I really liked this one, but I guess I'm just biased towards the pun. XD I've always loved the concept of Psychics and think this is cool, also kind of feels a bit like X-Men, but I might just have it on the mind.

The Phantom Thief Rider, Kamen Rider Camo!

I also like the concept of this idea overall. I think it's always neat when the main character is more of an audience surrogate. I didn't see a lot of it, but kind of reminds me of the OG Kamen Rider in the Rider and sidekick dynamic.

I've held off on posting this, but I don't really think I'm going anywhere with this concept, so figured I'd put it out into the wild anyway;

The series would take place in Tokyo, or some kind of large fictional city that has a lot of neon lights that make the night as bright as a star. While from the outside, the city is a bastion of technological advancement. But every citizen is aware of the massive turf war going on.

With gangs?

You wish!

These are done by massive corporations. There are three main corporations fighting each other, with various smaller corps either being absorbed by the big 3, are trying to carve a small niche for themselves, or merging together to form a big enough power to topple the other 3. And how are these battles fought? Usually with what are called 'Mengu Core', a face mask that transforms employees into monster soldiers, with higher ups getting better masks that makes them look more like monster-like samurais. These constant battles are always bringing in the common folk into the middle, with the companies always sweeping you under the rug-one way or the other.

But, hold on, it seems one of the companies have done inventory and a Mengu Core is missing.

Well, that's because it was stolen and reverse-engineered into the 'Kage Driver', a special belt buckle and the transformation trinket that transforms Matsuba Edo, aka Codename Iga, into Kamen Rider Tokage!

Translator's Note: 'Tokage' is Japanese for 'Lizard', but 'Kage' on its own can also mean 'Shadow'.

Another Note: I'm partially aware that Gaim has a Warring States/Samurai theme going on, but I thought it'd be interesting if we took that theme, but put our hero in the role of a ninja instead of another warring lord.

Matsuba is effectively a ninja and the chosen champion of his clan to become the Kamen Rider in order to fight the Company Lords from the shadows and take them for the sake of the common man. Over the series, he'll get various 'Jutsu Batteries', effectively tube-like devices that he'll put into a holster on his hips for the Kage Driver to activate a jutsu. He'd also get various other tools outside of Jutsu Batteries that are legit ninja tools, like katanas, shuriken, caltrops, and so on.

I can't think of what secondary riders could be, but they could maybe be based off of other animals associated with ninjas, like a Kamen Rider Gama(Toad) and Kamen Rider Kitsune(Fox), perhaps chosen from other clans. Perhaps they could be enemy ninjas working for these Company Lords, as Samurais did have ninjas under their employ.
