After getting rumors about the possible staff and cast members, Uchusen Magazine has just released (which was later posted on Sanshiki's blog who placed the "watermarks") the list of official cast members and staff along with the story of the upcoming 13th Heisei Kamen Rider Series and the 40th Anniversary Kamen Rider Series, Kamen Rider Fourze!
Kamen Rider Fourze is actually an experiment trying out two things, outer space and school drama. Gentaro Kisaragi, a new transfer student at Amanogawa Academy says "I will become friends with everyone" on his first day and creates the "Kamen Rider" club. That's how he came to know Kengo Kasei. Kenho is the first one to have the Fourze Driver but gives it to Gentaro which drastically changes his life.
Kamen Rider Fourze can insert different Astro Switches into the Fourze Driver to affect his legs and arms. Fourze will be completely different from the rest of the Riders and the magazine is not telling a lot as for the moment and only leaves us with questions such as, "Will he travel out to space with the Rocket Arm or something else?" and "What are Fourze's powers?"
The official staff for the series and cast members are as follows:
Official Cast from left to right: Gentaro Kisaragi (played by Sota Fukushi), Kengo Kasei (Ryuki Takahashi), Yuki Jojima (Fumika Shimizu), Miwa (Rikako Sakata), Hayabusa Daimonji (Justin Tomimori), Yuko Nozama (Shiho), JK/Jake (Shion Tsuchiya), Sarina Sonada (Yuka Konan), Chuta Osugi (Ungirl's Tanaka Takushi) and the Mysterious Man (Shingo Tsurumi).
It is said that the names of the secondary characters in the series are play on the names of the Showa Kamen Riders. For example, Kengo Kasei name can also be read as Kengo Utahoshi an anagram of Takeshi Hongo aka Kamen Rider 1. In Hayabusa Daimonji's case is a case of kanji swapped around to form the name, Hayato Ichimonji aka Kamen Rider 2. JK might mean Jin Keisuke aka Kamen Rider X and obviously, Nozama is just the name, Amazon rearranged.
Kamen Rider Fourze also celebrates the 50th Anniversary since Yuri Gagarin went to space. Yuri Gagarin is the first man who went into outer space. They basically want you to see Fourze as Yuri, since he's the first Rider to go out to space.
