Games, Episode Rumors & Fourze Updates

As Kamen Rider OOO is close to its end, more rumors coming from 2ch about Kamen Rider Fourze's upcoming episodes surfaced the web! And as a bonus, Kamen Rider Fourze is part of the All Kamen Rider Generation game, and we have the codes to get this guy!

Please take rumors with a grain of salt!

Episode 1: Youth Switch On!
One day, an unthinkable bad boy transfers to Amanogawa High School. He aims to befriend every single student attending to the school. But the school is filled with weird people and this task is harder than it seems. He's suddenly called out by his classmate, Kengo Utahoshi.

Episode 2: I'm Kamen Rider!
After Gentaro saved Kengo, he entrusts the Astro Switches to Gentaro. A girl by the name of Yuuki Joujima catches a glimpse of Gentaro fighting as Fourze. Later, Gentaro is taken to outer space.

Episode 3: Let's Fly, Launcher!
Gentaro creates the Kamen Rider club. However, Kamen Rider Fourze itself is supposed to be a secret. Thus he's not even allowed to say that Fourze is a Kamen Rider. Gentaro who's not happy about that decides to hold an assembly in front of the whole school to spread the word of his club. A mysterious man holding a switch was seen standing in the corner of the gym.

In the game, All Kamen Rider: Rider Generation, you can unlock Kamen Rider Fourze by entering this code: X2F8-4V75-563H-7833. Also, a clip surfaced online which featured his three Modules and their specific sounds, namely: Rocket, Drill and Launcher.


The clip features the tag team between OOO and Fourze in which at the end, OOO ends the game in OOO Putotyra Combo. Too bad, Fourze doesn't have any special skills.

Kamen Rider Fourze's Movie Debut!

Here's a clip of Kamen Rider Fourze's movie debut as seen in the Kamen Rider OOO Summer Movie TV Special! In this clip, OOO is in a pinch while fighting Gara and out of nowhere, the new Rider, Fourze appears!


Wondering where is the fight scene? Sorry, that's the only thing that the TV special had.

Kamen Rider OOO x Fourze Movie Wars Teaser

The first teaser of the upcoming Kamen Rider OOO x Fourze Movie Wars movie has been released. The film is said to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the franchise is set for a December release.


Is it me or it seems that Movie Wars is now an official Toei movie tradition similar to Sentai's Versus movies. It is said that the film will be released this December 10th.

Urban Legend, ORB-40F and More Fourze News

As Kamen Rider Fourze is close to its premiere, more info about this series has been revealed which confirms A LOT of past rumors. Which includes the Kamen Rider urban legend and Kengo getting the Fourze Driver and the 40 Astro Switches from his father.

Kamen Rider Fourze’s base form is called "Base States," which is accessed when Gentaro uses the space energy inside the Astro Switches. It’s stats are as followed:

• Height: 200cm

• Weight: 95kg

• Punch strength: 2.1t

• Kick strength: 6.3t

• Jump power: 20m in one jump

• Speed: 100m in 6.2s

• Special Attack: Rocket Drill Kick (Stratosphere Kick): 15t

Kamen Rider Fourze’s exclusive bike is the Machine Masshigler. Although, that’s just what Gentaro named it. It’s official name is "ORB-40F." It uses hydrogen as fuel and doesn’t release any CO2. The Astro Switches are the sources of Fourze’s powers. These switches hold an unknown energy called "Cosmic Energy."

• Fourze’s Module 1, the Rocket Module: A rocket is equipped on his right arm. By enabling the Exhaust Thruster, Fourze can add up another 4 t to his punches.

• Fourze’s Module 2, the Launcher Module: He can shoot 5 missiles from his right leg.

• Fourze’s Module 3, the Drill Module: It’s equipped on his left leg. It’s spins around 200 rpm.

• Fourze’s Module 4, the Radar Module: By using this module, Fourze can give his Launcher Module homing missiles. He’s also able to reflect certain waves.

