Overview
Kamen Rider is a tokusatsu television series and weekly science
fiction manga created by manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori. It debuted on
television on April 3, 1971, and ran until February 10, 1973, airing on
the Mainichi Broadcasting System and NET TV. The manga adaptation was
also featured in Shōnen Magazine around the same period. The series has
evolved into a franchise with many subsequent annual iterations. The
cultural impact of the series in Japan resulted in astronomer Akimasa
Nakamura naming two minor planets in honor of the series: 12408 Fujioka,
after actor Hiroshi Fujioka, known for his portrayal of Takeshi
Hongo/Kamen Rider 1, and 12796 Kamenrider, after the series itself.
