Considering Kamen Rider Spirits and how Ryo is handled in that manga, it was an awesome choice.

I was thinking more of how he only appeared on film twice, separated by a very long time, but the character was really prominent in supporting media.

was there a lot of promotion for him? I don't think I saw a lot of ads that said he was coming back.

Ryo Hayami got a bit of spotlight, not as much as Fujioka, but still quite a bit.

all we really got from the ads was just ZX doing a pose iirc.

I need to finish Kuuga (Most likely restart it)...

Also yay for double Kenji! (Tominaga Kenji, the suit actor for Kuuga and Urai Kenj, the actor who played N-Daguva-Zeba- they played together in the Sailor Moon musicals after Kuuga)

Urai Kenji also played another character in a white suit last year, the batshit crazy Yano Kentaro in Aoi Honoo (Blue Blazes):

ZX is the main character of Spirits and back in the 80s he had a lot of development in magazines and even a radio drama. I wasn't talking specifically about the Heisei vs. Showa movie, but about the character of ZX in general.

Leave out the white, because Tuxedo Kamen's suit is black xDDD

Now I can finally say it....HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOL GUY!!!

Today on the 30th of January 2000 Kamen Rider went back on the air after 10 years of absence and I am very grateful for that

A Huge *Thumbs Up* To Kuuga and the Return of Kamen Rider! I am so happy and thankful I have found Kamen Rider and that it returned 15 Years ago.
