Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider Ichigo

Takeshi Hongo (本郷 猛 Hongō Takeshi) is Kamen Rider 1 (仮面ライダー１号 Kamen Raidā Ichigō, Masked Rider 1), or Kamen Rider 1-go[1], the original Kamen Rider. He first appeared in Kamen Rider, the first installment in the long-running Kamen Rider franchise of tokusatsu programs. The primary protagonist of the series, Kamen Rider 1 is a motorcycle-riding superhero modeled after a Grasshopper. One of the most recognizable and iconic characters in Japanese entertainment, Kamen Rider 1 is as irrecoverably burnt into the cultural subconscious as the series itself.
