A pair of returning Rider actors have been announced for this illustrious occasion:
*Gaku Sano will once again reprise his role as the titular Kamen Rider Gaim! He appears to offer guidance to the wandering Sougo.
*Not to be outdone, Yutaka Kobayashi will be returning as Kaito Kumon- better known as Kamen Rider Baron! Kaito will offer his expertise to a still-skeptical Geiz.

The next issue of Figure Oh has just been teased with a censored cover. With the cover feature being the next S.H. Figuarts reveal for the Heisei Riders Rising Project.
While we’ve been let down many times before, the timing, secrecy, the unseen 20th Rider Kicks ride watch stage that was teased, the massive build up of anticipation, and frankly what is clearly the moon on the background of this cover, would imply that this could very well be the long awaited Kamen Rider Kiva.
There has been no confirmation of this figure’s identity yet, and this is purely speculation based. Your guess will be as good as ours, but our money is on Kiva. Confirmation one way or the other will be made officially on 10/24, when this cover is finally revealed in full.
Let us know what you think it might be, in the thread linked below. Just click “Discuss in the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
New images from the latest Kamen Rider Zi-O merchandise catalog have been posted online, revealing several details about the further adventures of this anniversary series!
*Kamen Rider Zi-O upgrades to a new form- Kamen Rider Zi-O II! This new configuration splits Zi-O’s suit-literally doubling the watch decals on the chest and helmet.
*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz uses a new hourglass-based RideWatch to become Kamen Rider Geiz Revive! The Revive form has multiple configurations- closed armor for defensive combat and open armor for heavy attacks.
But the biggest reveal in this new catalog is the THIRD Kamen Rider joining the adventure! This is our first look at Kamen Rider Woz! The green Rider from Year 2068 uses a new device known as the BeyonDriver along with his unique brand of RideWatchs- the MiraiWatch!
While Zi-O & Geiz channel the powers of past Kamen Riders, Kamen Rider Woz is able to channel the powers of FUTURE Kamen Riders! Three brand-new Riders are shown in Woz’s arsenal- Kamen Rider Shinobi, Kamen Rider Quiz & Kamen Rider Kikai. Using the MiraiWatches from each, Kamen Rider Woz can activate his Futuring Forms.

Following this mornings’ press conference, we have now learned a great deal about the cast of the 20th Heisei Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Here is what we know of the story so far:
*Kamen Rider Zi-O’s human name is Sougo Tokiwa. He’s described as “an ambitious young man who dreams of being a King.” Sougo’s catchphrase is “I feel like going somewhere!”
*Kamen Rider Geiz is actually a reference to the characters human name, Geiz Myokoin. He was sent back in time to kill Sougo before the Demon King can awaken.
*The female lead is also a time traveler; Tsukoyomi tries to guide Sougo & Geiz on the right path.
*Sougo’s great-uncle Junichiro Tokiwa will run the “hangout” area this season- a boutique called the Kujigojido Shop. He is a watchmaker & knows a lot about past Kamen Riders.
*To stop the Demon King from awakening & destroying the future, Zi-O & Geiz will travel through time to meet with past Kamen Riders. The cast of Kamen Rider Build and several faces from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid are shown returning to greet these new heroes!
*The villains are known as the TimeJackers and they come from the future to replace Zi-O with their own King- via candidates known as Another Riders– people found in other times & granted powers similar to Kamen Riders with devices called AnotherWatches. These AnotherRiders appear as monstrous versions of past Kamen Riders. By defeating them, Zi-O & Geiz will gain the powers of past Riders.
*Schwartz is the name of the TimeJackers’ leader- described as a violent older man. He is aided by a woman named Aura who can convince others to willingly accept AnotherRider powers. Accompanying them is a young man by the name of Wool who playfully experiments with time for his own amusement.
*A mysterious figure known as Wars appears to both the Riders & the TimeJackers. This man is described as “a prophet from the future” and reads tales of heroic actions from his unique book.
Finally, Bandai Japan has uploaded a special promotional video highlighting the history of Kamen Riders in the Heisei Era & acting as a teaser of sorts for this new series:
