Special Case

Purpose: Displays the Rider Costume.

Since the Form Name of the Ex-Aid series is too complex, in order to reduce the cost of understanding the file name, we have specified exclusive naming rules for the Ex-Aid series Riders.
Naming rule: Ex-Aid Riders name + Level abbreviation + (If there are multiple Forms of the same level, add lowercase letters to distinguish them.)
Example:
Kamen Rider Para-DX Puzzle Gamer Level 50 → KREA-Paradxl50a.png
Kamen Rider Para-DX Fighter Gamer Level 50 → KREA-Paradxl50b.png
Kamen Rider Genm Action Gamer Level 0 (Proto Origin) → KREA-Genml0a.png
Kamen Rider Genm Proto Sports Action Gamer Level 0 → KREA-Genml0b.png

There are some riders whose rider name is consistent with their main form name.
Such as: Kamen Rider Gaoh and Kamen Rider Kiva
In order to avoid confusion caused by repeated words, in this case, just write the Rider name. (This rule only takes effect for the main form.)
Example:
Kamen Rider Gaoh Gaoh Form → KRDO-Gaoh.png
Kamen Rider Kiva Kiva Form → KRDO-Kiva.png

Kamen Riders with the same name are rare in the history of the series, but not impossible.
Such as:

Kamen Rider Blade in Kamen Rider Ryuki, and Kamen Rider Blade in Kamen Rider Blade
仮面ライダー凍鬼 and 仮面ライダー闘鬼 are both spelled Kamen Rider Touki.

Since the former can be distinguished by the Abbreviation of Rider series name, it will not be discussed here. The latter are all derived from Kamen Rider Hibiki and cannot be distinguished.So we use romanization instead of English spelling to refer to 仮面ライダー凍鬼.
Example:
仮面ライダー闘鬼 → Kamen Rider Touki → KRHi-Touki.png
仮面ライダー凍鬼 → Kamen Raidā Tōki → KRHi-Tohki.png

These are the Kamen Riders who have appeared in the previous season, but either the user came from a different season or significantly different from the original version in terms of transformation items and suits and these changes may just be exclusive to the new season. Therefore, the file name prefix will be chosen to take the new season instead of the season where the Rider come from.
Naming rule: New season prefix + Rider name
Example: Kamen Rider Kuuga Growing Form (Yusuke Onodera) come from Kamen Rider Decade, the appearance has been slightly different, originally appeared in Kamen Rider Kuuga → KRDCD-Kuugagrowing.png
Example: Kamen Rider Glare that come from Kamen Rider Gotchard, the suit has been slightly retooled, originally appeared in Kamen Rider Geats → KRGo-Glare.png
Example: Kamen Rider Ark-One that come from Kamen Rider Gotchard, the suit has been slightly retooled, originally appeared in Kamen Rider Zero-One → KRGo-Ark-One.png
Example: Kamen Rider Revi/Vice that participated in Desire Royale in Kamen Rider Geats, originally appeared in Kamen Rider Revice → KRGe-Revibeat (upper).png / KRGe-Vicemonster (upper).png

Items Image

Purpose: Displays the default form of Items.
Naming rule: Abbreviation of Rider series name + full name of items + (The state of the item at this time)
Example:
KamenRide Kuuga Rider Card → KRDCD-KamenRide Kuuga Rider Card.png → KRDCD-KamenRide Kuuga Rider Card (Lost Power).png
Shift Speed → KRDr-Shift Speed.png → KRDr-Shift Speed (Lever Mode).png
Zi-O Ridewatch → KRZiO-Zi-O Ridewatch.png → KRZiO-Zi-O Ridewatch (Inactive).png
