Sasori Tokagues, who is destroyed by the Rider Hanten Kick. ^{[Kamen Rider Dies Twice!!]}

The Kamen Rider goes on to face and stop many Gel Shocker cyborgs and operations in Japan, like Shocker before them. However, Gel Shocker's monsters were stronger and his battles harsher. Mukade Tiger, a centipede and tiger monster, brainwashed and kidnapped children around Japan. The Rider Corps headquarters receive a message addressed from a wasteland, and Hongo decides to investigate, alongside Taki. There, Centigeerpede shows that the Rider Corps children now are Gel Shocker Kid Corps. Hongo avoids hurting them and faces Mukade Tiger, but his Rider Kick is defeated by its Centipede Punch. When Kazuya returns to the base after the battle, he soon notices that Tachibana and everyone else had been brainwashed. Taki himself also is poisoned and can't do anything. Hongo is found and rescued by a Rider Corps member that hadn't been brainwashed alongside his sister, Yumi. However, Gel Shocker soon attacks them, and, using him as a hostage, forces Yumi to give Hongo's location. Mukade Tiger burns Hongo's hideout, which explodes, but the hot wind makes the Typhoon belt spin, transforming him and saving his life. Regretful for her actions, Yumi looks at the destroyed cabin in desolation, but Kamen Rider appears and tells her that her actions weren't wrong. Peace and justice aren't as important as human life. He promises that he'd save her brother and leaves to face Mukade Tiger again. The Kamen Rider invades the Terror School and takes on Mukade Tiger. The fight reaches the top of a dam, from where the Rider and Mukade Tiger fall, seemingly exploding together. General Black decides that it's a unique opportunity and calls forth other Gel Shocker members. A Kamen Rider with yellow gloves, boots, and scarf steps forward. Taki and the Rider Corps search for the original Kamen Rider near the explosion but find no traces left. ^{[Enroll in Gel Shocker Terror School!!]}

Haetori Bachi, a Venus flytrap/bee monster goes after two men, who he describes as human guinea pigs for Gel Shocker's cyborgs, before easily killing them with an acid spit. However, Hongo's voice challenges Haetori Bachi, who looks up to see the Kamen Rider with yellow boots and gloves. They start fighting, but soon General Black interrupts them, revealing that it was just a training session for the Shocker Rider. Their goal is to eliminate the Anti-Shocker Alliance before they can join with the Kamen Rider Kid Corps. Gel Shocker's computers detect that the Anti-Shocker Alliance has information regarding the Gel Shocker Leader's real identity, and move to destroy it. Tobee Tachibana is contacted by the Anti-Shocker Alliance and meets their leader, Seiichiro Kogure. Seiichiro tells Tobee about how they're a worldwide organization, and many members have personal grudges against Shocker, like how his son had been killed by them, while his assistant, who contacted Tobee, Chie Ishigami, had lost her mother. Their computer had obtained information about the identity of the Gel Shocker Leader and wanted to give it to the Kamen Rider. The Shocker Rider appears in the Rider Corps base, speaking with Hongo's voice, and assuring them that he was fine and would obtain the information. Taki goes with him, and, right after the disguised Shocker Rider receives the data in a suitcase, they're attacked by Gel Shocker Combatmen. Meanwhile, Chie Ishigami is attacked by Haetori Bachi, who tells her that he knew where to find her because they had given the information to the Kamen Rider, their ally. However, she's rescued in the last moment by Hongo, who was still alive. He transforms into Kamen Rider and rescues Ishigami, allowing Haetori Bachi to escape. The original Kamen Rider notices that there must be a Shocker Rider identical to him, and promises her that he'd stop it. Tachibana and Kazuya meet the Shocker Rider, who, mimicking Hongo's voice, refuses to give them the Anti-Shocker Alliance's data about the Gel Shocker Leader and attacks them both. However, soon the original Rider returns and steals the data. The Shocker Rider drops the voice disguise and fights against the original Kamen Rider. They're perfectly matched, and the Shocker Rider even has his own Cyclone. However, soon the Shocker Rider reveals his own tricks, like a blade built into his leg, that could be detached and wielded like a knife. Haetori Bachi reappears, and, fighting alongside the Shocker Rider, easily defeats the original one, who's left hanging on rocks to avoid falling into the sea. ^{[Atrocity! Fake Kamen Rider]}

The original Kamen Rider grabs onto Haetori Bachi's leg, falling and disappearing into the sea with it. The Shocker Rider celebrates the original Riders' death, proclaiming himself the only Kamen Rider now. The Shocker Rider attempts to destroy the data about the Gel Shocker Leader, but he's stopped by Ei Dokugar, a batoid/poisonous moth monster. He reveals there has been a change of plans, and Gel Shocker wants the information, while they should give a false device to the Anti-Shocker Alliance that would kill them all. Kazuya and Tachibana approach the battle's location and receive the false suitcase, while the Shocker Rider and Haetori Bachi act like they're fighting against each other. The Shocker Rider claims that the false Rider has been destroyed when a group of Gel Shocker Combatmen appears. He tells Tachibana and Kazuya to take the suitcase, while he'd stay behind and fight them off. The Gel Shocker Leader receives the Anti-Shocker Alliance data and tells General Black to analyze it to understand the scale of their organization. However, it turns out that they had obtained false data. The Gel Shocker Leader decides that the plan to destroy the Anti Shocker Alliance must be suspended and they should get the real tape first. The Shocker Rider, mimicking Hongo's voice, returns to the Anti-Shocker Alliance base, and warns them about the bomb in the device they had received. He tells them to leave the base and activates the bomb, although it does no damage to himself. Hayato Ichimonji arrives with the real data, but the Shocker Rider insists on getting it. Hayato wonders about that yellow muffler and soon he drops his guise and they fight. Ichimonji destroys the Shocker Cyclone, seemingly alongside the Shocker Rider and recovers the suitcase with the data. However, soon afterward, a Rider with a white scarf and Hongo's voice appears in the Rider Corps base. It was actually Shocker Rider No.2, alongside Ei Dokugar, who proceed to kidnap the children and women left in the base. Hongo returns and transformed into Kamen Rider, facing Ei Dokugar and Shocker Rider No. 2, but he's knocked out by the Shocker Rider and the hostages are taken away. Soon afterward, Hayato, Kazuya and Tachibana find a wounded Hongo. General Black contacts them, using the hostages to obtain the computer data in the hands of the Anti-Shocker Alliance. Seiichiro Kogure refuses to hand over the data to them, saying that they need to look at the bigger picture, but Chie Ishigami gives them the suitcase with the data device, asking them to carry on the revenge for her mother. Hongo recovers and goes alongside Hayato and Kazuya for the negotiations. They hand the suitcase to a helicopter via a rope ladder, but when Shocker refuses to give the hostages, Kazuya jumps and grabs on, climbing into the helicopter. Meanwhile, Shocker Riders Number 1 and Number 2 reappear, quickly followed by four others, Shocker Riders No.3, No.4, No.5 and No.6. Hongo and Hayato transform into Kamen Riders 1 and 2 and prepare for the battle. ^{[The 8 Kamen Riders]}

In addition to the Shocker Riders, more Combatmen appear, and the Shocker Riders show their own unique abilities, like a micro-missile barrage. While the fight goes on, Tachibana appears and rescues the hostages. Seiichiro Kogure returns and uses a gas weapon to allow the Riders to escape. They jump to the helicopter and immobilize Ei Dokugar, recovering the suitcase. Seiichiro decides to lock the data device into a safe to keep it away from Gel Shocker. Ei Dokugar is captured, but remains in complete silence, not giving any information. Meanwhile, Tachibana decides to train Hongo and Hayato to develop a new technique against the Shocker Riders. Namekuji Kinoko is sent as General Black's last trump card in the mission. He kills Kogure and possesses his body. At the same time, Ei Dokugar starts moving again, breaking from his prison and killing agents of the Anti-Shocker Alliance. Gel Shocker Combatmen appear and possess their bodies too. However, Hongo's presence stopped them from acting openly. The data finally is seemingly analyzed, revealing that Gel Shocker's leader's hideout is in Japan and gives its coordinates. Ei Dokugar appears and tries to stop the Kamen Rider Kid Corps and Anti-Shocker Alliance members from heading there, but Kamen Riders 1 and 2 together destroy it. They head into the Gel Shocker hideout, but it was a trap: it was all false information planted into the Anti-Shocker Alliance's computer to trap the two Kamen Riders and kill all of their enemies. Kogure reappears, holding Chie as a hostage, and reveals the real Kogure is dead, and he's actually Namekuji Kinoko. Kazuya rescues Chie and the Riders start their counterattack. The two Riders are surrounded by the Shocker Riders, and, although they can beat them individually, as a group the Shocker Riders still are stronger. However, they use the new technique learned through their training with Tobee Tachibana, the Rider Sharin - running in circles and jumping to create a destructive force that pushes the Shocker Riders against each other with enough force to make them explode. Afterward, with a Rider Double Kick, they quickly destroy Namekuji Kinoko. After the battle, Hayato leaves again to continue fighting abroad. ^{[The True Form of Gel Shocker Leader!!]}

Hongo and the Kamen Rider Kid Corps face a few more Gel Shocker cyborgs stopping their operations again and again. A couple are attacked by a Gel Shocker monster, Hilchameleon. The man attempts to hold the monster, while the girl escapes. She soon runs into boys from the Rider Corps, who report the Gel Shocker sighting. Meanwhile, using human life force absorbed by Hilchameleon, the Gel Shocker scientists were able to resurrect Ganikoumoru, and planned to bring even more Gel Shocker cyborgs back to life. Hongo and Kazuya find a Gel Shocker base close to the place reported by the Rider Corps and infiltrate it, disguising themselves as Gel Shocker Combatmen. Entering there, they find Ganikoumoru. Kamen Rider 1 beats it easily enough this time, but it wasn't the monster reported by the kids, which suggested that there was something else out there. Meanwhile, Hilchameleon studies Hongo's transformation with the aid of Dr. Dee and how to stop it. The Doctor deduces that during Hongo's transformation into Kamen Rider, he is left completely vulnerable and stopping the Typhoon at the right time would immobilize him. Meanwhile, prisoners attempt to escape from Gel Shocker's base but are both killed before escaping. Later that night, Hongo is attacked by Hilchameleon, who disappears after his surprise attack fails. However, he's followed by Kamen Rider 1, who fights against him briefly before it escapes. Right after the battle, a man who claims to have escaped from a Gel Shocker base meets Hongo. He tells the Rider Corps the location and takes Hongo and Kazuya there, but as soon as they leave the base, Tachibana and the other members are struck and left unconscious by Gel Shocker. Kazuya is attacked by their guide, while Hongo is caught in trap. Their guide was actually Hilchameleon himself, mimicking one of the dead prisoners. Hilchameleon uses all of the Rider Corps as hostages against Hongo, telling that their life will be used for monsters. Hongo attempts to transform, but his belt is stopped by a substance emitted on it. ^{[Takeshi Hongo, Cannot Transform!!]}

Kamen Rider 2 returns and defeats the Gel Shocker troops, rescuing the Rider Squad members and Hongo himself. They proceed to capture Hilchameleon and ask him about General Black's location, but he refuses to speak. General Black's voice through the speakers tells them to bring Hilchameleon to him and so the Double Riders follow their only lead, taking Hilchameleon to the arranged place, only to see themselves surrounded by revived Gel Shocker monsters. General Black's voice comes from Hilchameleon himself, who leads them to that trap and reveals itself to be General Black himself. However, to his surprise, the two Riders were already expecting that. Hongo and Hayato go after General Black, while Kazuya tells them that he'll handle the monsters, which escape in a truck. Hilchameleon can't keep up with the Riders and attempts to escape by using his invisibility. However, Kamen Riders 1 and 2 sense his presence and hit him with a double chop, which finishes off the Gel Shocker commander. Singing one last praise to Gel Shocker, he dies as the Double Riders comment on the gallantry in death of all the Shocker commanders. Taki catches up with the monsters, only to be captured. Using a digital voice mimicking Kazuya's, the Shocker Leader sends Kamen Riders 1 and 2 towards Gel Shocker's headquarters. They're surrounded by the Gel Shocker monster troops but manage to destroy all of them once again. Afterward, the Rider Corps members are used by the Shocker Leader as hostages, and the Riders run through a minefield to reach them. The Riders seemingly fall, only to surprise the Shocker Leader by appearing in his command room. The Shocker Leader was covered by a mantle, and Kamen Rider 2 grabs it, only to reveal a head full of snakes. Promising to send them to hell for destroying Gel Shocker, the Riders are hit by powerful waves of energy, but they manage to run through them and grab the Shocker Leader's head. They pull the snakes, only to reveal a pale featureless cyclops underneath. The Shocker Leader tells them that this is the end of Gel Shocker, and they'll all die together, before falling on the ground and exploding. Hayato notices the Shocker Leader's supposedly real form fallen on the ground and attempts to approach it, but when they're about to do that, other explosions get triggered around them. The entire underground headquarters, and even the lake above it, explode. Tachibana, Taki, Naoki, Mitsuru, Yuri, Yokko and Choko look on the explosions, wondering if the Riders are still alive, until they both appear safe riding in their motorcycles.

With Gel Shocker destroyed, Kazuya Taki's mission is complete, and he returns to the USA. He says his farewells to everyone and Hongo and the others watch his plane's departure. ^{[Gel Shocker Destroyed! The Leader's End!!]}

Kamen Rider V3

V3-al-takeshi — Hongo as seen in *Kamen Rider V3*.

Returning to Johnan University, Hongo acted as a mentor for Shiro Kazami, coaching him alongside Tachibana. One night, Kazami watches as a monster kills a construction worker. Immediately afterward, a car attempts to run over him, and after arriving home, when he attempts to drink a cup of coffee, only to accidentally drop it after a playful fright from his sister, Shiro watches as the coffee starts burning the floor. He takes the coffee's remains to be analyzed by Takeshi Hongo, who concludes that it's Tibetan poison. Later, Hongo talks with Tobee Tachibana about the possibility of some organization marking witnesses of their activities for death. Shortly afterward, Shiro, who was practicing in the Tachibana Racing Club, is hit by an explosion. Hongo goes to rescue him and soon is joined by Hayato, who is called by Tachibana to help. Hongo leaves Hayato to take care of Shiro, and then heads out to find the source of the explosion. He finds a macabre procession, where people covered in black robes are muttering the word "Destron". They leave flowers next to a cross, with "Grave of Takeshi Hongo" written there. Shiro is sent by Hayato in an ambulance, but when Hongo arrives, so does a second ambulance. Realizing the first one was fake, they go after Shiro, who just suffered another attempt against his life. Hongo then decides to keep a close eye on Shiro to protect him from any further threats. Later that day, Shiro tells the Racing Club Members about how he had saved the life of a woman, Junko Tama, and Hayato concludes that she likely was attacked because she saw something too, warning Shiro about his family as well. Hongo heads out there right after Shiro, arriving just after Hasami Jaguar killed his entire family and was about to finish off Shiro and Junko. Hongo transforms into Kamen Rider 1, revealing his identity to Shiro, who recognizes the Kamen Rider, and defeats the black-clad Destron soldiers, while Hasami Jaguar escapes. Kamen Rider 2 soon joins him and both mourn the loss of Shiro's family. They sadly see what their mistakes have cost and become determined to stop Destron's ambitions. Shiro then begs them to turn him into a Kamen Rider for vengeance, but the Double Riders tell him that revenge is not the right way, and that life as a cyborg is a burden in which one is human yet also inhuman, and it should only be carried by the two of them.

