Oh yeah, and Ichimonji too.
Which do you prefer? I say Ichigo simply because that's what everyone in-universe calls him. Same reason nobody says "Masked Rider", "transform", or "Masked Rider Hat." Masked Rider Hat, by the way, is the one who walks the path of heaven.

In Kabuto, they referred to Kamen Riders as Masked Riders "in show".

^I'd say that's probably because of the Masked Mode though.
On topic, Ichigo for me.

Ichigo isn't "weaboo," it's just wrong.
Ichigo means Strawberry. Ichi-Gou means "Number 1." Nigo is nothing. It's not word. Ni-Gou means "Number 2." Gou doesn't even literally mean "number." It's a contextual word for numerical value, so in Dragonball Z we have "Juuhachi-gou" Which is almost always translated as "Android 18." Here we have a character who was SIMPLY known as Kamen Rider, until the series progressed and they eventually started referring to him as the first Kamen Rider. So you can go with Rider 1, or Number 1, or even Version 1 (it's wrong, but less so than Strawberry.) I understand that some people have a preference for Japanese sounding names, but this is like apples and oranges. Quote:

For what it's worth, the SHF packages say "MAKSED RIDER 1" and "MASKED RIDER 2," but then the Tiger & Bunny packages also talk about "Hiroic Action" so take that with a grain of salt, certainly. But in this case it's certainly accurate enough.

Someone like "Den-O" is a proper noun, not a descriptive word, so we call him Den-O. Not "King of Trains."

"King of Trains" sounds kind of badass in an obscenely ridiculous way, though.

Sieg made a pun about it one of the Let's Go Kamen Riders Net Movies. It was kind of a pain to make sense of it in english, but I think I gave it a good shot. I also included a more literal "weaboo" translation for anybody that prefers that.
