Cross-media recommendations across film, TV, games, books & music — picked by taste.

Kamen Rider follows a young man whose life is violently redirected by a shadowy organisation that remakes him as a cyborg weapon — then watches him turn that same power against them. It's a story about identity surviving transformation, about the body becoming a battleground between the self and those who would use it. The taste it signals: action rooted in personal cost rather than spectacle, antagonists with institutional reach, and heroes defined by what they refuse to become.

About Kamen Rider

Kamen Rider is a Japanese tokusatsu superhero television series and weekly science fiction manga created by manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori.

The manga adaptation was also featured in Shōnen Magazine around the same period. The series has evolved into a franchise with many subsequent annual iterations.