With Junko's help, Kamen Riders 1 and 2 locate Destron's base, easily defeating the soldiers protecting it. However, they are welcomed by the Great Leader of Gel Shocker's voice who turned out to be alive. The Great Leader claims to have created a new organization called Destron, the ultimate organization. Immediately afterward, Kamen Riders 1 and 2 are hit by a Cyborg Disruptor Ray, created especially to kill them. When they were about to fall, Shiro Kazami arrives, destroying the machine, but being mortally wounded by it. Hongo decides that there is only one way to save his life, and the two Riders work together to transform him into Kamen Rider V3, possessing both Kamen Rider 1's "skill" and Kamen Rider 2's "strength". However, the entire base is bombed and destroyed by another cyborg, the Kame Bazooka. Kamen Riders 1 and 2 emerge undamaged and face the Destron troops outside. Meanwhile, the main building of the Rider Squad starts sinking underground due to Kame Bazooka's attacks. Shiro Kazami emerges as Kamen Rider V3, taking on Kame Bazooka.^{[Rider No. 3: His Name is V3!]}

Kamen Riders 1 and 2 leave V3 to defend the Rider Squad's headquarters while they take on Kame Bazooka. Meanwhile, Hongo gives instructions to V3 while he battles through long-range communication. Shiro Kazami is told about the 26 secrets in his body, which are special abilities that give him various advantages. In the same way, when V3 learns that Kame Bazooka had an atomic bomb in his body that was about to be used to destroy Tokyo, he warns the Double Riders. The Double Riders quickly reach Kame Bazooka, but presumably, due to adding a portion of their powers to V3 (which may have temporarily weakened them), they were unable to stop him. Deciding to protect the city at all costs, they charge up their maximum energy together, releasing an energy blast that stuns Kame Bazooka for a moment. Then they grab him and jump with enormous strength, launching themselves towards the sea while holding onto the Destron cyborg. They keep holding onto it until the bomb explodes over the sea. V3 watches the explosion, screaming for Hongo and Hayato. The two Riders talk with V3 telepathically, telling V3 that they won't die, but, for now, everything will rest in his hands. ^{[Last Testament of the Double Riders]}

The Double Riders continue their battle in secret, taking on Destron's forces around the world. However, before leaving Japan, they rescue Dr. Okajima, a nuclear physicist, who had been forced to work for Destron. George Kamamoto, an Interpol agent, finds a vial made by the Double Riders with secret information about a weakness in V3's structure. The secret was supposedly held in a box left in Japan. Following the instructions, Shiro Kazami meets Dr. Okajima and his daughter, Tamami, who tell him about how Okajima had been saved by the Double Riders. V3 finds the box left behind by the Riders, containing instructions about his powers and their weakness. ^{[Secret Memento of the Double Riders]} ^{[Rider V3's Deadly Weakness!!]}

V3's battle in Japan takes him to Shikoku, where he receives a mysterious medallion at a hotel. When V3 was about to be defeated by the Guillotine Zaurus, he hears Hongo's and Hayato's voices transmitted to his mind through the Medallion, telling him to cross his arms and activate one of his 26 secrets, the Cell Strengthen System, allowing V3 to ignore Guillotine Zaurus's attack. V3 finally realizes that the Double Riders truly are alive. ^{[Operation: Destron Shikoku Conquest]} ^{[The Double Riders Live]}

In Shikoku, Nuclear physicist Tetsuo Okita discovers the rare element Satanium, which had the capacity to generate energy much higher than Uranium. Destron moves an entire army of cyborgs to capture him and obtain the element. Tetsu Okita dies, but Shiro Kazami moves to protect the scientist's family. At the time, Kamen Riders 1 and 2 were fighting in Australia, but returned to Japan upon learning about Destron's plans. Kamen Riders 1 and 2 join with V3 and the three Riders face Destron's cyborg troops. Kamen Rider 1 takes on Missile Yamori and Burner Koumori, while Kamen Rider 2 faces Spray Nezumi and Lens Ari, and, after defeating them, punches Pickel Shark off a cliff, jumping from it to Rider Kick Gama Boiler. Poison Needle Spider attempts to escape from V3, just to run into Kamen Rider 1 and stay surprised in place, allowing V3 the chance to hit it with his V3 Hanten Kick. In spite of most Destron troops still being alive, Doctor G orders Taiho Buffalo to fire on the battlefield. Kamen Riders 1 and V3 dodge the first attack, which just destroys the Poison Needle Spider. Kamen Rider 1 takes on Burner Koumori, while Kamen Rider 2 faces Lens Ari and Kusarigama Tento together. Pickel Shark attempts to attack Kamen Rider 1 from behind, but he's just kicked away. Doctor G orders Taiho Buffalo to attack again, in spite of the cyborgs still fighting against the Riders. An explosion covers the battlefield, but the three Riders emerge unarmed from it, while all Destron cyborgs had been destroyed. Kamen Riders 1 and 2 hit Taiho Buffalo with their Rider Double Kick, followed by V3 with his V3 Kick. Buffalo Cannon explodes, and Doctor G runs away from Shikoku. After the battle, Shiro Kazami tells Tobee Tachibana about how the Double Riders had returned to Australia to fight against Destron's forces there. Tachibana realizes that Hongo and Hayato only will return to live in Japan when real peace can be achieved throughout the whole world. ^{[Kamen Rider V3 vs. Destron Mutants]}

Baron Kiba, the leader of Destron's Fang Clan, who originally operated in Africa, moves to head Destron's operations in Japan after Doctor G is killed by V3. He uses black magic through Doovoo rituals and is considered a fearsome enemy by the first two Riders, who, after learning about him moving to Japan, also head back there. And, as they had foreseen, Shiro Kazami was paralyzed and defeated by Yuki Ookami, while Baron Kiba captured Tachibana and other Rider Squad members. However, Takeshi Hongo had come from Australia to stop his plans, allowing the Rider Squad members to escape. When Yuki Ookami attempts to stop Tachibana from escaping, Hayato Ichimonji reveals himself, having just arrived from America. The double Riders transform and destroy one of Baron Kiba's bases. All three Riders take on Yuki Ookami, who still was strong enough to stand up against them. However, after Kamen Rider 1's Rider Gaeshi, it's stunned and hit by Kamen Riders 2 and V3, who finishes it off with the V3 Spinning Chop. Baron Kiba promises vengeance against the 3 Riders. ^{[V3 in Danger! Riders 1 and 2 Return!!]}

Baron Kiba resurrects the Genshi Tiger, ancestor of all Fanged Beasts, and mother of the Fang Clan, Smilodon. Hongo tells Tachibana that after hearing about Baron Kiba's activities, he contacted Hayato in America and both returned to Japan. Meanwhile, Hayato attempts to search for Baron Kiba's hideout alone. Smilodon, taking the name Anekoji, visits the Rider Squad's base, and gives them a cursed doll. Hongo touches it and immediately falls due to the strong poison within. He is taken to a hospital, but the doctors were actually Destron agents that capture him. V3 soon falls before Smilodon's power. Hayato returns to meet Tachibana and the others, only to see a suspicious letter. Once it's open, poison is spilled out. However, he avoids it and notices Anekoji outside, pursuing her. He transforms into Kamen Rider 2 while chasing her on a custom fang bike, and soon she transforms too to reveal her real form as the Genshi Tiger. Smilodon uses a blast of fire that soon becomes an explosion, engulfing Kamen Rider 2, who is taken for dead. She returns to Baron Kiba's side and together they prepare to torture the captured Shiro Kazami and Takeshi Hongo. However, Hongo and Shiro had already recovered and were just playing along to get to Baron Kiba's hideout, however, they soon find themselves unable to transform in their cell. Meanwhile, Hayato was silently following Smilodon and frees the other two Riders. The 3 Riders together face Smilodon and Baron Kiba. Baron Kiba soon retreats, leaving Smilodon behind. Hongo, Shiro and Hayato transform to continue their fight with Smilodon. Kamen Riders 1 and 2 board their Cyclones, while V3 stands on top and they use their new Rider Triple Power charge attack, destroying Smilodon. With her death, Baron Kiba's altar of Doovoo also was destroyed and the Fang clan lost its power. ^{[Critical Moment! Baron Tusk vs. The Three Riders!!]}

After that victory, Hongo and Hayato leave Japan in Shiro's hands, while they return to fighting against Destron's evil around the world. It is likely that after defeating Destron, Hongo and the others rescued Riderman in Tahiti.

Kamen Rider X

Rider 1 vs — Kamen Rider 1 after facing down Kingdark.

G.O.D.'s forces attack various points of Tokyo, and to fight against this threat, the previous four Riders return from various points of the globe. Kamen Rider 1 returns from New York. A little boy called Masaru hears voices from below his home and believes that they're from G.O.D.'s forces, in spite of his family's disbelief. The boy leaves his home looking for Kamen Rider X, but the one he finds right after stepping out is actually Kamen Kamen Rider 1. He thanks to the boy for the information and reveals that he had been investigating about G.O.D. However, when he asks about what he had heard, the boy couldn't remember anything. The 5 Riders gather afterward with Tobee Tachibana. After Masaru is attacked by G.O.D. and escapes, he returns to Kamen Rider 1 and reveals G.O.D.'s plan: they needed blood for their newest monster, Franken Bat. X follows one of the Franken Bat's bat spy cameras to one of G.O.D's bases, and all Riders go with him. Kamen Rider 1 faces Cyclops and Chronos, followed by Cadeus and Alseides. Cadeus manages to put pressure on Kamen Rider 1, but it's thrown from the top of a tower afterward. Kamen Rider 1 regroups with the other Riders when Franken Bat attempts to escape. In this second battle, Kamen Rider 1 takes on Atlas and Pannic, defeating Atlas with an aerial throw, and finished off Cerberus with a kick. Afterward, the five Riders face Franken Bat. Kamen Rider 1 and Rider 2 hit Franken Bat with their Rider Kicks, destroying its wings. The four Riders helped X execute the Rider Super High Kick technique, destroying Franken Bat. They invade G.O.D.'s base and face Kingdark, but the entire complex is merely an illusion, which disappears while Kingdark laughs at them. ^{[Five Riders vs. Kingdark]}

Kamen Rider Stronger

Stronger-al-takeshi — Hongo as seen in *Kamen Rider Stronger*.

By the time of Stronger, Kamen Riders 1 and 2 were considered mere urban legends. However, following the movement of the Delzer Army troops, Kamen Riders 1 and 2 return to fight in Japan again. Kamen Rider 1 comes back from the United States, alongside Kamen Rider 2 from India, and rescue Shigeru Jo, Kamen Rider Stronger, who had been hanged on a waterfall by Marshal Machine, Commander Jishaku, and Armored Knight. They take on Marshal Machine and his troops while Tobee Tachibana takes care of an unconscious Shigeru. After subduing Marshal Machine, they force him to take them to where V3 and Riderman were being held by the Delzer Army. They're taken to a Delzer Army base but are caught in a trap room. However, Stronger soon breaks in to rescue them, and Kamen Rider 1 discovers plans for Delzer's operations. They leave to stop them, but are caught into a trap, and disappear in an explosion. However, they soon reappear alive, stopping Delzer's plans. Kamen Rider 1 takes on Armored Knight, while Kamen Rider 2 fights against Marshal Machine and Stronger fights against Commander Jishaku.^{[Appearance! Riders 1, 2!!]}

Kamen Rider 1 and Stronger easily defeat and capture Commander Jishaku and Armored Knight, and use them as hostages to make Marshal Machine release both Kamen Rider V3 and Riderman. Marshal Machine tells them to release his subordinates, otherwise, his troops would kill both V3 and Riderman. However, Kamen Rider X and Kamen Rider Amazon appear, and reveal that they had already rescued V3 and Riderman. The Seven Legendary Riders surround the three Delzer Army commanders. However, a monstrous rocky face appears in a nearby mountain and from its eyes releases destructive beams. Using the explosions created by the attack, the Delzer commanders escape. A voice in the skies announces that Tobee Tachibana is in the Delzer Army's hands. Afterward, the head in the mountain awakens again, and orders the Delzer Army to revive, restoring several Delzer and Black Satan members. The Riders march against the Delzer Army troops in a final battle. Kamen Rider 1 takes on and easily subdues Commander Jishaku again, along with a revived Kikkaijin Mecha-Gorilla, which explodes after Rider 1 throws it at the ground, alongside all other Delzer troops. Finally, Stronger finishes off Marshal Machine and frees Tobee Tachibana. The Riders reunite with Tachibana, but soon a familiar voice welcomes them: the Great Leader's. The Great Leader reveals that he had been behind not only Shocker, Gel Shocker and Destron, but also G.O.D. and Gedon. The Great Leader stands up from the mountain, taking the form of a rock giant, impervious to the attacks of the Riders. However, the Riders combine their powers and fly into his body. There, they find a giant alien brain who self-destructs in an attempt to kill all seven Riders. They all escape successfully and leave, reminiscing everything they've gone through so far. ^{[Goodbye! The Glorious Seven Riders!]}

All Together! Seven Kamen Riders!!

Tobee Tachibana tells children about the adventures of the Seven Legendary Riders. The children are excited by the stories, and so he takes them to watch a stage show homaging the heroes. While watching the actor portraying Kamen Rider 1, he reminisces about Hongo's battle against Shocker, up to Shocker's destruction with Jigoku Taishi's death, only to be surprised by the arrival of Takeshi Hongo himself, alongside Hayato Ichimonji, Shiro Kazami, and Joji Yuki. They had missed Japan and Tachibana and so had returned. They continue talking about various past battles while the other Riders also arrive. Suddenly, the Rider actors on the stage start being beaten up by the supposedly fake monsters. Shigeru Jo realizes that those are real monsters, and all Riders start guiding the people outside of the area. They all transform and take on the Delzer troops on stage, before following them to inside the backstage area. The Great General Darkness, a Delzer Army commander, appears before V3, alongside a revived Commanding Officer Frank and General Wolf. He announces the conquest of Japan and the monster's attack. Kamen Rider 1 takes on a revived Kikkaijin Mecha-Gorilla once again. He, alongside the other 6 Riders, turns his attention to General Darkness. The Kamen Riders unite their powers into a destructive wave that completely destroys the General. After the battle, they reunite once more with Tachibana and bid farewell.

Other events

Initially, the events of Kamen Rider were supposed to have ended with Kamen Rider Stronger, hence the 4 year hiatus. However, Toei eventually decided to renew the franchise with Kamen Rider (Skyrider), originally planned to be a reboot^[5]. By popular demand, Hongo and the others were introduced into the story, turning it into a sequel.

Kamen Rider (Skyrider)

Rider 1 in Skyrider 27 — Kamen Rider 1 returns to Japan.

