[Comment from Yoshito Sugawara]

The history of such heroes stretches back as far as Gekko Kamen, but it was truly Kamen Rider that brought them into the hearts and minds of the public. Despite bearing the name "Kamen" (mask), the series centers around a cyborg hero—a contradiction that speaks volumes about its brilliance, though that’s a topic for another time.

Kamen Rider, the iconic face of Japan’s tokusatsu heroes, evolved from the early "Masked Rider" days into the definitive "KAMEN RIDER" with the debut of Kamen Rider W in 2009—ten years after the franchise’s revival through Kuuga.

As trends rise and fall, Kamen Rider has always stood firm, battling the evils of each era. But this legacy isn’t something you can fully grasp through facts alone. It’s not just a vertical timeline to be studied—it’s a living anthem shared by those who experienced each era firsthand.

Showa. Heisei. Reiwa.

Through it all, there’s always been another version of yourself, smiling back with the same drive to pursue hope.

Which era was yours?

In the Yoshihito Sugawara Project, we honor the Showa-era televised Kamen Riders as a distinct chapter of history—etched here, now, in this moment. Not just out of nostalgia, but as a way to reflect your own present self, facing the challenges of a new age.