• Fourze’s Module 5, the Magic Hand Module: The Magic Hand is equipped on his right hand, which gives him an extra 10 m reach. The end of the Magic Hand is called the “End Effect Pliers” which can lift up any object up to 6 t.

The Zodiarts use switches that are very different from Fourze’s. These are called “Zodiart Switches”. A human can use this to turn into a Zodiart. The Scorpion Zodiart is actually one of the stronger monsters, who suddenly shows up in Amanogawa High School.

In episode 1 and 2, someone will use the Orion Switch to turn into the Orion Zodiart. He uses a giant club called Lemnos and a shield called Chios, named after two Greek islands.

Kengo Utahoshi received the Fourze Driver along with 40 Astro Switches from his dying father. He wishes to fight against the Zodiarts with the Fourze Driver, but due to his weak body he’s unable to fight. Kengo eventually gives Gentaro Kisaragi the belt when they meet. The heroine Yuki Joujima is actually Gentaro’s childhood friend who’s Kengo’s classmate. She calls herself a "space nerd" and Japan’s happiest schoolgirl.

As a bonus, Souta Fukishi who plays Gentaro Kisaragi mentioned in an interview that the hit American TV show, Glee is one of the inspirations of the series. Also, he mentions that this show will have a lot of comedy. Guess I will expect that bullies will throw slushies at them or them having a musical episode!

Rocket Drill Kick, Zodiarts and More Fourze Scans!

Now that Kamen Rider OOO is now close to its final battle, more scans for our next Rider, Kamen Rider Fourze (again, its pronounced as FOR-ZAY or Forty) has surfaced the web which depicts the first Zodiarts that Fourze will fight, his other Switches and of course, how to do his transformation pose! SPACE, HELL YEAH  (UCHUU KITA)!!

A scene from the upcoming Kamen Rider OOO WONDERFUL Shogun and 21 Medals movie in which as seen at the bottom of the scan, Gentaro first appeared out of suit before transforming into Fourze. Also, to those who are wondering about our top pic, it's Fourze's Rider Kick called, Rocket Drill Kick which he kicked the Orion Zodiarts.

On the left is the scan of Fourze with his bike, Machine Masshigurar and it seems he is planning to ram it on the Orion Zodiarts! On the right is the scan of his two Astro Switches, Rocket and Drill Switch.

A scan of Fourze's two other Switches. Switch 5 is called, Magic Hand and Switch 4 is the Radar Arm.

Switch 2, which depicts the Fourze's Rocket Launcher legs, and to those who are wondering where are the missiles from his rocket launcher, it is found on the scan above it. I so love the missile design!

Fourze vs. Scorpio Zodiart

Lastly, here's how to do Fourze's henshin pose, which according to some comments I read is so much Gurren Lagann inspired. So anybody here is now really excited about Fourze?

Foodroids, More Switches and More Fourze Toys!

If you went crazy yesterday about Kamen Rider Fourze's upcoming forms and weapons, you will certainly get crazier as we get introduced to Fourze's gadgets, the Foodroids.

Last two Kamen Rider series, we go Memory Gadgets for W, and Candroids for OOO, now we got Foodroids for Fourze. Foodroids resemble a typical fastfood meal. The first three revealed are "Burger Meal", "Potachokin" and "Furaseki" which transforms from burger, french fries and softdrinks cup to helper robots.

In addition, here are some of the additional soon to be released Kamen Rider Fourze merchandises:

We have a nice big spread featuring the DX Fourze Driver. It will feature a 7 color LED in the main base, with four different switch spots for the four limbs of his body. Pull the lever to transform. To activate the sounds, press down on the switch you are activating to hear “_____ On!” depending on what you picked. Third, press the switch AND pull the lever to activate the final attack, known as the Limit Break. The belt will retail for ¥6,500 and will be released September 3rd.

Next up, in the corner, is your new crack and stress inducing item, the Astro Switch Sets! Shown are four Sets, each with two Switches and a Ganbaride card. Due to the size of the scan, it’s hard to tell what Switches come with which set, but stay tuned for further news. Each set is ¥750, and will be released in September, October, November, and December.