The evil organization Neo Shocker moved ahead with its plans of global genocide to create a new world order. Takeshi Hongo, Kamen Rider 1, alongside the other Seven Legendary Riders, fought around the world against it, leaving Japan's protection to the new Kamen Rider, Hiroshi Tsukuba, Skyrider. Eventually, Neo Shocker gathers an army of Second Generation Cyborgs in Japan, led by Gurand Bazarmy, known as the Strongest Cyborg on Earth, and also plans to launch a direct offensive with an experimental tank, the Varithium Cannon, led by Hirubiran. To save Japan, the seven Riders return and, alongside Skyrider, destroy the experimental Varithium Cannon and Hirubiran. However, they are soon challenged by Gurand Bazarmy and his troops. ^{[Tank and Kaijin the Second Generation Corps, Full Force of Eight Riders]}

Rider 1 in Skyrider 28 — Kamen Rider 1 witnesses the Powered Skyrider.

Neo Shocker troops start kidnapping many people around Japan in order to work as slaves in their operation to bring about a large volcanic eruption in Japan. The seven Riders spread around Japan to fight against various attacks from Neo Shocker. Kamen Riders 1, 2, and Amazon intercept the troops led by the second generation cyborgs Jaguar Van, Shibirayjin, Gokiburijin, Madarakajin, and Dokuganba. Kamen Rider 1 faces Shibirayjin, but soon the battle is interrupted by Gurand Bazarmy's arrival. Gurand Bazarmy challenges the three Riders to fight against him by himself, while the other cyborgs continue taking the people away. Moving with great speed, it easily dodges Amazon's Great Slice and the Double Riders' Rider Double Kick, before disappearing with incredible speed. In a later battle, Skyrider is easily wounded and left unconscious while trying to face Gurand Bazarmy. While he recovers, the Riders communicate telepathically with the unconscious Hiroshi Tsukuba. Kamen Rider 1 watches his determination to fight again, in spite of his defeat, and tells him that he expected no less from Skyrider. The Riders tell Skyrider that he should go through an intense training where he'd receive their powers by taking a Rider Kick from each of them, multiplying his strength 20 times to fight against Gurand Bazarmy again.

After Skyrider's training is finished, all Riders leave to face Neo Shocker again. Skyrider faces Gurand Bazarmy, while the Legendary Seven fight against Neo Shocker's Second Generation Cyborgs troops. Kamen Rider 1 faces the 2nd generation Sai Dump, countering his attacks and destroying it with a Rider Kick, and Kogoensky, which is destroyed with a simple throw attack. Finally, a second Rider Kick was used to destroy Yamorijin. Gurand Bazarmy and his army quickly fall before the Riders. After the battle is over, the Seven Riders leave Japan again, to fight Neo Shocker all over the world, while Skyrider remains to protect Japan. ^{[Eight Riders' Great Training of Friendship]}

Neo Shocker makes an alliance with an alien, the self-proclaimed GingaOh, and starts an operation to explore Mount Fuji. When Skyrider is ambushed by another troop of Second Generation Cyborgs led by Jaguar Van, all seven Riders arrive to face their forces and allow Skyrider to proceed. Kamen Rider 1 takes on Shibirayjin and Kumonjin, but still catches up with Skyrider when Jaguar Van attacks him. Kamen Rider 1 takes the battle against the Neo Shocker commander by himself. He destroys Kumonjin with a Rider Kick while Riderman and the new Neo Shocker cyborg, Armadig, join the battle too. Kamen Rider 1 takes on Armadig, breaking him out of his defense mode and destroying him with a Rider Kick.

Rider 1 in Skyrider finale — Kamen Rider 1, ready for the final assault against Neo Shocker.

Answering the call of Stronger and Kamen Rider 2, who had located Neo Shocker's main headquarters, in Japan, Kamen Rider 1 travels from Mexico, joining up with V3, Riderman, and Amazon who return from various countries around the world. Kamen Rider 1 takes leadership of the group, and they head to Neo Shocker's underwater base, only to be faced with a giant dragon, the Great Leader of Neo Shocker himself. The attacks of all Riders prove to be ineffective against the Great Leader, but Stronger and Rider 2 motivate the others to continue fighting and they hold on long enough for Skyrider to arrive. Skyrider stuns the Great Leader by shooting his foot with a crossbow he stole from a Neo Shocker member, and, using the opportunity, all Seven Legendary Riders hit the Great Leader with their Rider Kicks, knocking down the giant. However, he was still alive and decides to detonate the Oxygen Destruction Bomb, which would destroy Earth's atmosphere completely. The eight Riders combine their powers and use Skyrider's Sailing Jump together, holding the Great Leader inside an energy barrier that contains the explosion's blast. All eight Riders seemingly perish alongside it (in reality they are blasted to space where they eventually regroup). ^{[Farewell, Hiroshi Tsukuba! Eight Heroes Forever....]}

The Badan Empire, led by Kurayami Taishi, spread its claws around the world, and, to face it, the nine Riders came together. When Badan attempts to initiate its Spacetime Rupture System, a destructive dimensional weapon, all 9 Riders gather in Japan to stop them. Kamen Rider 1 and Amazon infiltrate a port with ships carrying Badanium-84, an element necessary for Badan's secret weapon. Their presence aborts Badan's operation there. However, there were multiple means of transport of Badanium. Kamen Riders 1 and 2 team up again and stop one of the trucks carrying Badanium. Taka-Roid was responsible for the transport but quickly retreats, leaving Kamen Riders 1 and 2 to defeat Combatroids and destroy the truck with a Double Kick. In spite of the efforts of the Riders, one truck with Badanium still arrives at their base. However, Kamen Rider 1 locates Badan's Japanese headquarters and calls the other Riders telepathically.

All 8 Riders meet up with Kamen Rider 1 and are joined by ZX, a Badan cyborg who turned against them. Kurayami Taishi welcomes the 10 Riders and sends all of Badan's troops. Bara-Roid takes on Kamen Rider 1, soon joined by Yamaarashi-Roid. Kamen Rider 1 blocks their weapons and destroys Bara-Roid with a Rider Kick.

Jigoku-Roid and Kamen Rider 1 fight against each other, but before the battle could be finished, Kurayami Taishi attempts to use hostages to make the Riders surrender. His plan fails due to Super-1's interference, so Kurayami Taishi decides to use the Spacetime Rupture System to kill everyone, but it only manages to destroy Badan's remaining troops. After V3's call, the ten Riders gather their power with the Rider Syndrome, weakening Kurayami Taishi and allowing ZX to finish him off. After Darkness is defeated, evil energy gathers in the shape of a giant skull: The Generalissimo of Badan. He gives a mocking farewell to the Riders while laughing at them.

In the end, Kamen Rider 1 is defeated by Gaim, and All Riders, except for Gaim himself, are seemingly killed during the battle.

However, it's eventually revealed that it was all a plan formulated by Takeshi Hongo and ZX. ZX recovers the Rider Lockseeds that Badan had obtained after each Rider seemingly died and used them with Gaim's help to bring all Riders back from the Helheim Forest. While Badan activates their Mega Reverse machine, which would reverse the living and dead worlds, killing everyone alive, Kamen Rider 1 and the other Riders set out to defeat them and destroy their machine.

After everything is over, however, Kamen Rider 1 admits that, even though the infighting was just part of the plan to stop Badan, the differences between the Showa and Heisei Riders were real. Takeshi Hongo claims that the Heisei Riders, with their half-hearted kindness, could be considered as bringing the last crisis to themselves. The Heisei Riders hesitate for a moment, but soon they all start fighting. Kamen Rider 1's opponent in the battle is Gaim.

Heisei Ending (Ending shown in theaters)

Kamen Rider 1 uses a Rider Kick against Gaim as he blocks the attack with his weapons, but, in spite of that, is knocked down, damaged. However, Hongo stops the battle once he notices that Gaim had chosen to block his attack, rather than dodge, to protect a lone flower on the battlefield. Kamen Rider 1 concedes defeat and acknowledges that the kind strength shown by Kouta to protect even the smallest life form could be a real strength, accepting him as Kamen Rider Gaim.

Showa Ending (Home release-exclusive)

Gaim and Kamen Rider 1 are seemingly matched, but, right before unleashing a powerful attack, Gaim gives up, claiming defeat. Narutaki, who watched the battle, comments that Kamen Rider 1 had many chances to counterattack, but chose to wait, doing everything to draw out more power from Gaim. Gaim noticed what Kamen Rider 1 had done and gave up, realizing that Kamen Rider 1's kindness is a real strength. In turn, Kamen Rider 1 acknowledges him as Kamen Rider Gaim.

After either version of the ending, both teams would call a truce. Kamen Rider 1 says that the ones who'll build the future and cross generations are the youth. Gaim doesn't know where they'll get, but they'll try, and everyone will fight together for the future. Afterward, Takeshi Hongo leaves alone in his New Cyclone.

Saber thanks 1 for his assistance, with 1 stating that it was made possible from the audience's love for justice. Telling the audience that he will reappear when needed, 1 bids them farewell before disappearing.

Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations

Birth of Ichigo BG Ver — Hongo's surgery in Shocker's laboratory.

While he wasn't active during the film's present events, Takeshi Hongo (portrayed by Maito Fujioka) was shown through a past flashback in Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations. It was revealed by Ryunosuke Momose was one of the scientists who operated on Hongo during the procedure that turned him into a cyborg. However, Hongo was determined to not give into Shocker's oppression, which ended up inspiring Ryunosuke himself to leave Shocker. Cutting back to sometime later in his career as the "Kamen Rider", Hongo battled Jaguarman as he dons his New 1 form.

Takeshi Hongo Thanks Ryunosuke — Young Hongo's illusion appears to thank Ryunosuke.

After Ryunosuke Momose helped avert the future where Diablo ruled the world, he began to disappear as the timeline changed. He was visited by an illusion of Takeshi Hongo and Ryunosuke apologizes for turning him into a cyborg. However, the illusion of Hongo assured that he was grateful for the operation that gave him the power to confront evil.

Kamen Rider SD (OVA)

Main article: Kamen Rider 1 (SD)

Kamen Rider 1: The original and most experienced Kamen Rider, whom everyone simply refers to as "sempai." He is often found racing around on his Cyclone motorcycle trying to beat his track records, while at the same time putting up with the daily annoyances of Black RX and ZX. He often lectures the other Riders on focusing on their training. He is the team leader of his squad, which includes Black RX and ZX. His finishing move is the "Rider Kick" and appears in the movie in his silver-gloved form. He rides in a modified version of the New-Cyclone motorcycle.

Kamen Rider Manga

Unlike in the TV series, after a bike accident during his racecourse with his mentor Tobee Tachibana, Hongo awoke during the procedure that turns him into a super-powered cyborg but escapes before he can be brainwashed to do Shocker's bidding. Afterward, he battles various Shocker Monsters just like in the TV series, but he soon faces 12 Shocker Riders. He was subsequently killed but 1 of the 12, named Hayato Ichimonji, receives a head injury that causes him to regain his memories and personality from before his brainwashing. Hayato destroys all 11 Shocker Riders and becomes Kamen Rider by reprising Hongo's role during his absence. Hongo then acts as Hayato's mentor by connecting his brain to Hayato. Near the end of the manga story, Hongo is resurrected by transplanting his brain into a Kamen Rider body designed to be more powerful and returns to battle alongside Hayato to confront Big Machine, Shocker's Commander. Although it seemed Big Machine had the edge because of his ability to stop machinery from functioning, Hongo prevails and defeats Big Machine. Hongo then destroys the supercomputer Big Machine planned to use to brainwash the citizens of Japan. With Shocker's plan foiled, the base started to self-destruct, with Hongo, Hayato, and Kazuya narrowly escaping in time.

Net Movies

Let's Go Kamen Rider

In the 36th net movie Listen Quietly! What Modifies My Life!!, Kamen Rider 1 does the Kamen Rider State of the Union address, only for him to rant about how the protagonists of the Heisei Era are not cyborgs and that they are not worthy of the name Kamen Rider because of it. He then suggests that the Heisei Riders should undergo conversion and training to be more worthy of the name. While Kamen Rider 2 crushes in to support the idea, the two get dragged off by an embarrassed OOO and Den-O.

Video Games

Kamen Rider 1 has appeared in various video games.

Kamen Rider Club

Kamen Rider 1 appears as one of six Riders who fight Shocker in Kamen Rider Club, being one of the first three which are available from the start.

Kamen Rider (Super Famicom)

Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider 1 is controlled by Player 1 alongside Player 2's Ichimonji/Kamen Rider 2 in the Super Famicom Kamen Rider game.

Kamen Rider (PS1)

Kamen Rider 1 appears with Rider 2 in the PlayStation Kamen Rider video game.

In the "Kamen Rider Story," the player must defeat the evil Shocker organization to restore peace by battling against six Combatmen before fighting against Shocker monsters. If the monster or player's health is 50% or less, the game automatically switches the position of the player on the screen. If all Shocker and Gel Shocker monsters are defeated, the player will immediately fight against Shocker Leader without fighting Combatmen or switching around.

In "Shocker Story" players play as Shocker monsters which must defeat enemy Shocker monster. If the player successfully passes the 8th round, the player's Shocker monster turns into Saikyō Kaijin (最強怪人, Saikyō Kaijin) which is stronger and has a different appearance from the original form. The player can then upgrade punching power, kicking power or both or can summon six Combatmen to aid them. the player then must defeat Kamen Rider 1 before facing Kamen Rider 2.

Super Tokusatsu Taisen 2001

Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider 1 is a playable character in the Sony PlayStation crossover strategy game Super Tokusatsu Taisen 2001 along with Hayato Ichimonji, Shiro Kazami, Joji Yuki and Kohtaro Minami.

Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu

Takeshi Hongo stars as the main character in the 1971 Timeline in this crossover game. (Although for a time, he is replaced as the playable character by Ichimonji.) Hongo must fight off Shocker and Colonel Zol, who is slowly turning human beings into werewolf monsters as part of a much larger plot in the not-so-distant future. Eventually, he travels to 1988 along with V3 and Agito to aid Kamen Rider Black in the final battle. Hiroshi Fujioka returns to voice the role. Kamen Rider 2 appears in his second outfit (although the Sakurajima version of his outfit is available as an unlockable).

Kamen Rider: The Bike Race

Kamen Rider 1 appears riding the Cyclone and New Cyclone in Kamen Rider: The Bike Race, a racing game featuring the majority of Kamen Riders and Rider Machines up to Kamen Rider Agito.

Kamen Rider: Battride War Genesis

Kamen Rider 1 is among the Showa Riders who make their Battride War franchise debut in this game. As a first for the franchise, he has a starter set, which enters the battle as Takeshi Hongo (depicted as he appeared in 1971) anytime and will be able to transform into Kamen Rider 1 during gameplay permanently. As Kamen Rider 1, he can change Stance Modes between "Melee Mode" (which uses close-combat attacks like the Rider Kick and Rider Chop), and "Grapple Mode" (which uses grappling attacks like the Rider Gaeshi and Rider Kirimomi Shoot), which can be used in the air (Melee Mode's Jumping Rider Kick and Grapple Mode's Rider Tailspin Shot).

The first print run of the game will include a download code featuring Hongo disguised as a Shocker Combatman as a separate character from Kamen Rider 1, featuring much weaker attacks (including a weaponized version of the Shocker salute).

In the storyline, an unknown figure instigates a time paradox, causing Hongo and several other Kamen Riders to be erased from existence. However, Ryotaro/Den-O and Takeru/Ghost were ultimately able to remedy the issue, reviving Hongo and their brethren. When Takeru questions whether they should have stopped Hongo's alteration into a cyborg altogether, Hongo assures him that the proper choice was made, stating the event to be necessary for the greator good.

