First Villain

This category houses the first enemy seen and fought by the Rider in each show in the Kamen Rider Series. Frequently, they are the weakest monster of the series.

List of First Villains[]

Notes[]

Perhaps as to homage the first Kamen Rider, the most common motif for the first villain is a spider, while the second most common is a bat.
- Although both Kamen Rider (1971) and Kuuga have the Spider-themed monster as the first villain, Zero-One doesn't have the Spider-themed monster in the entire series. In this case, Berotha Magia is the first Mantis-themed monster as the first villain.
V3, Black RX, Agito, Blade, Hibiki, Decade, Drive, Ghost, Build, Revice, and Geats include multiple monsters as the First Villain.
- Amazons is another case entirely. While three Amazons debuted and were fought, a fourth one appeared but was confronted in the next episode while the third one also died in the second episode.
Doras is the only one to be both the first and final villain.
Unlike with most Final Villains who are usually Kamen Riders, Smart Queen is the first time that the first villain is purely a Kamen Rider and not a technical one.
Clotho is the first villain to be recurring in a TV series as Chainsaw Lizard and Doras were film-exclusive.
