Rumors have that Ishinomori Productions weren't happy with Masked Rider, Dragon Knight not performing as well as Toei hoped it would be as well an official release of Kamen Rider The First going under the rader and not selling well. Combined with lack of communication torwards english speaking fans until recently discovering Toei's director of Planning and Production Shirakura Shinichiro twitter account and bombarding him until he apologized for commenting on saying he didn't believe a western Kamen Rider fanbase even existed.
