Sadly I am not an expert on obscure toku heroes so I have no clue who this guy is.

Needs more Garo to give children nightmares.

One of Shotaro Ishinomori's many manga-turned-tokusatsu creations of the 70s'. He appeared in Let's Go Kamen Rider with fellow Ishinomori creations such as the other Kikaider, Inazuman, and Zubat.

This should help in some way.

You know, if they can get Keita Amemiya to at least do the suit designs I'd be pretty pumped for this. I loved the look he gave Hakaider in that movie.

So much yes. I love Kikaider and would love to see a modern take on it.

I'm the happiest person in the world right now, FUCK YEAH KIKAIDA!

I got the original actor's autograph and volume 1 of the manga

I'll be honest: I know nothing about Kikaider, or any of these old Toku Shows that Toei has been reviving through Sentai x Kamen Rider movies and such. All I know of Metal Heroes comes from Big Bad Beetleborgs. That being said, I am happy they are reviving these old shows. And giving each one new life. I appreciate a company that doesn't forget it's past, and doesn't just throw away old shows to be forgotten forever. Like so many others.

I am more excited because we'll get a new Hakaider design out of this...

In Japan and most Gen X'ers from Hawaii like me. He is big. Obscure no. The two anime mini series from was shown on Cartoon Network a few years ago. It was darker and more faithful to the manga than the TV show.
