The official press conference reveal for the 17th Hesei-era Kamen Rider took place today in Japan, and we have learned several new facts about Kamen Rider Ghost! We now have a full introductory cast with character profiles to match!
*Kamen Rider Ghost (aka Takeru Tenkuji) will be played by Shun Nishime. His character is described as a carefree and cheerful young man.
*Actress Hikaru Osawa will join the cast as Takeru’s childhood friend, Akari. She is a university student with a strong interest in science who aids Takeru in ghost hunting.
*Takanuki Yanagi will portray another friend of Takeru- head priest Onari of the Tenku Temple.
*The cast also includes a mysterious hermit played by Naoto Takenaka. He offers guidance to Takeru and teaches him about the Eyecons.
*Kamen Rider Specter (design sadly still unrevealed at time of writing) is also known as Makoto Fukami and will be played by Ryosuke Yamamoto. In contrast to Ghost, Specter is described as a cold & serious person.
*The main villain for this series, with the ability to summon the Ganma creatures is referred to only as The Mysterious Man and will be played by Yoshiyuki Morishita. Another villain known only as Alan will be played by Hayato Isomura. They are among the few who know the TRUE secret of the Eyecons…
*Last but certainly not least, the theme song for this new series will be performed by the band Kishidan!
Kamen Rider Ghost premieres on October 4 2015! Be sure to join in our Ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this exciting new series!
The other thread was locked for an unreliable source, but the rumors of a Fashion theme for our next Kamen Rider may have some credence after all. http://www.jefusion.com/2015/05/kame...es-is.html?m=1

From FIqyFr3nB - “I heard the theme is fashion. As expected, I can’t imagine how it looks like without seeing the design image. I hope I get to see it next week”
Still best to take with a grain of salt, but a fashion themed Rider would be interesting.
In an earlier post by Jefusion(who we debunked earlier) the sourced quotes were from members of 2chan, this included FIqyFr3nB, who had previously provided rumors for Kamen Rider Drive's Type DeadHeat, Type Formula, and Kamen Rider Chaser.
From zQacw/7nsedJ - Kazuhiro Takahashi will be the head producer for the next series. He has previously worked as series producer for Kamen Rider Fourze, and a few episodes of Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider OOO.
They also stated that it is likely that the tradition of the summer movie introducing the next main rider for the new series will return. This means that the Drive's final form and the next Kamen Rider will be officially revealed in next month's terebi-kun and before Kamen Rider Drive’s summer movie premieres this coming August.
Update 5-26
We have our trademark! And unless there's some clever naming scheme, this seems to debunk the fashion rumors.
Fashion themed? I heard it was going to be a card theme. But then, none of this is most likely true. I'm not even sure how a fashion themed series would even work. But then, I'll take anything after Drive. God I wish that show as ending already.
Let me reiterate what I said in the same news thread that used JeFusion source for the rumor:
Some of you need to learn not to believe JeFusion rumors!
There's a way I can take this theme and twist it into a pony related pun.
But I'm not really feeling it. So fashion pone.
I know you like using ponies for reaction stuff now but man cut down the size of it, not everyone is a fan and this is primarily a toku forum.
Keeping on topic. Fashion themed is quite an interesting one, it's not something usually marketed towards boys. I feel like it's going to be the same as the dancing in Gaim in that it'll serve as a backdrop as opposed to the theme of the suit and belt.
But in saying that it might also be a theme in that parts of the suit will change as if changing clothes, a bit like OOO in a way. For example maybe different shoes could result in different Rider Kicks.
Fashion sounds like a really good idea for the gimmick line as well. The Tire Koukan series is cool but it just doesn't stack up to, say, outfitting figures with an entirely new set of armor or swapping torsos and heads and all of that other stuff.