In the final battle, their mysterious foe is revealed to be the Creation King, The Creation King reveals his plot to the Kamen Riders, sneering at their actions. In defiance, Hongo swears to stop the Creation King's plans, much to the latter's amusement.

Eventually, the Creation King is overwhelmed in battle, though Hongo's transformation was canceled in the process. Severely weakened, the Creation King lost control over his new body, causing Shadow Moon to submerge once more. Fully empowered as the "new" Creation King, Shadow Moon plotted to take over the entire space-time continuum. Suddenly, Hongo interrupted him.

Like his predecessor, Shadow Moon sneered at the "First Rider", believing that his foes were no longer a threat. Undeterred by this, Hongo re-transformed into Kamen Rider 1, leading his successors into another battle. To Shadow Moon's shock, his godlike powers proved insufficent for victory, with his defeat sealed by Hongo and Takeru's Double Rider Kick.

Pachinko Kamen Rider Go-On

Takeshi Goon — Hongo as he appears in a live-action promotional video for the game.

Sensing the re-emergence of the Shocker army, Hongo chooses Go Owaza and Shun Rikido to become a new generation of Double Riders, equipping them with upgraded Typhoon belts to transform into the new Riders 1 and 2 respectively.

Personality

Takeshi Hongo is a cordial man with a strong sense of heroism. As both Tachibana and Taki note, Hongo can also be somewhat peculiar and innocently childish at times, hence his great enthusiasm for bike racing and biochemistry. Despite his immense intelligence, he prefers to act casual in general, hanging out and cracking jokes with friends regularly.

When converted into a cyborg, Hongo initially felt greatly desolate, horrified at the idea of being a "monster". From his friends' support though, Hongo gradually overcame his despair, becoming noticeably more cheerful. Since then, Hongo matured significantly, even becoming a mentor for the Rider Squad.

As the first Kamen Rider, Hongo readily looks out for his successors, leading them in their shared crusade for justice. Aware of the hardships that can follow as a hero, Hongo will assist them when needed, in hopes that they reach their full potential. Furthermore, he will show mercy to foes if possible, to the point of outright saving them^[6].

The manga version of Hongo by Shotaro Ishinomori is more stoic in attitude, having been raised by a wealthy household. To an even greater extent than the TV version, he is also troubled as a cyborg, acting somber for the most part. In spite of this, Hongo remains dedicated in his crusade against Shocker, vowing to stop their nefarious ways. Even after his body was fatally wounded, he chose to continue supporting Hayato via mind link, usually tempering the latter's impulsiveness. After restored into a new cyborg body, Hongo triumphantly returned as Kamen Rider 1, assisting Ichimonji and Taki against Big Machine's forces.

Since the Heisei era, Hongo is portrayed as a hot-blooded individual; a sharp contrast to his initial calm and mellow demeanor. He will often speak in a rather dramatic manner, normally in the form of heroic speeches.

In Kamen Rider Gaim though, Hongo is portrayed as a callous individual. Deriding emotional attachments as detrimental, Hongo suddenly denies the Heisei Riders as worthy heroes, believing them to be a danger if left unchecked. Upon witnessing Gaim sacrificing himself for a single flower, Hongo retracts his previous statement, admitting defeat in their battle and accepting the Heisei Riders as true Kamen Riders.

In Kamen Rider Ghost, Hongo has an enigmatic attitude. Feeling guilty for neglecting Mayu, Hongo promised her to stop fighting as a Kamen Rider, refusing to help Ghost and Specter, despite the countless lives at stake. However, upon learning of Mayu's connection to the Alexander Eyecon, Hongo musters his remaining strength to protect her, losing his life in the process. Upon his miraculous revival, Hongo's fighting spirit is fully reignited, allowing him to defeat Nova Shocker.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Artificially Enhanced Physiology: Hongo has superhuman abilities augmented far beyond the most gifted athletes. With each battle, Hongo continues to grow stronger, possessing unlimited potential.
- Hyper Strength: In human form, Hongo can break apart metal objects in an instant. By transforming into Kamen Rider 1, Hongo damaged Shocker's armored bus, severely wounded Shadow Moon with a Rider Punch, and finished off the godlike Creation King through a Double Rider Kick.
- Hyper Durability: Hongo has easily withstood oxygen deprivation, absolute zero freezing, a nuclear bomb, and an explosion which blasted him into outer space.
- Light Speed Reflexes: Hongo can react to dangers that move at the speed of light, skillfully dodging Owl Man's x-ray eye beams in their battle.
- Appearance Duplication: Like Shocker's other cyborgs, Hongo possesses the ability to change his appearance into other individuals.
- Mind Link: From their similar cyborg designs, Hongo is able to telepathically link with Ichimonji and/or Kazami; said link powerful enough to undo Shocker's brainwashing.
- Instant Healing: Through receiving a strong gust of wind, Hongo can recover from any physical injuries.
Rider Synchro/Syndrome: By combining his might with other Kamen Riders, Hongo can somehow warp reality itself.

Abilities

Genius-Level Intellect: Hongo has an IQ of 600, with his expertise being biochemistry. Some of his most impressive feats include: creating antidotes for rare and exotic poisons, co-designing the New Cyclone, and converting Shiro Kazami into Kamen Rider V3.
Exceptional Leadership: As the first Kamen Rider, Hongo normally takes command when fighting alongside his successors, providing not only insight and wisdom, but also strategy and tact to outwit their foes.
Expert Detective: In contrast to his somewhat eccentric nature, Hongo displays surprising focus when investigating Shocker's activities, using given clues to figure out their secret plans. If required, Hongo will go undercover to spy on his foes, disguising himself to fool others.
Mastery of motorbike racing/driving: Since he was trained by Tachibana, Hongo is an excellent bike racer. When transformed into Kamen Rider 1, Hongo swiftly defeated several Shocker Combatmen on their own modified bikes. Among the Kamen Riders, Hongo's racing technique may very well be the best.
Master Combatant: Befitting his title as "First Rider", Hongo is essentially unmatched in pure skill. In Kamen Rider Stronger, Hongo easily overwhelmed several of the Delzer Army's generals in combat, despite their powers alone rivaling Stronger in Charge-Up Form.
Weapon Mastery: While normally a hand-to-hand fighter, Hongo is also a master weapon user, usually stealing weapons from Shocker Combatmen and using them to his advantage.

Because he was meant to be Shocker’s greatest altered human, Kamen Rider (仮面ライダー, Kamen Raidā)'s capabilities are far greater than a normal man. He has the ability to hear at distances up to 4 kilometers away. He can break a meter thick tree trunk or a metal rod 10 cm thick with his Rider Chop. His Rider Kick has enough power to bend steel supports of buildings. Even when he wasn't fully transformed, this form was strong enough to withstand a 50,000 volt electric shock.

Unlike in his later forms, Hongo can't transform automatically in this form, needing external wind to jump start the Typhoon's turbine and give him access to his suit and most of his fighting strength. That wind is generally generated by riding his bike, but it also can come from other sources, like an explosion that pushes hot wind towards the Typhoon belt. It is thinkable that becoming Kamen Rider has granted him a degree of immortality and immunity to organic diseases, viruses, bacteria and poison due to becoming a cybernetic human.

To distinguish from Kamen Rider 2, who also was solely known as "Kamen Rider", Takeshi Hongo's Kamen Rider form is referred as Kamen Rider 1 (仮面ライダー1号, Kamen Raidā Ichi-Gō). Also, to distinguish from his later upgrades, this form is usually referred to as Kamen Rider 1 (Old 1) (仮面ライダー1号（旧1号）, Kamen Raidā Ichi-Gō (Kyū-Ichi-Gō)).

Rider 1 original (Kamen Rider Taisen) — As seen in the middle of Hongo's transformation in *Kamen Rider Taisen*.

The original form of Kamen Rider 1 returned in Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai, as a part of Hongo's transformation into his Kamen Rider New 1 form before the battle between the Showa Riders and Heisei Riders. It also reappeared as a book incarnation in Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki.

Kamen Rider 1 consists of the following parts:^[15]

Head (頭部, Tōbu)
- Ultrasensitive Antennae (超触覚アンテナ, Chō Shokkaku Antena): A tactile antennae that can catch radio waves in 4km square. It can also be used for radio communication.

Converter Lung (コンバーターラング, Konbātā Rangu): The wind power sent from the wind turbine dynamo is converted into energy and stored in the energy converter. At the same time, activates an ultra-small nuclear reactor and generates the power of artificial muscles throughout the body.
Rider Grip (ライダーグリップ, Raidā Gurippu): Fingers that grab the target and doesn't let go. His grip strength is 10 times more than that of a normal person.

This form has the following techniques:

Rider Kick (ライダーキック, Raidā Kikku): 1 throws a kick that is powerful enough to destroy a monster.
- Denko Rider Kick (電光ライダーキック, Denkō Raidā Kikku): A more powerful version of Rider Kick.

The form Hongo shows after fighting against Shocker in Europe for some time. His appearance changed due to the effects of the constant fighting on his physical appearance and acceptance of himself.

In the TV show, this form doesn't seem to be any stronger than the original form of Kamen Rider 1, but with stronger combat power due to Hongo's experience by this point. However, in the movie Kamen Rider vs. Shocker, this form was shown to be able to transform without needing external wind sources.

This version of Kamen Rider 1 is referred to as Sakurajima 1 (桜島1号, Sakurajima Ichi-Gō), due to the story arc where it debuted mostly taking place there. ^{[Quiz! Distinguishing the First Rider]}

Takeshi Hongo is captured by Shocker and taken for a second reconstruction surgery, which gives him abilities surpassing his original ones. Hongo uses self-hypnosis to escape Shocker's brainwashing, turning their own power against them once again. ^{[From Here to Eternity]}

The upgrade allows Hongo to transform instantly, without needing external wind sources, gives him enough power and durability to survive a subzero trap and even a nuclear bomb close range with no apparent damage, and gives Hongo the versatility for different techniques that can satisfy demands otherwise unattainable in his previous forms, giving Hongo the nickname "Skill of 1" (技の1号, Waza no Ichigō); this capability was later passed to Kamen Rider V3, with his 26 skills or techniques.

This form also gives Hongo access to Rider Power, a temporary boost in Kamen Rider 1's battle power, triggered with a switch in his new Typhoon belt, that greatly increases his strength, making Kamen Rider 1 superior to Shocker's other creations.

In Ultraman vs. Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider 1 gains the ability to grow to Ultraman's size in order to balance out their size differences.

New 1 consists of the following parts:^[20]

Head (頭部, Tōbu)
- Ultrasensitive Antennae (超触覚アンテナ, Chō Shokkaku Antena): A radar antennae that captures all radio waves and sound waves.
- Cat Eye (C（キャット）アイ, Kyatto Ai): A compound eye that has a wider vision than humans and can see through the darkness with its infrared radiation function. It also has a zoom function to see the details of the object.
- O Signal (Oシグナル, O Shigunaru): A danger detector that can search up to 4km around. When an enemy monster approaches within a radius of 100m, it catches the special wavelength emitted by them and the lamp blinks. It also has a telepathic function with other Kamen Riders.
- Super Auditory Device (超聴覚器, Chō Chōkakuki): A sound collector that has 40 times the hearing of ordinary people. New 1 can hear the sound of the surrounding area in 4km.

After fighting for over 45 years, Kamen Rider 1 (仮面ライダー1号, Kamen Raidā Ichi-Gō) appears with a further upgrade known as Power Up (パワーアップ, Pawā Appu) or Neo 1 (ネオ1号, Neo Ichi-Gō)^[22], which is heavily armored and features a color scheme similar to Sakurajima 1. This form has been achieved after years of intense battles and training, with each function evolving and resulting in the perfection of his ultimate body.^[23]

The suit also sports an updated version of the Typhoon, which has a shielded metal cover to protect the belt's fan turbine when Hongo isn't transformed. When he transforms, the plasma windmill in the center of Typhoon rotates at high speed, generating tremendous power.

Kamen Rider 1 consists of the following parts:

ShockerGrasshopperMan1 — Grasshopper Man 1

Hongo's true form as Shocker's Grasshopper Man 1 (バッタ男1号, Batta-Otoko Ichi-Gō).

Appearances: Kamen Rider: 1971-1973

Sanshiro Segata (せがた三四郎, Segata Sanshirō) is a fictional advertising mascot created by Sega for the Sega Saturn. He is a mysterious martial artist who travels the land to hone his skills at playing video games and mercilessly beats up anyone who isn't playing a Sega Saturn.

Sanshiro HENSHIN! — "Sanshiro Segata" does Kamen Rider 1's transformation pose before becoming Kamen Rider 1.

During the 49th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen with Sanshiro Segata, Ika Devil appeared and attacked with a platoon of Shocker Combatmen. Sanshiro revealed that he was actually Takeshi Hongo and transformed into Kamen Rider 1 to fight Ika Devil's forces alongside Kamen Riders 2, V3 and BLACK RX.

This "form change" is mostly a comedic reference to the fact that Hiroshi Fujioka portrays both Segata and Kamen Rider 1.

Transformation

Hongo uses the power of the wind to fight. To transform, Hongo originally sped on his motorcycle, Cyclone, and leaps into the air, creating wind-pressure against his Typhoon belt. The pressure spins the wheel in the center of his belt which then activates the micro-nuclear engine and allows him to transform.

Later on as he grew more powerful Hongo learned to transform by absorbing the wind by himself, thus getting rid of a major weakness. Like Kamen Rider 2 and Kamen Rider V3, Hongo can't transform properly when his Typhoon belt is hit by sub-zero coldness^[24].

The "old" Rider did not have a shout or a pose when he transforms.

Rider Transformation

"Rider...Transform! (ライダー…変身！, Raidā...Henshin!)"

―Hongo's most recent transformation call into Kamen Rider 1^[src]

In his upgraded forms, Hongo shouts and throws his right arm at a diagonal to his right then rotates it clockwise until it's a diagonal to his left, then he retracts it to his waist and thrusts out his left arm at a diagonal to his right. After that pose, Hongo leaps into the air where the wind-pressure activates his transformation. In several instances, however, the transformation can be activated instantly after his transformation pose, without the need for him to leap into the air.

KRDCD-KamenRide 1 Rider Card — KamenRide: 1

With the KamenRide: 1 (カメンライド1号, Kamenraido Ichigō) card, Kamen Rider Decade transforms into Kamen Rider 1 as seen in Super Hero Taisen. Previously, in All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, Decade Complete Form Jumbo Formation performed the Final Dimension Kick, a variation of the Dimension Kick, transforming the Shōwa, including Kamen Rider 1, and Heisei Riders into Kamen Ride cards for Decade to travel through as opposed to Final Attack Ride cards before hitting the target. Unlike his other Kamen Rides, Decade's Decadriver changes along with his costume, taking on the appearance of the Typhoon Belt. However, when Captain Marvelous (as Akarenger) strikes the "Typhoon" during battle, it seems to short out and changes back into the Decadriver, revealing "Rider 1" to be Decade after all.

In World of OOO, this Rider Card is consists of a modified green-colored Batta Medal. Used as O Medal by Eiji to utilize Legend TaToBa Combo (Batta Leg).