Next up we have a nice spread of what sort of hellish gimmick you’ll be falling into this time! The left shows the four main Astro Switches, and what weapons they provide. The right shows the main Astro Switches again, some Candy Toys, an example of the Module Change Switch, and a little graph that shows the fact that Bandai are greedy little people that want to sell even MORE than OOO did. Yeah, good luck with that.

Next up is the typical action figure line for this series. We’ve had WFC, we’ve had OCC, now we have Fourze Module Change Series also known as FMCS. The first release will be Fourze Base States, featuring Fourze with the main four Switches. He will be released in September. The second release will be Elek States, his electric form. This one will include four new weapons, including Billy the Rod, which we’ll look at later. He will release in October. The third due up is Fire States, coming with four more modules, including the Hi-Hack Gun. Fire States will release in November. Each FMCS announced retails for ¥2800.

At the bottom is the Fourze Rider Hero Series figures, the first three being Fourze Base States, Fourze Elek States, and Fourze Fire States. Each RHS figure retails for ¥800. Base will release in September, Elek in October, and Fire in November. Also hanging out in September is the Punch Fighter for Fourze. It’s a punching bag that gets released every year. It’s ¥2300.

Lastly, we will get Kamen Rider Fourze's answer to OOO's Medal Holder, the Astro Switch Gaban. Anyway, the case opens up to hold 10 Astro Switches, and includes 1 Astro Switch with the case. And since Fourze is said to have 40 Switches, expect him to carry four of these.

States, More Switches and More Fourze!

With Kamen Rider Fourze making his presence felt, more rumors updates about the upcoming toys which reveals interesting items regarding Foodroids, States. Modules and more Astro Switches. Also, along with it is the audio preview for the series!

A rumored toy listing surfaced the internet a while ago and based on the toy listings, it seems that the pocket of most collectors will burn. Asides from the DX Fourze Driver, the said catalog reveals that this season will have more robot assistants in the form of the Foodroids which was based on "space food." The Foodroids that were listed are: Bagameal, Potachokin (a combination with the words, potato chips and 'chokin' which means 'bank savings') and Furasheki.

In addition, it is also revealed that Fourze is just in his Base States and based on the sound of the later toys found in the list may sound like the name of the "forms" this season. Other States that Fourze might transform into include: Electric States and Fire States which also comes with its own respective Module, our possible base weapon for each form in this series. The finisher for each Module is called a Limit Break. The Module for each States are: Billy the Rod for the Electric States and Hi-Hackgun for the Fire States. Fourze Base States along with their corresponding Modules is to be released this August, Electric States on October and Fire States on November.

Other toys to be released asides from what is mentioned are the Punch Fighter for August, Power Dicer and Machine Masshigler for November. In the scan, the Power Dicer combines with Fourze's Rider Machine to form a AutoVaijin-like robot that will aid Fourze in battle! It was later confirmed on the tv-asahi website that you will get a special Ganbaride card named, Kamen Rider Fourze Base States in an event, chances that this toy listing is indeed authentic. More on the Switches, accordingly, Fourze will get a total of 40 Astro Switches!


On top is the audio preview of Kamen Rider Fourze which features the instrumental version of the series' opening theme along with the narration by Nobuyuki Hiyama who did most of the monster of the week voices for Kamen Rider and Super Sentai and did quite notable roles in anime such as B't X's Teppei and recently, Highschool of the Dead's Kouta Hirano. Other notable sounds include the robotic voices for each Astro Switch, namely: Rocket On, Launcher On, Drill On, and Radar On.

Kamen Rider Fourze premieres in Japanese TV this September 4th on tv-asahi.

UPDATE: Placed the actual Toy Catalogs. Yes, we will have potato chips as robot assistants along with pack lunch.

Kamen Rider Ganbaride Trailer... with Fourze!

We have previously reported that Kamen Rider Fourze's Astro Switches will replace Kamen Rider OOO's O-Medals for the Ganbaride game and just recently, the first promo video for the new and improved Kamen Rider Ganbaride game has been revealed!


