For the people who don\'t know, it\'s based on a comic hero in Japan called Kamen-Rider.
The series has been going for over 40 years with a bunch of sequals, remakes and spin-offs.

The story is about an evil clan who plan on taking over the world who create an army of human animal hybrid cyborgs to attack humanity. The main character was a victim from these experiments and was made into a human grasshopper hybrid. Before the evil scientsts wiped his memory, he manages to escape and becomes a fugitive. He can change into his grasshopper costume at will with the help of his belt. Manages to get a supercharged motorcycle and fights against the evil forces that harm mankind...
The one Yasushi Nirasawa designed is based off a spin-off straight for video movie called Shin:Kamen Rider.
The only Rider of the series which wasn\'t a cyborg but a Bug humanoid.
