Kamen Rider 1 (仮面ライダー1号, Kamen Raidā Ichigō) is a 2016 Japanese film, produced to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Kamen Rider Series and is part of Toei's "Super Hero Year" project.

Plot

Takeshi Hongo (Hiroshi Fujioka), a man transformed by the evil Shocker organization into a cyborg warrior who defected to become Kamen Rider 1, has spent the remainder of his life fighting Shocker as it appears around the world. Forty-five years since his transformation, he has returned to Japan once more to recruit Takeru Tenkūji (Shun Nishime), Kamen Rider Ghost, and Makoto Fukami (Ryosuke Yamamoto), Kamen Rider Specter, in order to help him protect a girl who seems to be crucial to Shocker's plans to resurrect Ambassador Hell. However, the years have not been kind to Hongo, whose cyborg body has become weaker. They must also contend with another evil organization claiming to be Shocker known as Nova Shocker (ノバショッカー, Noba Shokkā). Will this be the final chapter in the story of Takeshi Hongo? Or will it be the prologue of a brand new legend?