Relationships

Allies

Showa
- Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider 2: After being rescued from Shocker by Hongo, Ichimonji becomes his replacement to fight Shocker in Japan. Since Hongo's return, the two worked together to stop Shocker and its successors. The two are the best of friends and have fought together since 1971.
- Tobee Tachibana: Hongo sees Tachibana as his mentor and father-figure. Having lost his family members in a car accident, Tachibana also sees Hongo as a son. Among all the Kamen Riders, Hongo is undoubtedly the closest to Tachibana.
- Kazuya Taki: Hongo's other best friend, Taki was originally his rival at bike racing. The two have great trust in each other, with Taki having helped Hongo many times.
- Shiro Kazami/Kamen Rider V3: Hongo's junior at Johnan University, he is made into Kamen Rider V3 through the combined efforts of Kamen Riders 1 and 2. The two are very close friends, with Hongo referring to Kazami as a brother at one point.
Other Kamen Riders: Throughout the series, Hongo interacts with all of the Kamen Riders, acting as a leader, mentor, and partner, helping them to become better, stronger heroes.

Enemies

Great Leader: Hongo and the Great Leader feel great enmity toward one another, given their history as archenemies. To taunt Hongo, the Great Leader usually addresses him as "Hongo-kun", barring cases when genuinely furious.
Dr. Shinigami: Dr. Shinigami views Hongo as a "punk", being extremely annoyed by his actions as Kamen Rider 1. However, Dr. Shinigami has also admitted Hongo to be a powerful enemy, a sentiment which Hongo shares as well.
Ambassador Hell: Alongside Dr. Shinigami, Ambassador Hell was Shocker's greatest admin, thus making him one of Hongo's most deadly foes.
General Black: General Black proved a nigh-equal for Hongo in strategy, having regularly matched wits. After their final battle, Hongo acknowledged General Black and Shocker's admins as "true warriors", impressed by their prowess and sense of dedication.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Takeshi Hongo is portrayed by Hiroshi Fujioka (藤岡弘、, Fujioka Hiroshi), who originally had performed his own stunts for Kamen Rider 1 until he shattered his leg in a motorcycle stunt gone wrong. The injury forced him to take a long-term hiatus from acting, and Takeshi Sasaki was brought on to replace Fujioka as Hayato Ichimonji. Unused footage of Fujioka would be used to gradually phase out Hongo and fully establish Hayato as the new protagonist. After Fujioka recovered and the show becoming a moderate success, the story wrote in his return and he reprised his role alongside Sasaki's as the Double Riders in time for several finale episodes. After the conclusion of the original series, Fujioka reprised his role in both Kamen Rider V3 and Kamen Rider Stronger, with archived footage of him being utilized in Five Riders vs. Kingdark while he provided new voice lines.

Since then, Hongo had been voiced by several replacements as Fujioka had been unable to reprise the role in some capacity:

Michihiro Ikemizu (who voiced many monsters, including Shocker Rider #1 in the original series) voiced Kamen Rider 1 in The New Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Super-1: The Movie and Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!. Rintarō Torii voiced Kamen Rider 1 in Kamen Rider Black RX.
In recent crossover films, Tetsu Inada voiced the character in Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max, Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z, and Ressha Sentai ToQger Vs. Kamen Rider Gaim Spring Vacation Combining Special.

Fujioka provided a voice role of the character in OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders, and returned to a physical reprisal in Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai, followed by Kamen Rider 1, and most recently in Kamen Rider Saber ＋ Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki. The same year as Superhero Senki, Fujioka's son Maito portrayed the role in Hongo's younger appearances in Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations.

Cultural Recognition

Kamen Rider is featured as #27 in the 1986 archive compilation video Toei 100 Great Heroes Super Fight.

He first appeared in Kamen Rider, the first installment in the long-running Kamen Rider franchise of tokusatsu programs. Each episode sees Hongo meeting another of Shocker's soldiers, interacting with supporting characters (such as his mentor, Tobee Tachibana), and ultimately defeating the enemy, often with the trademark "Rider Kick" or "Rider Punch" attacks.

The primary protagonist of the series, Kamen Rider 1 is a motorcycle-riding superhero modeled after a Grasshopper. One of the most recognizable and iconic characters in Japanese entertainment, Kamen Rider 1 is as irrecoverably burnt into the cultural subconscious as the series itself.

Ichigo earthquake statue — The Kamen Rider statue still standing amidst the 2011 earthquake.

A statue of Kamen Rider stands outside the Ishinomori Manga Museum in Miyagi, a city neighboring Tome, where Shotaro Ishinomori was born. This statue was observed still standing amongst the rubble after the Tōhoku earthquake and resulting tsunami in 2011, and became the subject of a well-known photo.

Notes

Contrary to popular belief, Hongo is not the first Kamen Rider to utilize the hand motions that would later be iconic for transformations in the Kamen Rider series. The honor actually belongs to Hayato Ichimonji, transforming in episode 14, via the hand motions.
In recent Heisei and Reiwa developments, Hongo is predated by other heroes who have come long before he was born (ex. the first Kuuga, Riku). Nevertheless, Hongo is the first to bear the title as "Kamen Rider".
In the Malaysian English dub, both he and Kamen Rider 2 are called "Black Mask Rider".

[New_Rider_1-4] The events surrounding Rider 1's upgrade aren't directly acknowledged in the series, only in written material. However, they're indirectly acknowledged in TV show itself with the new scenes in the opening narration, and a later flashback in episode 86 where Hongo recalls his use of self-hypnosis to escape.

+==History==
-{{nihongo|'''Takeshi Hongo'''|本郷 猛|Hongō Takeshi}} is {{nihongo|'''Kamen Rider 1'''|仮面ライダー１号|Kamen Raidā Ichigō|Masked Rider 1}}, the very first Kamen Rider in existence. He first appeared in ''[[Kamen Rider]]'', the first in the famous ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' franchise of tokusatsu programs. The primary protagonist of the series, Kamen Rider 1 is a motorcycle-riding superhero modeled upon a Grasshopper. One of the most recognizable and iconic characters in Japanese entertainment, Kamen Rider 1 is as irrecoverably burnt onto the cultural subconscious as the series itself.
+===Battle against Shocker===
+Born on August 15, 1948, Takeshi Hongo is  a student at [[Johnan University]], majoring in biochemistry. In his free time, Hongo trained to become a professional motorcycle racer, coached by bike-trainer [[Tobee Tachibana]].
+During practice with Tachibana, he is attacked and captured by Shocker, who were attracted to Hongo's high IQ and amazing physical prowess. Within a week, Shocker converted him into a cybernetically enhanced soldier, done while Hongo was unconscious.
-Hongo is a young man who was kidnapped by the secret organization [[Shocker]] and forced to undergo a procedure that turns him into a super-powered cyborg, but escapes before he can be brainwashed to do Shocker's bidding, becoming the first Kamen Rider, fighting for humanity's freedom against the forces of Shocker. Each episode sees Hongo meeting another of Shocker's soldiers, interacting briefly with supporting characters, such as his mentor Tachibana Tobei, and ultimately defeating the enemy, often with trademark "Rider Kick" or "Rider Punch" attacks.
+Just before Hongo was brainwashed into serving Shocker, his associate [[Hiroshi Midorikawa|Dr. Hiroshi Midorikawa]] intervened, the two narrowly escaping. As a result, Shocker sends the [[Man Spider]] monster after them.
-However, the series was drastically altered during the filming of episode ten. Fujioka, while attempting to perform a stunt on his motorcycle, shattered his leg. The surrounding episodes were quickly edited or otherwise altered to account for this, but Fujioka's injury forced him to take a long-term hiatus from acting, so production company Toei hired a new actor, Takeshi Sasaki, to play a new Kamen Rider character, dubbed Kamen Rider 2. In the show, it was explained that Shocker had built a duplicate of their original Kamen Rider cyborg in an effort to combat the threat that Hongo posed to their organization. This new character was introduced in episode 14, as Hongo's character was gradually phased out as unused footage of Fujioka ran dry, a process that had been occurring since episode 11.
+[[File:KamenRiderFirstHenshin.png|thumb|Kamen Rider 1's first transformation]]
-By the time Fujioka had recovered from his injuries, ''Kamen Rider'' had become fairly successful, and Fujioka found other work, so Sasaki continued to portray the main character of the series until episode 49, when Fujioka returned to the series full-time. During this time, the two characters worked together as the "Double Riders", and Sasaki's character was eventually written out. By episode 53, through the end of the series with episode 98, Hongo was again the sole protagonist, but Ichimonji returned for guest spots intermittently, in episodes 72, 73, 93, 94, and the finale.
+While hiding, Doctor Midorikawa explains the situation to Hongo, much to his shock. Deciding to use his newfound powers for good, Hongo's spirit as a Kamen Rider is born. Immediately afterwards, Man Spider catches up with them and kills Doctor Midorikawa. In another stroke of misfortune,  Dr. Midorikawa's daughter, Ruriko witnessed his death, causing her to misunderstand the situation.
-== Personality ==
-Takeshi Hongo is a heroic and selfless man who is brave enough to fight against the odds and has a kind hearted soul that tries to help those in need of his assistance. Despite all the troubles he has faced against Shocker's (as well as other evil organizations that use brainwashed cyborgs) soldiers, he is aware of their misfortune and feels sorry for them knowing that he very well could have ended up like them, as well as feeling at least some hesitance at killing them.
-Although he is by far more human than most of Shockers experiments, he knows fully well of his less than human nature and initially expressed self-loathing until later in the series, where he accepted himself for who he is and gained a new form upon said acceptance. While originally somewhat distant to those around him aside from Tobei, Hongo does care deeply to the people that are close to him as he treated Taki and Ichimonji as his best friends and brothers. He also acted as an older sibling to his junior Kazami. Later on in the series as his character developed further, Hongo has become more lighter in terms of personality, and while he works just as hard to defeat his foes, has become much more cheerful. He also became more sociable than he initially was. This maturity has increased even more by V3's series as he mentored V3 as well and tried to protect him.
-== Biography ==
-===Battle against Shocker===
-[[File:KamenRiderFirstHenshin.png|thumb|Takeshi Hongo's first transformation]]
-Takeshi Hongo was a prodigy college biochemistry student at Jounan University's Biochemical Department, in which he also worked alongside [[Professor Midorikawa]]. Born on August 15, 1948, Hongo was a young man with an abnormal IQ of 600 as well as amazing physical prowess which attracted the attention of the secret organization Shocker, which planned to bring about a new order to the world, where artificially enhanced beings, both cybernetically and organically, stood at the top of the world. During his younger years, Hongo lost both his parents (his father was a shipwright and his mother was a teacher) thus making him have some tough times in his life until helped by Tachibana and others. Hongo enjoyed riding motorcycles, and during a practice, he ends up attacked and captured by Shocker`s minions. Hongo was turned into a cyborg by Shocker, but he isn't brainwashed, due to the intervention of Professor Midorikawa, who allows his escape. The Shocker monster Spider Man ([[Kumo Otoko]]), pursued them.
-Professor Midorikawa had been forced to work for Shocker, and was also the one who (unwillingly) recommended Hongo to them. He explains the situation to Hongo, who after breaking a faucet without even trying becomes mortified as he asks Midorikawa if he will remain like this until his death (tragically Hongo will presumably live much longer than a average human because of his cybernetic enhancements) which Midorikawa sadly confirmed. After deciding to use his new found powers for good Spider Man soon catches up with them and kills Professor Midorikawa, leading Ruriko Midorikawa, the professor's daughter who had just arrived there, to believe that it was Hongo who killed him. Spider Man immediately appears to kill both of them, knocking out Ruriko and taking her to use as a bait for Hongo. Hongo transforms, calling himself "Kamen Rider", while riding a customized bike made by the Tachibana Racing Club, the Cyclone. He catches up with Kumo Otoko, rescues Ruriko and kills Spider Man along with all of his Shocker cohorts. {{Storylink|The Mysterious Spider Man}}

He catches up with Man Spider, defeating him and his minions. With Man Spider defeated and Ruriko saved, Hongo feels a moment of relief. Knowing that Shocker will not be easily defeated though, he braces himself for the long battle to come. {{Storylink|The Eerie Man Spider}}
-Shortly afterwards, another Shocker member, [[Bat Man]], goes after Hongo. He implants a virus that transforms his victims into vampire-like creatures under his control. Ruriko is involved in the battle again, with the virus implanted in her blood, and, before she loses consciousness, Komori Otoko reveals to her that her father was killed for betraying Shocker. Hongo defeats Komori Otoko, and, using his own body, cures his victims. [[Tobei Tachibana]], from the Tachibana Racing Club, learns about what happened to Hongo and his battle against Shocker during these events and decides to support him. Meanwhile, Ruriko sees that Hongo wasn't the one who killed her father, and in fact, was fighting against the ones responsible for his death. However, she doesn't learn about his identity as Kamen Rider. {{Storylink|The Terrifying Bat Man}}

-Hongo and Tachibana together soon study the limits of Hongo's new body. Hongo tries to keep Ruriko away from the battle, hiding the modifications done to him and his identity as the Kamen Rider, in hopes of keeping her away from danger. He soon stumbles on an odd case about an old man, supposedly being taken for psychiatric treatment, while asking for help and mentioning Shocker. Suspicious of those events, Hongo soon goes in pursuit, rescuing the man. He was Mr.Ito, who had escaped from a Shocker base, but was immediately pursued in an attempt to stop Shocker's existence from being revealed to the world. Tachibana asked for Ruriko's help to protect Mr. Ito, alongside [[Goro Hayase]], Takeshi's old friend and rival in racing. However, Shocker troops soon surround them, and a strange scorpion kills Mr. Ito. Going in pursuit of the troops, Hongo and Hayase eventually get to a Shocker base, where Hayase reveals that he voluntarily joined Shocker and became a cyborg, Scorpion Man, in order to get a change to best Hongo. Hongo tries to reason with Hayase, who refuses to back down, and is forced to fight against and eventually kill him. {{Storylink|Monster, Scorpion Man}}

-Hongo goes on to fight against many of Shocker's creations, stopping their various plans. Takeshi also often spends his free time and coordinates his battle against Shocker with Tachibana in the "Snack Amigo", which is also frequented by Ruriko. Eventually, studying the various monsters defeated by Hongo, and combining their strongest traits, Shocker created [[Gebacondor]]. However, to awaken their superior creation, they needed to blood of young women, and, to obtain that, they start killing women who are about to marry in a certain chapel. Meanwhile, Kazuya Taki, winner of 1970's "All-Japan Championship" racing competition, another great rival of Hongo, sends a letter to the Snack Amigo, announcing his upcoming marriage, before the next tournament. Hongo had learned about the assassinations and was investigating them, and so he doesn't go to his friend's marriage. After the marriage of Kazuya and Yoko Taki, they're attacked by Shocker troops led by Gebacondor. Taki demonstrates an incredible fighting prowess against Shocker's troops, but Yoko is about to be taken, until Hongo arrives and fights as Kamen Rider to stop them. Taki rescues Yoko, but the Kamen Rider's attacks have little effect on Gebacondor, which ends up hitting Hongo with an attack which buries him underground. Gebacondor leaves, believing that he had killed the Rider. Gebacondor continues its attacks, this time not limited to the chapel. Tobei Tachibana prepares a plan involving a fake marriage to attract Shocker's attention, and Taki decides to help. When the Gebacondor reappears, so does Hongo, who recovered from his earlier defeat. However, he still couldn't match the new Shocker creation physically. Following Tachibana's words, however, he uses the Cyclone at max speed to run into Gebacondor, destroying it. {{Storylink|Bloodsucking Monster, Gebacondor}}

-Shocker revives the 11 monsters killed by the Kamen Rider, starting a large operation to invade the Toyo Atomic Energy Research Laboratory. However, Bat Man and Scorpion Man fail to break through the powerful electromagnetic wave barrier surrounding it. The Weapons Research Division, however, soon presents a Barrier Wrecking Ball. Shocker captures, modified and brainwashed the arrogant Soccer Player, [[Ken Nomoto]], creating the Tokageron, a powerful lizard monster. Taki returns to the Snack Amigo, wanting to contact Hongo, however, he yet again was focused on his battle against Shocker, already working to stop their newest operation. Ruriko and Taki also had their own suspicious and investigate by their own, following a suspicious car to a Shocker base. Ken Nomoto, now a brainwashed Shocker agent, convinces Taki to forget the investigation. However, he was preparing a surprise attack against them, causing a rock slide that wounds Taki. The Kamen Rider appears to face him, but he's also defeated. Hongo trains with Tachibana to become stronger, and the result is the creation of a more powerful Rider Kick, the '''Lightning Rider Kick'''.

