My name is Anon e Mouse Jr., and like many (I suspect), I first became aware of Kamen Rider through Saban's Masked Rider, the American adaptation of Kamen Rider Black RX, though I was unaware of its origin for many years (at least until sometime during the Heisei era, I suspect). Finally, partway through Kamen Rider Wizard, I began seriously following the franchise, and have since delved deeper into it.
My favorite series[]
By internal chronological order:
- Kamen Rider Black - predecessor to the series which kicked off my awareness of Kamen Rider.
- Kamen Rider Black RX - the series which kicked off my awareness of Kamen Rider.
- Kamen Rider Kabuto - due in part to a fanfic crossover I read involving it.
- Kamen Rider Den-O - also due in part to a fanfic crossover I read; however, I suspect some of the videos I saw on Youtube may also have something to do with it.
- Kamen Rider Kiva - the main hero and his closest allies are based off classic Universal Monsters. What's NOT to like?
- Kamen Rider W - I owe this one entirely to a video review I watched of the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Skull and Kamen Rider Joker. Delving deeper into it (after learning the Joker suit was inspired by the actor's love of Kamen Rider Black), I found it most enjoyable.
- Kamen Rider Wizard - the first series I started actively following while it was airing, in part due to it running alongside Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, which I was also following. I've never regretted it.
- Kamen Rider Gaim - The first series I followed from start to finish. It was kind of hard to ignore when I'd been following its predecessor so closely, and looking back, I'm glad I kept it up.
- Kamen Rider Drive - After following Gaim like I did, and what I've seen of it so far? Plus, with the references to Black RX and Double, I'd have hard time NOT watching it.
- Kamen Rider Ghost - With the supernatural aspect to it, the concept looks very interesting.
Be aware, just because these are my favorites, it doesn't mean I DISLIKE the other 22 main Riders and their respective series. They're just a little behind these nine.

My sandboxes[]
Alternate styles of existing pages, created in the hopes of eventually having their contents transferred into the mainspace.
- Lockseeds sandbox - an alternate style of the Lockseeds page, using the "Tabber" coding.
- Shift Cars sandbox - an alternate style of the Shift Cars/Signal Bikes pages, using the "Tabber" coding.
- Advent Cards sandbox - an alternate style of the Advent Cards page, using the "Table" coding. Still in progress, as it is missing images, and the only ways I can think to include them, while staying true to my original goal, involve code that doesn't work on this wiki.
- Wizard Rings sandbox - an alternate style of the Wizard Rings page, using the "Tabber" coding. Still in progress, as the exact coding is giving me a hard time, similar to how the Shift Cars sandbox did at one point.
- List of Roidmudes - an alternate style of the "Major Roidmudes" and "Minor Roidmudes" sections of the Roidmudes page, using the "Table" coding.
- List of S.H. Figuarts - an alternate style of the main Figuarts page, using the "Table" coding for easy sorting by series, figure name, character type (main riders by central/main or other forms; likewise for Secondary and Other Riders; Kaijin, Rider Machines, Accessory Sets and a few others). It's mostly complete, but could still use a bit of cleanup.
- Ghost Eyecons sandbox - an alternate style of the Ghost Eyecons page, using the "Tabber" coding. At the moment, it relies on pre-release information, some of which is unconfirmed. (Note: Upkeep of this page has been discontinued, as its style and contents have been replicated on the main Eyecons page.)
- Gimmick figures sandbox - a listing of tables and related data for seven of the nine gimmick figure lines (as of "Ghost"). This includes an alternate version of the Arms Change page, but leaves out Decade's "Final Form Ride" and Ghost's "Ghost Change" lines, since they already have individual pages.
