Synopsis:
"忍び寄るモンスターの脅威異世界のモンスター、グラニュート。
人間たちは知らない。奴らが密かに人間界にやって来ていることを。人間たちは知らない。奴らが人間を襲い、攫っていることを。
人間を守るため、一人の青年が立ち上がる！
食べることが大好きな青年・ショウマ。ショウマはお菓子を食べることで眷属となる存在「ゴチゾウ」を生み出し、仮面ライダーへと変身する力を手に入れる。
グラニュートから人々の幸せを守るために戦うショウマの物語が今始まる！"
"The creeping threat of Granute, monsters from another world.
Little do humans know that they've secretly invaded the human world. Little do humans know that that they are attacking and kidnapping humans.
A young man is stepping up to protect humans!
Shouma is a young man who loves to eat. By eating sweets, Shoma creates a being called "Gochizou" that becomes his retainers, and gains the power to transform into Kamen Rider.
The story of Shouma who fights to protect people's happiness from Granute, begins now!"

Villains:
"グラニュート界の大手お菓子会社・ストマック社。その経営を務めるのはストマック5兄弟です。"
"Stomach is a major confectionery company in the Granute confectionery world. It is run by the five Stomach siblings."

The Gochizous are indeed Shouma's minions that he creates. With 3 protagonists, 5(!) siblings as starter villains, and transformation trinkets that act like actual creatures, Gavv feels more and more like Gotchard v2.0. And the writer is indeed Junko Komura. Why did Toei bother to build up hype when it's finally revealed that the writer is an average one? This gotta be one of the weirdest (if not the weirdest) marketing tactic I've seen. Sooooooo underwhelming.

You're right. I'm interested to see his take on the sport anime genre. Urobuchi would likely turn Beyblade into a fiercely competitive bloodsport.