-In spite of being wounded, Taki quickly goes back to his Shocker investigation. Tachibana finds an FBI badge left by Taki in the hospital, discovering his reason for involving himself in the battle against Shocker. Taki invades a secret base of Shocker, but Shocker's Great Leader welcomes him through audio-only communication, revealing that they also already knew his identity. He's surrounded by Shocker soldiers, but is saved by the Kamen Rider. Hongo returns to the Research Institute, where he faces all 12 cyborgs at once. Kamen Rider steals and uses the Wrecking Ball that was to be used to destroy the Lab's barrier to destroy the monster army itself. {{Storylink|Tokageron and the Big Monster Army}}

 ===International Battle===
-In spite of their international activities being mostly successful, Shocker's plans weren't progressing in Japan. After the previous attempts at killing Hongo, they decide to create a second Kamen Rider, superior to the original. However, Hongo uncovers their plan and rescues the subject before he's brainwashed. He was [[Hayato Ichimonji]], a freelancer cameraman, who decides to help in Hongo's battle against Shocker. Hongo leaves Japan in Hayato's hands, and travels overseas to fight against Shocker around the world. Ruriko Midorikawa also leaves with him, although eventually they part ways.

-Through accepting himself and various battles that strengthened him, Hongo gained a new form known as Sakurajima Ichigou which allowed him to fight more evenly against some of Shockers newer soldiers eventually leading him to [[Doctor Shinigami]], commander of Shocker's Swiss branch. He receives help from [[Emi]], a martial artist who also had skills in decrypting Shocker transmissions, and [[Mika]], a fortuneteller also able to use cards in combat. Shocker discovers about their operations and attempts to kill them, but they're saved by Hongo, who protects them as Kamen Rider. Hongo faces the powerful Shocker cyborg, [[Snowman]], but can't best him in combat. Emi discovers about a large Shocker operation to bring chaos in Japan through an artificial eruption of the Mount Kyushu volcano, with the participation of Doctor Shinigami himself. Hongo tells them to travel there and contact Hayato Ichimonji. Hongo also follows them to Japan, and soon joins Hayato Ichimonji. The two Riders, fighting together, destroy Snowman and move to stop Shocker's operation. {{Storylink|Deathmatch! Monster Snowman vs. Two Riders}}

-Shocker starts kidnapping many people in the area of Sakurajima to work in their operation, including the members of the Tachibana Racing Club. After finding a young boy whose mother was taken from him, Hongo leaves him under Ichimonji's protection while he goes on to face Shocker alone. [[Armadillong]] and [[Mogurang]], two Shocker cyborgs previously defeated by Hayato, are rebuilt and face Hongo, who manages to stop them, however, he soon has to face [[Ghoster]], Shocker's newest creation. Heat resistant and with an enormous strength it defeats Hongo Takeshi, who is captured by Shocker. Intending to proceed with their original plans for Hongo, Doctor Shinigami brainwashes him into becoming a loyal soldier of Shocker, and sends him to kill the second Kamen Rider. Hongo is sent to face Ichimonji and apparently kills him. With his mission done, Ghoster decides to kill Hongo, only to see Hayato getting up just fine. Their minds are linked, and can communicate doesn't matter the distance, as a result, the brainwashing had been undone. Hongo easily destroys [[Armadillong]] and, together, the Double Riders kill Ghoster, and free the people enslaved by Shocker. The Double Riders also go after Doctor Shinigami, but he escapes. Hongo leaves Emi and Mika in Japan, going back to Europe to continue fighting by himself. However, Doctor Shinigami stays leading Shocker's operations in Japan. {{Storylink|Magma Monster Ghoster, Decisive Battle at Sakurajima}}

[[Mukadetiger]], a centipede and tiger monster, brainwashed and kidnapped children around Japan. The Rider Squad headquarters receive a message addressed from a wasteland, and Hongo decides to investigate, alongside Taki. There, Mukadetiger shows that the Rider Squad children now are Gel-Shocker Scouts. Hongo avoids hurting them and faces Mukadetiger, but his '''Rider Kick''' is defeated by its '''Mukade Punch'''. When Taki returns to the base after battle, he soon notices that Tachibana and everyone else had been brainwashed. Taki himself also is poisoned and can't do anything. Hongo is found and rescued by a Rider Squad member that hadn't been brainwashed alongside his sister, Yumi. However, Gel-Shocker soon attacks them, and, using him as a hostage, forces Yumi to give Hongo's location. Mukadetiger burns Hongo's hideout, which explodes, but the hot wind makes the typhoon belt spin, transforming him and saving his life. Regretful for her actions, Yumi looks at the destroyed cabin in desolation, but Kamen Rider appears and tells her that her actions weren't wrong. Peace and justice aren't as important as human life. He promises that he'd save her brother and leaves to face Mukadetiger again. The Kamen Rider invades the Gel-Shocker school and takes on Mukadetiger.

They start fighting, but soon General Black interrupts them, revealing that it was just a training session for the [[Shocker Rider Number 1|Shocker Rider]]. Their goal is to eliminate the [[Anti-Shocker Alliance]] before they can join with the Rider Squad. Gel-Shocker's computers detect that the Anti-Shocker Alliance have information regarding the Great Leader's real identity, and move to destroy it. Tobei Tachibana is contacted by the Anti-Shocker Alliance, and meets their leader, [[Seichiro Komura]]. Seichiro tells Tobei about how they're a worldwide organization, and many members have personal grudges against Shocker, like how his son had been killed by them, while his assistant, who contacted Tobei, [[Ishigami Chie]], had lost her mother. Their compute had obtained information about the identity of the Leader of Gel-Shocker and wanted to give it to the Kamen Rider. The Shocker Rider appears in the Rider Squad base, speaking with Hongo's voice, and assuring them that he was fine and would obtain the information.

Meanwhile, Ishigami Chie was attacked by Haetoribachi, who tells her that he knew where to find her because they had given the information to the Kamen Rider, their ally. However, she's rescued in the last moment by Takeshi Hongo, who was still alive. He transforms into Kamen Rider and rescues Ishigami, allowing Haetoribachi to escape. The original Kamen Rider notices that there must be a Shocker Rider identical to him, and promises her that he'd stop it. Tachibana and Taki meet the Shocker Rider, who, mimicking Hongo's voice, refuses to give them the Anti-Shocker Alliance's data about the Great Leader and attacks them both. However, soon the original Rider returns and steals the data. The Shocker Rider drops the voice change, and fights against the original Kamen Rider. They're perfectly matched, and the Shocker Rider even has his own Cyclone. However, soon the Shocker Rider reveals his own tricks, like a blade build into his leg, that could be detached and wielded as a knife. Haetoribachi reappears, and, fighting alongside the Shodker Rider, easily defeats the original one, who's left hanging on rocks to avoid falling into the sea. {{Storylink|Atrocity!

-The original Kamen Rider grabs onto Haetoribachi's leg, falling and disappearing into the sea with it. The Shocker Rider commemorates the original Riders' death, proclaiming himself the only Kamen Rider now. The Shocker Rider attempts to destroy the data about the Great Leader, but he's stopped by [[Eidokugar]], a  batoidea/poisonous moth monster. There was a change of plans, and Gel-Shocker wanted the information, while they should give a false device to the Anti-Shocker Alliance that would kill them all. Taki and Tachibana approach the battle's location and receive the false suitcase, while the Shocker Rider and Haetoribachi act like they're fighting against each other. The Shocker Rider claims that the false Rider has been destroyed, when a group of Gel-Shocker soldiers appears. He tells Tachibana and Taki to take the suitcase, while he'd stay behind. The Great Leader receives the Anti-Shocker Alliance data and tells General Black to analyze it to understand the scale of their organization. However, it turns out that they had obtained false data. The Great Leader decides that the Anti-Shocker Alliance must be immediately destroyed. The Shocker Rider, mimicking Hongo's voice, returns to the Anti-Shocker Alliance base, and warns them about the bomb in the device they had received. He tells them to leave the base and activates the bomb, although it does no damage to himself. Hayato Ichimonji arrives with the real data, but the Shocker Rider insists on getting it. Hayato wonders about that yellow muffler and soon his drops his guise and they fight. Hayato destroys the Shocker Cyclone, seemingly alongside the Shocker Rider and recovers the suitcase with the data. However, soon afterwards, a Rider with a white scarf and Hongo's voice appears in the Rider Squad base. It was actually the [[Shocker Rider Number 2]], alongside Eidokugar, who proceed to kidnap the children and women left in the base. Hongo returns, and transformed into Kamen Rider, faces Eidokugar and Shocker Rider 2, but he's knocked out by Shocker Rider 2 and the hostages are taken away. Soon afterwards, Ichimonji, Taki and Tachibana find a wounded Hongo. General Black contacts them, using the hostages to obtain the computer data in the hands of the Anti-Shocker Alliance. Seichiro Komura refuses to handle the data to them, saying that they need to look at the bigger picture, but Ishigami Chie gives them the suitcase with the data device, asking them to carry on the revenge for her mother. Hongo recovers and goes alongside Hayato and Ichimonji for the negotiations. They give the suitcase to an helicopter, but they don't give the hostages, and so Taki grabs onto a cord following it. Meanwhile, Shocker Riders Number 1 and Number 2 reappear, quickly followed by four others, [[Shocker Rider Number 3]], [[Shocker Rider Number 4]], [[Shocker Rider Number 5]] and [[Shocker Rider Number 6]].

They jump to the helicopter and immobilize Eidokugar, recovering the suitcase. Seichiro decides to lock the data device into a safe to keep it away from Gel-Shocker. Eidokugar is captured, but remains in complete silence, not giving any information.  Meanwhile, Tachibana decides to train Hongo and Ichimonji to develop a new technique against the Shocker Riders. [[Namekujikinoko]] is sent as General Black's last ace in the mission. He kills Seichiro Komura and possesses his body. At the same time, Eidokugar starts moving again, breaking from his prison and killing agents of the Anti-Shocker Alliance. Gel-Shocker soldiers appear and possess their bodies too. However, Hongo's presence stopped them from acting openly. The data finally  is seemingly analyzed, revealing that Gel-Shocker's leader's hideout is in Japan and giving its coordinates. Dokugar appears and tries to stop the Rider Squad and Anti-Shocker Alliance members from heading there, but Rider 1 and 2 together destroy it. They head into the Gel-Shocker hideout, but it was a trap, false information planted into the Anti-Shocker Alliance's computer to trap the two Kamen Riders and kill all of their enemies. Komura reappears, holding Chie as a hostage, and reveals the real Komura is dead, and he's actually Namekujikinoko. Taki rescues Chie and the Riders start their counterattack. The 2 Riders are surrounded by the Shocker Riders, and, although they can beat them individually, as a group the Shocker Riders still are stronger. However, they use the '''Rider Wheel''' - running in circles and jumping to create a destrutive force that pushed the Shocker Riders against each other, exploding them. Afterwards, with a '''Rider Double Kick''', they quickly destroyed Namekujikinoko. Afterwards, Ichimonji leaves to continue fighting abroad. {{Storylink|The True Identity of the Gel-Shocker Leader}}

The man attempts to hold the monster, while the girl escapes. She soon runs into boys from the Rider Squad, who report the Gel-Shocker sighting. Meanwhile, using human life force absorbed by Hiruchamelon, the Gel-Shocker scientists were able to ressurect Ganikomol, and planned to bring even more of them back to life. Hongo and Taki find a Gel-Shocker base close to the place reported by the Rider Squad and infiltrate it, disguising themselves as Gel-Shocker soldiers. Entering there, they find Ganikomol. Kamen Rider 1 beats it easily enough this time, but it wasn't the monster reported by the kids, which suggested that there was something else out there. Meanwhile, Ganikomol studies Hongo's transformation and how to stop it. Prisoners escape from Gel-Shocker's base, but are both killed before escaping. Later that night, Hongo is attacked by Hiruchameleon, who disappears after his surprise attack fails. However, he's followed by Rider 1, who fights against him briefly before it escapes. Right after the battle, a man who claims to have escaped from a Gel-Shocker base meets Hongo. He tells the Rider Squad the location and takes Hongo and Taki there, but as soon as they leave the base, Tachibana and the other members are struck and left unconscious by Gel-Shocker. Taki is attacked by their guide, while Hongo is caught into a trap. Their guide was actually Ganikomoru himself, mimicking one of the dead prisoners. Hiruchameleon uses all of the Rider Squad as hostages against Hongo, telling that their life will be used for monsters.

General Black's voice comes from Hiruchameleon himself, who leads them to that trap and reveals itself to be General Black himself. However, to his surprise, the two Riders were already expecting that. Hongo and Hayato go after General Black, while Taki tells them that he'll handle the monsters, which escape in a truck. Hiruchameleon can't keep up with the Riders, and attempts to escape by using his invisibility. However, Rider 1 and 2 sense his presence and hit him with a double chop, which finishes off the Gel-Shocker commander. Taki catches up with the monsters, just to be captured. Using a digital voice mimicking Taki's, the Great Leader sends Rider 1 and 2 towards Gel-Shocker's headquarters. They're surrounded by the Gel-Shocker monster troops, but managed to destroy all of them once again. Afterwards, the Rider Squad members are used by the Great Leader as hostages, and the Riders run through a minefield to reach them. The Riders seemingly fall, only to surprise the Great Leader by appearing in his command room. The Great Leader was covered by a mantle, and Rider 2 grabs it, only to reveal a head full of snakes. Promising to send them to hell for destroying Gel-Shocker, the Riders are hit by powerful waves of energy, but managed to run through them and grab the Great Leader's head, and pulling the sneaks, only to reveal a palid featureless cyclops undernearth. The Great Leader tells thems that this is the end of Gel-Shocker, and they'll all die together, before falling on the ground just as the explosions start. Hayato notices the Great Leader's supposedly real form fallen on the ground, and attempts to approach it, but when they're about to do that the explosions just increase and the entire underground headquarters, and even the lake above it, explode.

