We have reported last time that there are rumors that our next Rider is either named Dragon or Fouze. Just this week, it was reported that the trademark for Kamen Rider 40 (Fouze) has been registered and more rumors about the possible staff and actor for the lead Rider has surfaced the web!
Accordingly, Kamen Rider Fouze will be stylized as Kamen Rider 40, with "40" be read as "Fouze," "Four-zay" or something along those lines. First is the rumored staff for the said series.
Producer: Naomi Takebe (Kamen Rider OOO)
Director: Kyota Kawasaki (Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna and Madan Senki Ryukendo)
Writer: Chiaki J. Konaka (Digimon Tamers, Hellsing and Ultraman Gaia) & Sho Aikawa (Kamen Rider Blade and Kamen Rider Decade Episodes 1-12)
Music: Toshihiko Sahashi (Kamen Rider Kuuga, Kamen Rider Agito, Kamen Rider Hibiki, Kamen Rider Den-O, a bunch of anime series)
Character Design: Keita Amemiya (Kamen Rider J, Kamen Rider ZO, Shin: A Kamen Rider Prologue, Garo, Hakaider)
Asides from that, someone posted an image of the possible cast for the series. It was later disclosed since it was confirmed that it was fake. For those interested, you can check it by clicking this link. Now for the real casting rumors.
D-BOYS' Ryuki Takahashi (the one with glasses) make-up artist, Masayuki Terata posted something about his blog that Ryuki will be getting a big role. It's still not publicly announced, so all he could say was "it's pretty much a national hero." He mentions that it's a good looking hero. As we all know, most Riders tend to be these "good looking" men. For some reason, Masayuki had to edit his blog post and delete the hero part.
Other D-BOYS' members who ended up in tokusatsu are: Kamen Rider Hibiki and Kamen Rider Den-O's Yuuichi Nakamura (Kyosuke Kiriya and Yuuto Sakurai/Kamen Rider Zeronos), Kiva's Koji Seto (Wataru Kurenai/Kamen Rider Kiva), Go-onger's Masahiro Usui (Hant Jo/Go-onGreen), and Gekiranger's Hirofumi Araki (Black Lion Rio) and Hiroaki Suzuki (Jan Kandou/GekiRed).
It is rumored that Kamen Rider 40's protagonist, Kamen Rider Fouze is a high school student who suffers from memory loss who inherited a Rider System that his father left to fight the Noa. Considering his looks, it is possible that this guy might be our Fouze.
Other rumors about Kamen Rider 40 includes that his motif based on astronauts and can't use the full power of his Rider System and only uses a small portion which limits him to use only four forms. His belt allows him to change his arm and weapons. It give him rockets as weapons or even turn his arm into a manipulator.
