MASKED RIDER SHIN

Kamen Rider Shin



"The Real" Kamen Rider was the objective of Masked Rider Shin.
Masked Rider Shin present in a movie not tv series as all past Riders.

There was about 3 years between the end of the tv series Kamen Rider Black RX and this made for video movie. This is based on the utmost representation of Kamen Rider as envisioned by its creator, Shotato Ishinomori.



Kazamatsuri, Shin (Ishikawa Kohisa) volunteers to take part in medical research, as a patient. He believes he is helping to find a cure for cancer. Actually, he's been used as test subject by an insane scientist who thinks that by mixing grasshopper cells with human cells he can create a new, better race to replace humans.



Although "Kamen" means "Masked" Shin doesn't wear a mask, he actually becomes a Grasshopper-Man and he has no henshin movement. Masked Rider Shin also rides his motorcycle just in his normal human form. His change just comes over him like the Incredible Hulk and he never named his final blow and no one in the movie ever refered to him as "Kamen Rider"


Masked Rider Shin enemy : The Syndicate



Shin's enemies are "The Syndicate" and the CIA (which in this film is no better than the mob).

The opening theme of Shin Kamen Rider is a short instrumental piece. The Ending theme is "Forever", vocals by Noriko, Watanabe.

The grasshopper-man costume was worn by stuntman/actor Okamoto, Jiro.