He takes the coffee's remains to be analyzed by Takeshi Hongo, who concludes that it's Tibetan poison. Later, Hongo talks with Tobee Tachibana about the possibility of some organization marking witnesses of their activities for death. Shortly afterward, Shiro, who was practicing in the Tachibana Racing Club, is hit by an explosion. Hongo goes to rescue him and soon is joined by Hayato, who is called by Tachibana to help. Hongo leaves Hayato to take care of Shiro, and then heads out to find the source of the explosion. He finds a macabre procession, where people covered in black robes are muttering the word "Destron". They leave flowers next to a cross, with "Grave of Takeshi Hongo" written there. Shiro is sent by Hayato in an ambulance, but when Hongo arrives, so does a second ambulance. Realizing the first one was fake, they go after Shiro, who just suffered another attempt against his life. Hongo then decides to keep a close eye on Shiro to protect him from any further threats. Later that day, Shiro tells the Racing Club Members about how he had saved the life of a woman, [[Junko Tama]], and Hayato concludes that she likely was attacked because she saw something too, warning Shiro about his family as well. Hongo heads out there right after Shiro, arriving just after [[Hasami Jaguar]] killed his entire family and was about to finish off Shiro and Junko. Hongo transforms into Kamen Rider 1, revealing his identity to Shiro, who recognizes the Kamen Rider, and defeats the black-clad Destron soldiers, while Hasami Jaguar escapes. Kamen Rider 2 soon joins him and both mourn the loss of Shiro's family. They sadly see what their mistakes have cost and become determined to stop Destron's ambitions. Shiro then begs them to turn him into a Kamen Rider for vengeance, but the Double Riders tell him that revenge is not the right way, and that life as a cyborg is a burden in which one is human yet also inhuman, and it should only be carried by the two of them.

-Rider 1 and 2 leave V3 to defend the Rider Squad's headquarters while they take on Turtle Bazooka. Meanwhile, Hongo gives instructions to V3 while he battles through long range communication. Shiro Kazami is told about the 26 secrets in his body, special abilities that give him various advantages. In the same way, when V3 learns that Turtle Bazooka had an atomic bomb in his body that was about to be used to destroy Tokyo, he warns the Double Riders. The Double Riders quickly reach Turtle Bazooka, but presumably due to to adding a portion of their powers to V3 (which may have temporarily weakened them), they were unable to stop him. Deciding to protect the city at all costs, they charge up their maximum energy together, releasing an energy blast that stuns Turtle Bazooka for a moment. Then they grab him and jump with enormous strength, launching themselves towards the sea while holding onto Turtle Bazooka. They keep holding onto it, until the bomb explodes over the sea. V3 watches the explosion, screaming for Hongo and Ichimonji. The two Riders talk with V3 telepathically, telling V3 that they won't die, but, for now, everything will rest in his hands. {{Storylink|Last Testament of the Double Riders}}

+== Other events ==
+Initially, the events of Kamen Rider were supposed to have ended with Kamen Rider Stronger, hence the 4 year hiatus. However, Toei eventually decided to renew the franchise with Kamen Rider (Skyrider), originally planned to be a reboot<ref>''Kodansha Edition "Kamen Rider [tel:1971-1984&#x20;10 1971-1984 10] Showa Riders Revived with Treasured Photos and First Public Materials" Kodansha, November 20, 2014''</ref>. By popular demand, Hongo and the others were introduced into the story, turning it into a sequel.
-The evil organization [[Neo-Shocker]] moved ahead with its plans of global genocide to create a new world order. Hongo Takeshi, Kamen Rider 1, alongside the other [[Seven Legendary Riders]] fight around the world against it, leaving Japan's protection to the new Kamen Rider, Hiroshi Tsukuba, [[Skyrider]]. Eventually, Neo-Shocker gathers an army of Second Generation Cyborgs in Japan, led by [[Gurand Bazarmy]], known as the Strongest Cyborg on Earth, and also plans to launch a direct offensive with an experimental tank, the ''Varithium Cannon'', led by [[Hirubiran]]. To save Japan, the seven Riders return and, alongside Skyrider, destroy the experimental Varithium Cannon and Hirubiran. However, they are soon challenged by Gurand Bazarmy and his troops. {{Storylink|Tank and Kaijin the Second Generation Corps, Full Force of Eight Riders}}
+===[[Kamen Rider (Skyrider)]]===
-Neo-Shocker troops start kidnapping many people around Japan in order to work as slaves in their operation to bring about a large volcanic eruption in Japan. The seven Riders spread around Japan to fight against various attacks from Neo-Shocker. Rider 1, Rider 2 and Amazon intercept the troops led by the second generation cyborgs [[Jaguar Van]], [[Shibirayjin]], [[Gokiburijin]], [[Madarakajin]] and [[Dokuganba]]. Rider 1 faces [[Shibirayjin]], but soon the battle is interrupted by Gurand Bazarmy's arrival. Gurand Bazarmy challenges the three Riders to fight against him by himself, while the other cyborgs continue taking the people away. Moving with great speed, it easily dodges Amazon's ''Great Slice'' and the Double Riders' ''Rider Double Kick'', before disappearing with an incredible speed. In a later battle, [[Skyrider]] is easily wounded and left unconscious while trying to face Gurand Bazarmy. While he recovers, the Riders communicate telepathically with the unconscious [[Hiroshi Tsukuba]]. Rider 1 watches his determination to fight again, in spite of his defeat, and tells him that he expected no less from Skyrider. The Riders tell Skyrider that he should go through an intense training where he'd receive their powers, multiplying his strength 20 times to fight against Gurand Bazarmy again.

-When Shocker's new kaijin [[Dokusasori Otoko]] began threatening the Tokyo's citizens, Kamen Rider 1 soon mounted his bike and took down the road into action as [[Ultraman]] flew overhead to confront the kaiju [[Gadoras]], who was also ravaging the city at the same time. Kamen Rider confronted Dokusasori-Otoko, battling the demon with a flurry of martial arts, blocking his strikes and fighting back with his own. However, Dokusasori-Otoko grabbed the masked hero with his claw and sprayed him with his gas, but Kamen Rider broke free and leapt to a nearby building, leaping off and dealing his signature Rider Kick!
+When Shocker's new monster [[Poison Scorpion Man]] began threatening Tokyo's citizens, Kamen Rider 1 mounts his bike and takes down the road into action as [[Ultraman]] flies overhead to confront the kaiju [[Gadras]], who was also ravaging the city at the same time. Kamen Rider confronts Dokusasori-Otoko, battling the demon with a flurry of martial arts, blocking his strikes and fighting back with his own. However, Dokusasori-Otoko grabs the masked hero with his claw and sprays him with his gas, but Kamen Rider breaks free and leaps to a nearby building to deliver his signature Rider Kick!
-Dokusasori-Otoko was badly hurt, but then merged with Gadorasu to form [[Sasori Gadoras]] and attacked Ultraman, Kamen Rider dodging an explosion from its horn lightning. Kamen Rider watched the creature attack Ultraman and realized the Ultra hero wasn’t strong enough to defeat the hybrid kaiju alone. Kamen Rider used the Cyclone, dodging several of Sasorigadorasu’s assaults before flying the machine straight through the monster’s shoulder, then grew to giant size for the first time ever to aid Ultraman. Ultraman then used his force field while Kamen Rider used the Rider Punch to shatter the horn but was forced back by its tail, which Ultraman quickly removed with an Ultra Slash. The two heroes charged and grabbed Sasorigadorasu, giving him a double Suplex. As Ultraman’s timer began to blink, the two heroes nodded to one another, Kamen Rider leaping into the air and coming down with the Rider Kick as Ultraman fired the Specium Ray, both finishing attacks strike Sasori Gadoras simultaneously and destroying him in a huge explosion.

-Afterwards, he battles various Shocker Kaijin just like in the TV series, but he soon faces 12 Shocker Riders. He was subsequently killed but 1 of the 12, named Hayato Ichimonji, receives a head injury that causes him to regain his memories and personality from before his brainwashing. Hayato destroys all 11 Shocker Riders and becomes Kamen Rider by reprising Hongo's role during his absence. Hongo then acts as Ichimonji's mentor through connecting his brain to Ichimonji. Near the end of the manga story, Hongo is resurrected by transplanting his brain into a Kamen Rider body designed to be more powerful and returns to battle alongside with Hayato to confront Big Machine, Shocker's Commander. Although it seemed Big Machine had the edge because of his ability to stop machinery from functioning, Hongo prevails as he defeats Big Machine. They then destroy his super computer he planned to use to brainwash the citizens of Japan. It is unknown what happened to Hongo after escaping with Ichimonji and Taki, although it`s seems safe to presume that Hongo managed to survive.

To Shadow Moon's shock, his godlike powers proved insufficent for victory, with his defeat sealed by Hongo and Takeru's Double Rider Kick.

+[[File:Takeshi Goon.jpg|thumb|Hongo as he appears in a live-action promotional video for the game.]]
-Even from the start, Hongo Takeshi was a greatly gifted man. He not only has the skills of a pro bike racer, but is a brilliant scientist that could even turn Kazami into V3 along with being very adept at sports. His racing skills were enough to rival Taki as a human and far surpassed Ichimonji. Hongo is also a great teacher as he along with Tobei coached Kazami (something that would help Kazami when he became V3) at bike racing. He also has great leadership skills as shown when he leads his successors in battle against the forces of evil and triumphs against them.
+Sensing the re-emergence of the [[Shocker]] army, Hongo chooses [[Go Owaza]] and [[Shun Rikido]] to become a new generation of Double Riders, equipping them with upgraded Typhoon belts to transform into the new Riders 1 and 2 respectively.
+{{-}}
+==Personality==
-After becoming a Kamen Rider, his already impressive skills were boosted greatly. His body surpassed most of Shocker`s minions at the time, as well as managed to fight and defeat Shocker soldiers that were designed to be more powerful than him, and often times trained if his skills weren't enough to defeat such opponents. In a later Kamen Rider episode, Hongo Takeshi managed to fight and easily defeat not only Ganikomol (an opponent that Hongo couldn't initially defeat and won partially by luck) but multiple cyborgs that he also had trouble with, showing how much his skills and power have improved throughout the series. It is thinkable that his years of experience makes him one of the, if not the most skilled Kamen Rider in the franchise.
+Takeshi Hongo is a cordial man with a strong sense of heroism. As both Tachibana and Taki note, Hongo can also be somewhat peculiar and innocently childish at times, hence his great enthusiasm for bike racing and biochemistry. Despite his immense intelligence, he prefers to act casual in general, hanging out and cracking jokes with friends regularly.
+When converted into a cyborg, Hongo initially felt greatly desolate, horrified at the idea of being a "monster". From his friends' support though, Hongo gradually overcame his despair, becoming noticeably more cheerful. Since then, Hongo matured significantly, even becoming a mentor for the Rider Squad.
-==Kamen Rider 1==
+As the first Kamen Rider, Hongo readily looks out for his successors, leading them in their shared crusade for justice. Aware of the hardships that can follow as a hero, Hongo will assist them when needed, in hopes that they reach their full potential. Furthermore, he will show mercy to foes if possible, to the point of outright saving them<ref>''[[Jigoku Taishi!! The Terrifying True Form?]]''</ref>.
+The manga version of Hongo by Shotaro Ishinomori is more stoic in attitude, having been raised by a wealthy household. To an even greater extent than the TV version, he is also troubled as a cyborg, acting somber for the most part. In spite of this, Hongo remains dedicated in his crusade against Shocker, vowing to stop their nefarious ways. Even after his body was fatally wounded, he chose to continue supporting Hayato via mind link, usually tempering the latter's impulsiveness. After restored into a new cyborg body, Hongo triumphantly returned as Kamen Rider 1, assisting Ichimonji and Taki against Big Machine's forces.
+Since the Heisei era, Hongo is portrayed as a hot-blooded individual; a sharp contrast to his initial calm and mellow demeanor. He will often speak in a rather dramatic manner, normally in the form of heroic speeches.
+In ''Kamen Rider Gaim'' though, Hongo is portrayed as a callous individual. Deriding emotional attachments as detrimental, Hongo suddenly denies the Heisei Riders as worthy heroes, believing them to be a danger if left unchecked. Upon witnessing Gaim sacrificing himself for a single flower, Hongo retracts his previous statement, admitting defeat in their battle and accepting the Heisei Riders as true Kamen Riders.
+In ''Kamen Rider Ghost'', Hongo has an enigmatic attitude. Feeling guilty for neglecting Mayu, Hongo promised her to stop fighting as a Kamen Rider, refusing to help Ghost and Specter, despite the countless lives at stake. However, upon learning of Mayu's connection to the Alexander Eyecon, Hongo musters his remaining strength to protect her, losing his life in the process. Upon his miraculous revival, Hongo's fighting spirit is fully reignited, allowing him to defeat Nova Shocker.
+==Powers and Abilities==
+===Powers===
+*'''Artificially Enhanced Physiology''': Hongo has superhuman abilities augmented far beyond the most gifted athletes. With each battle, Hongo continues to grow stronger, possessing unlimited potential.
+**'''Hyper Strength''': In human form, Hongo can break apart metal objects in an instant. By transforming into Kamen Rider 1, Hongo damaged Shocker's armored bus, severely wounded Shadow Moon with a Rider Punch, and finished off the godlike Creation King through a Double Rider Kick.
+**'''Hyper Durability''': Hongo has easily withstood oxygen deprivation, absolute zero freezing, a nuclear bomb, and an explosion which blasted him into outer space.
+**'''Light Speed Reflexes''':  Hongo can react to dangers that move at the speed of light, skillfully dodging Owl Man's x-ray eye beams in their battle.
+**'''Appearance Duplication''': Like Shocker's other cyborgs, Hongo possesses the ability to change his appearance into other individuals.
+**'''Mind Link:''' From their similar cyborg designs, Hongo is able to telepathically link with Ichimonji and/or Kazami; said link powerful enough to undo Shocker's brainwashing.
+**'''Instant Healing''': Through receiving a strong gust of wind, Hongo can recover from any physical injuries.
+*'''Rider Synchro/Syndrome''': By combining his might with other Kamen Riders, Hongo can somehow warp reality itself.
+===Abilities===
+*'''Genius-Level Intellect''': Hongo has an IQ of 600, with his expertise being biochemistry. Some of his most impressive feats include: creating antidotes for rare and exotic poisons, co-designing the New Cyclone, and converting Shiro Kazami into Kamen Rider V3.
+*'''Exceptional Leadership''': As the first Kamen Rider, Hongo normally takes command when fighting alongside his successors, providing not only insight and wisdom, but also strategy and tact to outwit their foes.
+*'''Expert Detective''': In contrast to his somewhat eccentric nature, Hongo displays surprising focus when investigating Shocker's activities, using given clues to figure out their secret plans. If required, Hongo will go undercover to spy on his foes, disguising himself to fool others.
+*'''Mastery of motorbike racing/driving''': Since he was trained by Tachibana, Hongo is an excellent bike racer. When transformed into Kamen Rider 1, Hongo swiftly defeated several Shocker Combatmen on their own modified bikes. Among the Kamen Riders, Hongo's racing technique may very well be the best.
+*'''Master Combatant''': Befitting his title as "First Rider", Hongo is essentially unmatched in pure skill. In ''Kamen Rider Stronger'', Hongo easily overwhelmed several of the Delzer Army's generals in combat, despite their powers alone rivaling Stronger in Charge-Up Form.
+*'''Weapon Mastery''': While normally a hand-to-hand fighter, Hongo is also a master weapon user, usually stealing weapons from [[Shocker Combatmen]] and using them to his advantage.

