NHK Kamen Rider Poll results
Commemorating the franchise's 50th anniversary, the TV channel NHK has hosted the largest ever Kamen Rider poll among Japanese fans; asking them for their favourite productions (TV series, Movies), their favourite Kamen Riders, and their favourite music. The poll in the end consisted of a total of 567,710 votes; with demographics split by gender and age group in the image below. Most notably, Women make up 1/3 of the vote and those in their 20s were the most represented age group
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FDhUeyOW...jpg&name=large I'll be cutting down the entirety of the Kamen Riders results as it consists of 100 Kamen Riders which would make the thread just a little too long. If you want to see full results in English for that category, they are here in this tweet. Some extra smaller categories:- - OOO and Birth's Ridevendor is the Rider Machine people most want to ride - The top 5 Rider Productions among children under 9 are Ex-Aid, Den-O, Build, Super Hero Senki and Revice - Den-O is most popular among Women (making up 61% of its vote), and 20-29 year olds (making up 26% of the vote) The results are as follows:- |

The production list I'm mostly okay with, and with mostly I mean ignoring Faiz, but the Rider list freaks me out a little. Eternal almost at Top 10? Joker (which I assume is Shotaro) at 12? Really? Huh.
Interesting but a little bewildering to me. Also, V3 at the 25th production spot yet the most favorite Showa Rider aside from Ichigo. |
Rider Seasons that did not make the top 25:-
- Every Showa except OG, V3 and Black - Kiva - Wizard - Ghost - Amazons (both seasons) - Saber - Revice I find it interesting that technically 01 and W both made the list twice through their movies, and Zi-O did so three times. Over Quartzer being that popular is a little shocking |
Ryuki being the 6th most popular production while having no riders from that series being in the top 25 riders is sort of confusing to me lol

During the show they reveal Kamen Rider Century.

Apologies, the top 25 Riders I posted earlier seemed to have been a different version or translators were mixed up. The top 8 were right but it was overall jumbled; I've edited to post the corrected version now. Still some big surprises; and it's wild to me that the top 2 non-main riders are both from Build

Black RX in front of Black though - hell no. And it still confuses me a bit that Joker is on the list, that one I don’t get at all. |

I love how consistently over the last few years Build I'd always right behind the big 4 of Kuuga, Den-O, W and OOO. Build was my first season, so I sometimes worry that my love of it comes from nostalgia and that I wouldn't have thought it was as incredible if I was already well associated with Toku before watching it, but seeing it remain consistently popular along with the four older "best" season makes me feel validation
|
It's kind of funny to me that Kabuto and Decade, as Riders, are ranked higher than their respective shows but I guess that goes to show how popular Tendo and Tsukasa were.
|
Pretty much! Doesn't surprise me too much; even if you don't think much of Decade and Kabuto as shows, their leads are VERY standout personalities especially next to a lot of other Main Riders being just generally nice people
|
The website has demographic breakdowns for a few series, and I am IN LOVE with V3's

An overview of all the results, including the massive 100 Kamen Riders list. Something right away I find interesting is that all Main Riders from all eras - including The First, Amazon Neo and Amazon Omega - made the list, aside from ZX, J and G (who was not included in the poll options)

Durandal and Sabela somehow making it in the list but not Calibur or Slash
Valkyrie higher than Saikou or Kenzan There are things that are confusing to me. Glad to see Faiz in the top 10 (Seihou soon?) and surprised Saber himself made it in the top 50s |

It is a well-known fact that those curmudgeonly old-school Rider fans love them some V3! He's a REAL hero, unlike Decade!:p Quote:

Grease is higher than Cross-Z? What madness is this!? :lol
An interesting list, wasn't expecting The First to make the list, or some of the placements. And seeing the Zi-O movies also highly ranked, I can see, since I loved Zi-O's movies, of course I also like the Ichigo 2016 movie, but I'm okay with it not making the list. Still, it's nice to see some of the Showa Riders made pretty good headway. Black RX's song is another one I can see why it made it, 'cause it's pretty darn good, though admittedly, I like some of the other Showa Openings a little more. Also, Excite beat Climax Jump? No Life is Showtime? It also feels a little unfair to put Revice on the list since the show only just started (as of the time I assume this poll took place), or at least to me. This is really reminding me that Kabuto, Den-O, Blade, Kuuga, V3, Black, and Drive are shows I really need to get around to. |

I'm in the 20-29 percentile so seeing Faiz rank highest there hits me because Faiz was my first Rider show. Although I was in my teen years when I watched it.
|
Have to remember both Zi-O movies featured all Heisei Riders not that it takes away from them because I did enjoy the Zi-O movies as well but I love Heisei Generations Final more
|
I'm shocked Gaim isn't that popular in Japan since it's probably the most milked Heisei series that isn't Den-O/Decade(and even then Den-O/Decade are by nature easy to throw into other shows since they're literally a time traveler/dimension hopper respectively ignoring Den-O's popularity)
|
I'm glad to see Blade getting some love. While it's not topping the charts, it's placing respectively, so clearly enough people have taste :lol
OOO placing highly brings a smile to my face! |
Not to put down Over Quartzer, which is a movie I like, but it and P.A.R.T.Y. probably got a lot of votes due to their memetic power. Though I'm sad Over Quartzer the tv show theme song didn't even make top 15 music...
I've always considered Joker to be just a 'form' of W, but I'm not against Shotarou getting 1.5 times as much spotlight as everyone else! And love just about the whole Build crew being there :) (rip Rogue tho) |
Quote:
It was incredibly hype at the time, a lot of people got into Gaim hard, but I just don’t think it has enough staying power to be a lot of people's favorites. Enough staying power to print cash? Sure. But for the absolute favorite among all? Nah. |
I think I would still take the list with a bit of a pinch of salt in that TV Asahi not doing the poll still seems a bit strange to me and these things could still always not necessarily be the most representative even if the people asked didn't actually lie! Over here we have a thing of 'a new study has come out' saying a different thing to a study a few months before!
I like the Over Quartzer movie anyway, as I've said I did prefer Zi-O to Decade and it's good how it kind of slightly moved on from the ''Heisei vs Showa'' arguments being as why should Ichigo be like J or Kuuga be like Zi-O, plus now there are three eras! |

Not that people think it's bad, per se, but that it was a rather lackluster one as multiple fan favorites fade into the background, characters that do remain active have little impact beyond punching grunts while Gaim becomes a literal god, and Baron's character goes off the rails. Honestly, Gaim becoming god is the epitome of missing the characters' point, considering he spends most of the series talking about sticking together and how teamwork is strength :lol Gaim is a good show and people love it, but when Double, OOO, Ex-Aid, and Build are all flexing their muscles, it's cracks really start to show :lol |
Gaim doesn't get milked that much. It definitely gets a bit more attention than say Drive or Wizard, especially recently; but compared to OOO and Kuuga it's not that much
|
Sadness about lack of Buster and Saber in general. Necrom being low makes sense, but also I like Alan.
This is really proof I need to watch more kamen rider tbh. I must learn more about all these characters. |
Oh, and another thing worth noting: unlike past polls where you could only vote for your favourite series, this one actually allowed you to vote for multiple things at a time. You were allowed to vote for up to 3 productions, and up to 5 Kamen Riders. So this is a pretty good guage of what everyone's second and third favourites are as well; and in general much more accurate than the previous polls
|
No complaints here. This was certainly an interesting list with some unexpected choices, but overall pretty good.
Do kind of wish Buster and Slash got some love, but I'm good with this. |
