A teaser trailer for the upcoming anniversary project Superhero Year: Kamen Rider 1 has been posted online! The centerpiece of this teaser is Kamen Rider #1, Hiroshi Fujioka himself, performing the iconic Henshin! sequence.
According to recent interviews, Fujioka has been heavily involved with the pre-production of this new film, spending 5 months helping to develop the script. The films’ official head writer is Toshiki Inoue, a veteran of multiple tokusatsu projects. Meanwhile the film will be directed by Osamu Kaneda (whose resume includes both Superhero Taisen projects and Kamen Rider Gaim: Gaiden).

The first scans for the upcoming anniversary project Superhero Year: Kamen Rider 1 have surfaced online!
Centerpiece of these new scans is a completely revamped design for Kamen Rider 1 featuring bulky new armor. In addition, the first Rider gets a brand-new motorcycle- the Neo Cyclone!
Furthermore, the scans confirm that original actor Hiroshi Fujioka will reprise his role as Kamen Rider 1! The film’s story involves the return of evil organization Shocker (now split into the original group feuding with a subset called Nova Shocker.) Both Kamen Rider Ghost and Kamen Rider Specter are seen fighting alongside Kamen Rider 1, but it is unknown at this time if other Riders will join the fight.
