Depending on how you look at it, they used Strawberry to hide a good number of references. Taken from the Kamen Rider Wiki:

Quote:

• "Ichigo" can be read as "Number 1" when the "go" kana is given an elongation, the name of the very first Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo.
• Gaim would face off against Kamen Rider 1 in Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai, and also using the Showa Rider Lockseed to assume an Arms based on him. Thus, Gaim has two Ichigo Arms; "Strawberry Arms" and "1 Arms". Coincidentally, Gaim also assumes the Strawberry Ichigo Arms during the movie.
• Splitting the two words "Ichi" and "Go" lead to the numbers "1" and "5", as in 15; Kazuraba is the main Rider of the 15th Kamen Rider Heisei Series since the revival with Kamen Rider Kuuga.
• Additionally, the Ichigo Lockseed was first seen in episode 1, while Ichigo Arms made its debut in episode 5.
• Adding the numbers together also yields the Ichigo Lockseed's number, 06.
• Ichigo Arms' design is similar to that of a ninja, making it the first explicit ninja Rider motif since Kamen Rider ZX.

Wow, whoever wrote that wiki extract has a lot of time on their hands.

What? Open padlocks look just as much like a "6" as open lock seeds.

I am not dissing those that make these ideas, because Ive had my own ridiculous ideas, but wow at some of them.

Only thing that gets me about these is when a majority of people start believing it like Toei said it themselves

This is why we need those net movie specials to mythbust all this nonsense.

Did a bit of poking around in our news forum; Gaim was officially unveiled by July 25th last year. I have no idea why Toei is taking so long to do so with Drive.

I am guessing that the choice of transportation being a car they were probably being more careful than before from stuff like backlash and fandom scorn which probably explains why the suit designs by PLEX were shillouettes.

Wonder how Takaiwa will play the new character.

Looks like they're about to do a Faiz wrist flick

And now SHF Gaim's open hands make so much sense.

MORE New toy listings, it seems.
