Well, typically, in the States those franchises he listed are popular amongst us because they've had successful U.S. incarnations. DBZ and Megaman are DBZ and Megaman, and someone who's into Power Rangers will probably learn about Super Sentai sooner or later, and if not, well, most modern Sentai shows still get adapted anyway.

Kamen Rider has tried twice to get a popular U.S. adaptation going but has failed. There could be a successful Rider show here in the future, who knows, but I wouldn't expect one any time soon. For now, however, there's just no reason to think that anything Kamen Rider is worth the effort of bringing over to a mainstream market.
