Happy 75th Birthday Shotaro Ishinomori
 

Yesterday marked the 75th birthday of the late Kamen Rider creator Shotaro Ishinomori! Ishinomori worked on a number of titles, ranging from Cyborg 009 to the likes of Zelda! Sure we know him from his work on the Rider genre of Tokusatsu, but did you also know he held a Guinness World Record? More from Comics Alliance:

Not too shabby for Osamu Tezuka's former assistant!

Sweet. Didn't know he was a record breaker!

Props to the man who started Kamen Rider!

did you also know he help create super sentai due to the fact like kamen rider was based of skull man super sentais own go ranger was based of his cyber 009 manga serise and also altered to be what we get today

Yeah didn't he have something to do with Gorenger and JAKQ?

yea this guy is the guy that with out him we would have no sentai and no sentai mean PR would not be 20 years old with out ishinomori help on both franchises

Kudos to this guy. Without him none of us would be here.
