Prior to being finalized, Dynaman was originally a baseball motif and the working title at one point was V-Leaguer.
Maskman was originally going to be called Fiveman but was later changed to the Maskman we know. Yet, hints of the Fiveman aspect are still around such as the chest logo and their robot Great Five. Two years later Chikyu Sentai Fiveman came out. Kakuranger is loosely based off the same source material as Dragonball, Journey To The West. Guess that sorta explains the traveling nomads aspect as well as why Ninja Red has a bunshin/clone technique like Sun Wu Kong and has a monkey bot. The five have certain traits carried from the five heroes. Sasuke - Sun Wukong Tsuruhime - Tang Sanzang Seikai - Zhu Bajie. Saizou - Sha Wujing Jiraiya - White Dragon Horse

In the early part of Kamen Rider X, Keisuke had an increasingly complicated relationship with his evil ex-fiance Ryoko and her good twin sister Kiriko. They were both killed off by episode 10, but in real life Ryo Hayami (X Rider) and Naoko Miyama (the twins) got married after the show ended.
Their son is also an actor and unsuccessfully auditioned for the leading role in Kamen Rider Agito. |

The original Yellow Ranger, Hatakeyama Baku, Kirenger from Gorenger, committed suicide due to a number of reasons, including being typecast as Kirenger. He currently remains the only deceased actor to play a Sentai warrior.

1. Kyuranger trivia that I discovered:
- Spada means sword, which is befitting for someone whose motif is a marlin/swordfish - Sho Lonpo's name derives from the dumpling xiaolongbao which is called sholonpo in Japanese - The 283 in Raptor 283 can also be read using goroawase as "Tsubasa" which means wing in Japanese 2. The third letter in the name of all five Timerangers spell out TAIMU(time) Tatsuya Ayase Shion Domon Yuuri 3. In Magiranger if you take the first syllables from the first name of the four older Ozu siblings and merge it with Kai, it forms the word Mahoutsukai, which means magician Makito Houka Urara Tsubasa Kai

So some Sotaro trivia today.
For those who do not know who he is he was the fifth Gekiranger Ken Hisatsu/Geki Chopper and was probably the first sentai hero to sport facial hair from the get-go. He later appeared as Jabel in Kamen Rider Ghost. So on with the trivia: - Both his characters Ken and Javelle ate menchi-katsu in their respective shows, in Gekiranger it is Ken's signature food and he has been seen eating it during the show while Javelle had one during episode 38, most likely a nod to Gekiranger. - Sotaro's actual older brother is former actor Naohisa Adachi, the actor who was B-Fighter Kuwagar/Kengo Tachibana in the B-Fighter sequel B-Fighter Kabuto(1996). - He had a role in a Steven Seagal movie

Several years before he was cast as kaito kumon in kamen rider gaim, Yutaka Kobayashi had auditioned and was cast for the role of captain marvelous but had turned it down for the sakenof another project.
Also he was born on the day episode 20 of kamen rider black rx had originally aired.

One of Kamen Rider Decade's original plot ideas had Decade as a student attending a special school staffed by previous riders, with Ichigou acting as the principal/director of the school. There, Decade would have been taught how to become a top-notch rider by his mentors.
While this plot was never used, it was saved and retooled into what we now know as Kamen Rider Fourze. Hironari Amano's (Kamen Rider Garren) role in Fourze as the school principal can be considered a reference to the original, Decade-specific synopsis. Bouncing off of that, a lot of rider ideas tend to be in their planning stages long before they actually come to be. Another example would be a rider concept thought up during the production of Kamen Rider Kabuto of a duo becoming one hero, originally conceptualized as a pair of siblings. This idea would be fleshed out and brought to light a few years later as Kamen Rider W.
