The official TV-ASAHI page for the next Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Geats has been opened- sharing the full story of this new hero!

Kamen Rider Geats’ true name is Ukiyo Hidetoshi– also known by the nickname Ace. At one point, this man joins a contest known as the DESIRE GRAND PRIX– a contest where players transform into Kamen Riders and battle the dangerous JAMATO creatures. The winner of the Desire Grand Prix gains the right to reshape the world based on what their heart desires.

Each Rider will gain points in the Desire Grand Prix by battling and defeating Jamato. At time of writing, Geats is the only Kamen Rider revealed for the series- but rumors suggest there may be as many as EIGHT Riders participating in the Grand Prix.

The writer for Kamen Rider Geats is Kamen Rider veteran Yuya Takahashi– whose resume includes Kamen Rider Ex-Aid & Kamen Rider Zero-One. Directing the series are more Rider veterans- Shojiro Nakazawa & Teruaki Sugihara. Longtime producer Naomi Takebe returns once again for her first Kamen Rider series in the Reiwa Era.

Kamen Rider Geats begins on September 4 2022!

Earlier today we saw the first official images of the next Kamen Rider– Kamen Rider Geats!

Closer examination of the images gives us a few hints at this upcoming series. The Driver appears to use Gear-like devices, probably this seasons’ collector gimmick.

A promotional flyer for the upcoming Winter 2022 Rider movie (a crossover with Kamen Rider Revice) offers a brief teaser for this new Rider’s story:

“A young man will bet everything on a strange game, changing his boring life for something more exciting.
The game of PROTECTING THE WORLD!
Could he be the last victor?”

This suggests Geats may be in a contest between other Riders in his series.

Kamen Rider Geats will begin airing on September 4 2022! Stay tuned to Tokunation for further details on this new chapter in Kamen Rider history!

When a group of archaeologists uncovers the tomb of a legendary warrior, they unearth Kuuga’s belt, accidentally releasing an ancient race of monsters called the Grongi, bent on destroying humanity. Enter Yusuke Godai, a modern-day guy-next-door, who learns he is telepathically linked to the mysterious stone belt. With its power, he transforms into the legendary warrior known as Kuuga, humanity’s only defense against the murderous Grongi monsters.
