About Kamen Rider
Kamen Rider has run, with one long break, since 1971, and Toei reboots the premise every year: a new hero, a new belt, a new gimmick, and a clean story that assumes no prior viewing. The Showa era built the foundation, the Heisei era from Kuuga onward made each year its own continuity, and the Reiwa era continues that pattern.
That yearly reset is the good news: you can start almost anywhere. Kuuga (2000) is the modern ground zero, W and OOO are the most newcomer-friendly Heisei entries, and Zero-One or Geats are the cleanest Reiwa doors in. Decade and Zi-O are anniversary crossovers that only pay off once you know the riders they celebrate, so save those for later.
Good to know
The 1989 to 1999 gap is real: after Black RX the franchise went quiet apart from films until Kuuga revived it in 2000. Movies are side stories to their series and can be watched right after the matching show. Spin-offs like Amazons and Black Sun are adult reimaginings for streaming and sit outside the TV continuities. Zeztz, which began in 2025, was the current series at the last check.