Even when he wasn't fully transformed, this form was strong enough to withstand a 100 thousand volt electric shock.

-Unlike in his later forms, Takeshi can't transform automatically in this form, needing external wind to jump start the Typhoon's turbine and give him access to his suit and most of his fighting strength. That wind is generally generated by riding his bike, but it also can come from other sources, like an explosion that pushes hot wind towards the Typhoon belt.

-==Transforming==
+==Transformation==
-Kamen Rider 1 uses the power of the wind to fight. To transform, Hongo originally speed on his motorcycle, Cyclone, and leaps into the air, creating wind-pressure against his Typhoon belt. The pressure spins the wheel in the center of his belt which then activates the micro-nuclear engine and allows him to transform.

The pressure spins the wheel in the center of his belt which then activates the micro-nuclear engine and allows him to transform.
-Later on as he grew more powerful he learned to transform by absorbing the wind by himself (although he can still use any source of wind generated outside of his powers) thus getting rid of a major weakness. Like Kamen Riders 2 and V3, Hongo has a crippling weakness to the cold and can't transform properly when hit by sub-zero coldness as shown in episode 98 of his series.

 The "old" Rider did not have a shout or a pose when he transforms.

-In his upgraded forms, Hongo shouts and throws his right arm at a diagonal to his right then rotates it clockwise until it’s a diagonal to his left, then he retracts it to his waist and thrusts out his left arm at a diagonal to his right. After that pose Hongo leaps into the air where the wind-pressure activates his transformation.

-With the '''Kamen Ride: 1''' card, [[Tsukasa Kadoya|Kamen Rider Decade]] transforms into Kamen Rider 1 as seen in ''{{TK|Super Hero Taisen}}''. Previously, in ''[[All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker]]'', Decade Complete Form Jumbo Formation performed the Final Dimension Kick, a variation of the Dimension Kick, transforming the Shōwa, including Kamen Rider 1, and Heisei Riders into Kamen Ride cards for Decade to travel through as opposed to Final Attack Ride cards before hitting the target. Unlike his other Kamen Rides, Decade's Decadriver changes along with his costume, taking on the appearance of the Typhoon Belt. However, when Captain Marvelous (as Akarenger) strikes the "Typhoon" during battle, it seems to short out and changes back into the Decadriver, revealing "Rider 1" to be Decade after all.

+==Relationships==
+=== Allies ===
 *Showa
+**Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider 2: After being rescued from Shocker by Hongo, Ichimonji becomes his replacement to fight Shocker in Japan. Since Hongo's return, the two worked together to stop Shocker and its successors. The two are the best of friends and have fought together since 1971.
-**In series:
+** Tobee Tachibana: Hongo sees Tachibana as his mentor and father-figure. Having lost his family members in a car accident, Tachibana also sees Hongo as a son. Among all the Kamen Riders, Hongo is undoubtedly the closest to Tachibana.
-***Hayato Ichimonji: After saving him before being brainwashed, Hayato become the trusted partner to defend Japan while Takeshi left to USA. After Takeshi's return, Hayato become the important duo for Takeshi to fight Shocker and the rest of any evil organization.
+**Kazuya Taki: Hongo's other best friend, Taki was originally his rival at bike racing. The two have great trust in each other, with Taki having helped Hongo many times.
-***Tobei Tachibana: The mentor and the creator of Ride Machine for Takeshi. He is also a best friend and after Takeshi's leaving from Japan for a very long time, Tobei presents Takeshi with his latest upgraded Cyclone.
+**Shiro Kazami/Kamen Rider V3: Hongo's junior at Johnan University, he is made into Kamen Rider V3 through the combined efforts of Kamen Riders 1 and 2. The two are very close friends, with Hongo referring to Kazami as a brother at one point.
-***Mayu Tachibana: Mayu and Takeshi somehow have a relationship like father and daughter despite she is Tobei's granddaughter.
+*Other Kamen Riders: Throughout the series, Hongo interacts with all of the Kamen Riders, acting as a leader, mentor, and partner, helping them to become better, stronger heroes.
-**Other series:
-***Shiro Kazami: His first junior and the only Kamen Rider he made by his own alongside Hayato. Shiro later become his most trusted junior in leading the next generation of Showa riders.
-***Other Showa Riders: As the series goes, Takeshi meets all Showa riders at some point (except Daisuke Yamamoto off screen) and always leading them to become stronger.
-*Heisei
-**Tsukasa Kadoya: It is unknown how they truly meet. But Takeshi and Tsukasa somehow have the strongest bound as the respective lead of their rider's era as shown in Heisei vs Showa Rider
-**Kouta Kazuraba: Takeshi at first disliked Kouta due to him alongside the other users of Ryoma's Sengoku driver calling themselves Armored Riders instead of Kamen Riders and not protecting the city properly. But after his test, he respects Kouta as the 15th Heisei Kamen Rider.
-**Takeru Tenkuji: At first, he thought that Takeru is a selfish person to fight so he can be revived again and testing him. But after seeing the way of Takeru's fighting, he respects Takeru and so the next generation of Heisei Kamen Rider to protect humanity's freedom.
-**Makoto Fukami: His relationship to Makoto is not as deep as Takeru. But thanks to Makoto, Takeshi was able to learn Takeru better.
-==Behind the scenes==
+=== Enemies ===
+* '''Great Leader''': Hongo and the Great Leader feel great enmity toward one another, given their history as archenemies. To taunt Hongo, the Great Leader usually addresses him as "Hongo-kun", barring cases when genuinely furious.
+* '''Dr.''' '''Shinigami''': Dr. Shinigami views Hongo as a "punk", being extremely annoyed by his actions as Kamen Rider 1. However, Dr. Shinigami has also admitted Hongo to be a powerful enemy, a sentiment which Hongo shares as well.
+*'''Ambassador Hell''': Alongside Dr. Shinigami, Ambassador Hell was Shocker's greatest admin, thus making him one of Hongo's most deadly foes.
+*'''General Black''': General Black proved a nigh-equal for Hongo in strategy, having regularly matched wits. After their final battle, Hongo acknowledged General Black and Shocker's admins as "true warriors", impressed by their prowess and sense of dedication.
+==Behind the Scenes==
 ===Portrayal===
-Takeshi Hongo was played by {{nihongo|[[Hiroshi Fujioka]]|藤岡 弘、|Fujioka Hiroshi}} in the original ''[[Kamen Rider]]''. Originally, Hiroshi Fujioka [[suit actor|did his own stunts]] as Kamen Rider 1. This made ''Kamen Rider'' history when early on in the show, Hiroshi shattered his leg in a motorcycle stunt gone wrong. This resulted in him being replaced by [[Takeshi Sasaki]], who played [[Hayato Ichimonji]]/Kamen Rider 2. Eventually, Hiroshi recovered returned to the show, joining Takeshi as the [[Double Riders]].
+Takeshi Hongo is portrayed by {{nihongo|[[Hiroshi Fujioka]]|藤岡 弘、|Fujioka Hiroshi}}, who originally had performed his own stunts for Kamen Rider 1 until he shattered his leg in a motorcycle stunt gone wrong. The injury forced him to take a long-term hiatus from acting, and [[Takeshi Sasaki]] was brought on to replace Fujioka as [[Hayato Ichimonji]]. Unused footage of Fujioka would be used to gradually phase out Hongo and fully establish Hayato as the new protagonist. After Fujioka recovered and the show becoming a moderate success, the story wrote in his return and he reprised his role alongside Sasaki's as the [[Double Riders]] in time for several finale episodes. After the conclusion of the original series, Fujioka reprised his role in both ''[[Kamen Rider V3]]'' and  ''[[Kamen Rider Stronger]]'', with archived footage of him being utilized in ''[[Five Riders vs. Kingdark]]'' while he provided new voice lines.
+Since then, Hongo had been voiced by several replacements as Fujioka had been unable to reprise the role in some capacity:
-After the conclusion of the original series, Hiroshi reprised his role in the next, ''[[Kamen Rider V3]]''. Unlike many of his fellow Rider actors however, Hiroshi did not actively reprise the role of Hongo Takeshi whenever Kamen Rider 1 appeared in following Kamen Rider series, the lone exception being his appearance in ''[[Kamen Rider Stronger]]''. Stock footage of Hiroshi from the original ''Kamen Rider'' series was often used to portray Hongo, many times using the incorrect white Henshin belt. In recent crossover movies, early riders are voiced by new actors, with Kamen Rider 1 being voiced by {{nihongo|[[Tetsu Inada]]|稲田 徹|Inada Tetsu}}, first voicing the rider in ''[[Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker]]'' (2009). However, in 2011, Hiroshi returned to voice Kamen Rider 1 in the 40th anniversary movie of the ''[[Kamen Rider Series]]'', ''[[OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders]]'', alongside Takeshi Sasaki and [[Hiroshi Miyauchi]]. In ''[[Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max]]'' (2011), ''{{TK|Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen}}'' (2012), ''{{TK|Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z}}'' (2013) and ''{{TK|Ressha Sentai ToQger Vs. Kamen Rider Gaim Spring Vacation Combining Special}}'' (2014), Kamen Rider 1 was once again voiced by Tetsu Inada.
-It would be many years later that [[Hiroshi Fujioka]] would return to portray his own character, as well as transforming into him in ''[[Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai]]'', followed by in ''[[Kamen Rider 1 (movie)|Kamen Rider 1]]'', the 45th anniversary movie of the Kamen Rider Series.
+*[[Michihiro Ikemizu]] (who voiced many monsters, including [[Shocker Rider #1]] in the original series) voiced Kamen Rider 1 in [[The New Kamen Rider]], [[Kamen Rider Super-1: The Movie]] and [[Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!]]. [[Rintarō Torii]] voiced Kamen Rider 1 in Kamen Rider Black RX.
+* In recent crossover films, [[Tetsu Inada]] voiced the character in ''[[Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker]]'', ''[[Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max]]'', ''{{TK|Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen}}'', ''{{TK|Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z}}'', and ''{{TK|Ressha Sentai ToQger Vs. Kamen Rider Gaim Spring Vacation Combining Special}}''.
+Fujioka provided a voice role of the character in ''[[OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders]]'', and returned to a physical reprisal in ''[[Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai]]'', followed by ''[[Kamen Rider 1 (film)|Kamen Rider 1]]'', and most recently in ''{{TK|Kamen Rider Saber ＋ Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki}}''. The same year as Superhero Senki, Fujioka's son [[Maito Fujioka|Maito]] portrayed the role in Hongo's younger appearances in ''[[Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations]]''.
+===Cultural Recognition===
+''Kamen Rider'' is featured as '''#27''' in the 1986 archive compilation video ''{{TK|Toei 100 Great Heroes Super Fight}}''.
+He first appeared in ''[[Kamen Rider]]'', the first installment in the long-running ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' franchise of tokusatsu programs. Each episode sees Hongo meeting another of Shocker's soldiers, interacting with supporting characters (such as his mentor, [[Tobee Tachibana]]), and ultimately defeating the enemy, often with the trademark "Rider Kick" or "Rider Punch" attacks.
+The primary protagonist of the series, Kamen Rider 1 is a motorcycle-riding superhero modeled after a Grasshopper. One of the most recognizable and iconic characters in Japanese entertainment, Kamen Rider 1 is as irrecoverably burnt into the cultural subconscious as the series itself.
+[[File:Ichigo earthquake statue.jpg|thumb|The Kamen Rider statue still standing amidst the 2011 earthquake.]]
+A statue of Kamen Rider stands outside the [[Ishinomori Manga Museum]] in Miyagi, a city neighboring Tome, where [[Shotaro Ishinomori]] was born. This statue was observed still standing amongst the rubble after the Tōhoku earthquake and resulting tsunami in 2011, and became the subject of a well-known photo.
+{{-}}
 ==Notes==
+*Contrary to popular belief, Hongo is not the first Kamen Rider to utilize the hand motions that would later be iconic for transformations in the Kamen Rider series. The honor actually belongs to [[Hayato Ichimonji]], transforming in episode 14, via the hand motions.
-[[File:Ichigo_earthquake_statue.jpg|thumb|The Kamen Rider statue still standing amidst the 2011 earthquake.]]
+*In recent Heisei and Reiwa developments, Hongo is predated by other heroes who have come long before he was born (ex. the first Kuuga, [[Riku (Kuuga)|Riku]]). Nevertheless, Hongo is the first to bear the title as "Kamen Rider".
-*A statue of Kamen Rider was observed still standing firm after the earthquake in Japan in March 2011 in Ishinomaki in Miyagi, a city hit by the tsunami, and considered as the hometown to Kamen Rider.
+*In the Malaysian English dub, both he and Kamen Rider 2 are called "'''Black Mask Rider'''".
-** Similarly a statue of Rider 1's ''[[Super Sentai]]'' counterpart, {{PR|Tsuyoshi Kaijou|AkaRenger}}, in front of the [[Shotaro Ishinomori|Ishinomori]] Manga Museum, still stood among the devastation.
-*Since Hongo has an IQ of 600, the most experience out of all the Riders, was able to survive a zero degree freeze machine's effects, a zero oxygen trap and even the full effects of a nuclear bomb up close (apparently unharmed and conscious in the latter) while weakened, he may well be one of the most intelligent and strongest Riders throughout the franchise.
-*Although it seemed Hongo quit college when he became a Kamen Rider, Apparently he still went to college (shown in V3's series) and presumably graduated.
-*Contrary to popular belief, Takeshi was not the first Kamen Rider to utilize the stylish hand motions that would later be iconic for transformations in the Kamen Rider Series. The honor actually belongs to [[Hayato Ichimonji]], transforming in episode 14 via the hand motions.
-*Apparently, Hongo can play the guitar as stated in some of the official Kamen Rider merchandise.
-*It was also stated that Hongo keeps his mother's pendant in memory of his parents.
-*Recent Heisei and Neo-Heisei developments in the in-series universe [[timeline]] indicate that Hongo is not the first Kamen Rider, as other heroes have come long before he was born. (Ex. The first Kuuga, [[Riku]])
-**However, he is the first to be ''called'' "Kamen Rider" as his predecessors were referred to only by name. (Ex. Kuuga or Riku instead of Kamen Rider Kuuga). Most Heisei Riders after him seem to avoid using the title of Kamen Rider altogether, as simplifying their names to just their given one makes them easier to identify for fans as there are now over 100+ Kamen Riders in the franchise.
-**It should also be noted that most of the Rider series after the Showa Era are technically not connected with another, as the continuity is sometimes written for the shows to be their own stand alone stories. The real world fact is that Hongo was the first Rider created by Ishinomori himself, thus Hongo is more than deserving of his title Kamen Rider 1.
-*Rider 1's title of ''Waza no Ichigo'' (Number 1 of Skill) is often used for Kamen Riders to describe their unarmed forms, calling themselves ''Waza no Senshi'' (Warriors of Technique).
-*A notable habit of Hongo as shown throughout the series is that he is sometimes seen riding his motorcycle without wearing a motorcycle helmet. This is especially seen in recent crossover movies like ''[[Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai]]'' and in ''[[Kamen Rider 1 (movie)|Kamen Rider 1]]''.
