Kamen Rider 1 - The First Hero

Kamen Rider #1 is a Fictional character featured in Japanese Tokusatsu. He first appeared in the television series Kamen Rider, the first in the famous Kamen Rider franchise
of tokusatsu programmes. The primary Protagonist of the series, Kamen Rider #1 is a Motorcycle-riding Superhero modelled upon a Grasshopper. 

The character, before being transformed into a powerful hero, was a college biochemistry student. Born in 15 August, 1948, he is an intelligent young man who enjoyed riding motorcycles, in the first episode of the series he witnessed the murder of a scientist at the hands of a Shocker (Kamen Rider) Kaijin named "Kumo Otoko" ("Kumo Otoko Man"). He is then kidnapped 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. 



 

After this initial introduction, the series becomes, as with most tokusatsu programmes of the era, fairly formulaic. Each episode sees Hongo meeting another of Shocker's mutants, 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.

Abilities:

• Height: 180 cm
• Weight: 70 kg
• High jump: 15.3 m
• Long jump: 18.7 m

Because he was meant to be Shocker’s greatest altered human Kamen Rider 1 has the ability to hear at distances of 4 kilometers. He can break a meter thick tree trunk, a metal rod 10 cm thick with his Rider Chop. Rider Kick has enough power to bend steel supports of buildings.

Kamen Rider 1 uses the power of the wind to fight. To transform Rider speeds on his 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 “old” Rider did not have a shout or a pose when he transforms.
