Kamen Rider Agito ( Japanese: 仮面ライダーアギト, Hepburn: Kamen Raidā Agito, stylized in English as Masked Rider ΑGITΩ), is the eleventh installment in the popular Kamen Rider tokusatsu franchise. The series represented the 30th anniversary of the Kamen Rider Series.
The series was also a joint collaboration between Asatsu-DK and Toei and was shown on TV Asahi from January 28, 2001, to January 27, 2002. The series served as an indirect sequel to Kamen Rider Kuuga, which this show is set in the same universe as the previous show, and the first Kamen Rider series to not have an ending sequence. The series aired along with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger. The series is airing on Toku after being added to the network in November 2020. [1]
Two years have passed since the Unidentified Lifeform case concluded, a series of mysterious and impossible murders are taking place across the city carried out by unknown beings. A man named Shouichi Tsugami has no memory of who he was, where he came from, or how he came upon his peculiar circumstances to transform into a powerful superhuman, Kamen Rider Agito, whenever in the presence of the beings referred to by the police as the "Unknown". Known as the Lords, these powerful monsters perceived themselves as humanity's defenders and kill certain people in a series of murders that force the police department to make Makoto Hikawa the user of the Kamen Rider G3 powersuit which was modeled after Kamen Rider Kuuga. Shouichi and Makoto, both initially hesitant of the other at first, are joined by Ryō Ashihara, who becomes a pre-Agito known as Kamen Rider Gills and seeks the truth behind his father's suicide. These mysteries and many others collide as the true nature of Agito would ultimately determine the fate of humanity.
The Kamen Rider Agito trademark was registered by Toei on October 16, 2000. [3]
A video game based on the series, developed by KAZe and published by Bandai, was released in Japan on November 29, 2001, for the PlayStation. It is a fighting game.
Agito featured two S.I.C. Hero Saga side stories published in Monthly Hobby Japan magazine. The first was titled Masked Rider ΑGITΩ: Heaven's Door (MASKED RIDER ΑGITΩ -HEAVEN'S DOOR-) and featured a crossover with Kamen Rider 555. It introduces the new characters Mirage Agito (ミラージュアギト, Mirāju Agito) and the Dog Orphnoch (ドッグオルフェノク, Doggu Orufenoku). The story was published from October 2003 to March 2004. Later, in the S.I.C. Hero Saga Vol. 2 book, the elements of 555 were removed from the story and the Dog Orphnoch was changed to the Dog Load (ドッグロード, Doggu Rōdo).
The second S.I.C. Hero Saga story titled Masked Rider ΑGITΩ: Project G1 (MASKED RIDER ΑGITΩ -PROJECT G1-) expands on the story told in Project G4 in showing the G-Series suits Generation 1, Kamen Rider G4-X (仮面ライダーG4-X, Kamen Raidā Jī Fō Ekkusu), Generation 2, and the Road Chaser (ロードチェイサー, Rōdo Cheisā) vehicle. It also features the Hydrozoa Lord (ハイドロゾアロード, Haidorozoa Rōdo) Hydrozoa Tegula (ヒドロゾア・テグラ, Hidorozoa Tegura). The story was published from October 2007 to January 2008.
