Kamen Rider Ichigo: Kamen Rider 1 – The Movie

Kamen Rider Ichigo: Kamen Rider 1 – The Movie is a Japanese superhero crossover film between Kamen Rider Ghost and the original Kamen Rider, and serves to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the Kamen Rider Series while being part of Toei Company’s Super Hero Yearproject.

In the film, Takeshi is joined by Takeru and Makoto as he protects the granddaughter of an old friend from his ongoing battle with a splinter remnant of Shocker, Nova Shocker.

The catchphrase for this film is “The origin is the apex. Roar with all your might and revive! Rider Henshin!!”

45 years ago, a man was subjected to the experiments of the secret organization Shocker and became a cyborg. Since that day, the man’s sole mission has been protecting humanity and justice from the threat of Shocker. His name is Takeshi Hongo, the first Kamen Rider.

Forty-five years since his transformation, he has returned to Japan once more to protect a girl who seems to be crucial to Shocker’s plans to resurrect Jigoku Taishi. Takeru Tenkuji, Kamen Rider Ghost, and Makoto Fukami, Kamen Rider Specter, join to help him.

However, the years have not been kind to Hongo, whose cyborg body has become weaker. They must also contend with another evil organization claiming to be Shocker known as Nova Shocker.

In the wake of this new threat to the world, Takeshi Hongo transforms as his voice cries “Henshin!”

Will this be the final chapter in the story of Takeshi Hongo? Or will it be the prologue of a brand new legend?

For life, love and future.
