We have sadly lost an important figure from Kamen Rider history.
Legendary composer Shunsuke Kikuchi who handled the very first Kamen Rider theme song- Let’s Go! Rider Kick– and many other Rider themes throughout the Showa Era has passed away at 89 years old.
Outside the tokusatsu world, Kinkuchi was a prolific artist- working on several anime themes including DragonBall, Doraemon, Getter Robo and countless others.
Our thoughts are with Shunsuke Kikuchis’ friends and family in this difficult time.
Legendary composer who handled the very first Kamen Rider theme song and a number of other Showa-era hits dead at 89.

One of my favorite music composers ever. RIP
Made music all the way till 2017. What a legend.
Rider Jump! Rider Kick! Kamen Rider Kamen Rider! Rider Rider!
RIP.
Sad to see him pass. He's left behind quite the legacy
RIP Kikuchi-san.
I also love his music for Dragon Ball/Z, Female Prisoner Scorpion, and the Showa Gamera movies.
Gone but never forgotten. We will sing Let's Go! Rider Kick! till the end of time.
Rest in Peace, you absolute legend. Your music will live on.
