On the subject of the female Zio rumor, I have a question. Kamen Rider, above all else, is a toy commercial not a tv show. It does not exist to challenge social ideals or anything of the like, it exists to pump out highly marketable heroes every year to sell toys and other merchandise to a primarily male market of both children and, to a lesser extent, adults. The question is, are there any financial benifits for Toei and Bandai to make Zio female rather then male.

I am actually really doubt if Zi-O is girl because younger boys (kids) are more prefer to male protagonist hero. Super Sentai also are dominated by male members just like Kamen Rider. Also the younger boys (kids) are main target for Kamen Rider toys.....

Toei already has Precure for female audiences so yeah I really doubt for female Rider as main protagonist.....
