Depending on how you look at it, they used Strawberry to hide a good number of references. Taken from the Kamen Rider Wiki:

Quote:

• "Ichigo" can be read as "Number 1" when the "go" kana is given an elongation, the name of the very first Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo.
• Gaim would face off against Kamen Rider 1 in Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai, and also using the Showa Rider Lockseed to assume an Arms based on him. Thus, Gaim has two Ichigo Arms; "Strawberry Arms" and "1 Arms". Coincidentally, Gaim also assumes the Strawberry Ichigo Arms during the movie.
• Splitting the two words "Ichi" and "Go" lead to the numbers "1" and "5", as in 15; Kazuraba is the main Rider of the 15th Kamen Rider Heisei Series since the revival with Kamen Rider Kuuga.
• Additionally, the Ichigo Lockseed was first seen in episode 1, while Ichigo Arms made its debut in episode 5.
• Adding the numbers together also yields the Ichigo Lockseed's number, 06.
• Ichigo Arms' design is similar to that of a ninja, making it the first explicit ninja Rider motif since Kamen Rider ZX.