Asides from the use of the Astro Switches you can now have 3 vs. 3 fights! In the trailer, we saw Kamen Rider 1, OOO and W versus Rising Ultimate Kuuga, Shadow Moon and Shocker Rider in which at the end, our heroes won. At the end of the video, they revealed how Fourze will look like in the game and the new Ganbaride machine during Fourze's duration.

New Actress and More Astro Switches?

After meeting most of the cast in the previous Kamen Rider Fourze press conference, another actress is set to appear in the series as well! Also, the short teaser of more Kamen Rider Fourze toy catalogs!

Adding up to the list of students of Amonagawa Academy is Jun Shigeno (played by Arisa Fujisaki) and is one of Miu Kazashiro's followers aka one of the other cheerleader girls. Her name is based on Shigeru Jou aka Kamen Rider Stronger in which her family name can be read as "Shigeru." Also, something that I missed in the previous post about the names, Miu Kazashio's family name is based on Shiro Kazami aka Kamen Rider V3. So the two cheerleaders are named after two of the most badass Showa Riders of all time? Cool.

Also, on top is the first scan of the toy catalogs which will be released later this week. Based on the scan, it seems that Fourze will have seven more Astro Switches! Could it be the mysterious 6th Switch we saw in one leaked scene from the series?

Fourze's Astro Switches, High School and Lady Gaga

With the revelation of Kamen Rider Fourze days ago, someone has leaked more images of the said series which reveals the first two monsters that Fourze will fight, what will Amanogawa Academy will look like and yes, the first leaked images of the other three Astro Switches!

This image features all four Astro Switches in action, namely the Rocket Switch which he can use for flying, the Launcher Switch in which his right leg will have a missile launch pad, the Drill Switch which appears on his left leg which he can use for his Rider Kick and lastly, the Radar Switch which appears on his left arm, its function is still unknown. The image also features the first two monsters that Fourze will face.

In these new images (click the image to enlarge), we saw that Amanogawa Academy is your average high school in which that the sports heroes and cheerleaders are at the top of the food chain in the academy and the nerds and geeks are the bottom feeders... along with the goths. Interesting to note that if you zoom in one of the pictures of the Switches, you can see a switch with the label, "6". It is unknown if it will be his own individual weapon or will be part of his armaments.

More on the series, it is said that Seiji Takaiwa will be Kamen Rider Fourze's suit actor and compared to the previous years in which the theme song for the series is being played during the official press conference, the theme song this year was kept secret. Rumor has it that popular pop singer, Lady Gaga is said to sing the theme song!

Lady Gaga is signed on Avex in Japan and currently, she is pretty active in Japan. Note that Avex usually provides the theme songs for Kamen Rider. It is also to note that Lady Gaga's half Japanese stylist talked about Kamen Rider once. It also fits together since Yuri Gagarin → Lady Gaga. This would explain why it wasn't revealed in the press conference. Turns out that DecaEnd was just playing around, ignore the Lady Gaga thing and let's move on.

Kamen Rider Fourze in Action... with Merchandise!

Kamen Rider Fourze's press conference yesterday is just recently on Japanese TV news! Asides from clips coming from the press conference, the first exclusive footage for the series was shown which includes our look on Fourze's fighting style and yes, our look on outer space.

The story is about 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 Press Conference, More About the Switches & Character Profiles

The press conference for Kamen Rider Fourze happened yesterday and asides from that, TV-Asahi's official website for Kamen Rider Fourze is opened today which includes the story (which we knew days ago), official character info and some details regarding each Switch!

Kamen Rider Fourze's transformation device is the Fourze Driver, a bulky belt which has four slots for his Astro Switches. Each Switch can affect Fourze's arms and legs and each of them represents the following: Right arm - Rocket, Right leg - Launcher, Left arm - Radar, and Left leg - Drill.


In the press conference, we get to see Fourze in action and here the belt's henshin sound which goes like, "3, 2, 1" then Gentaro will yell the word, "Henshin!" to tranform into this Rider. He then fights the monster and after the fight he said, "Argh! I am late!" Such a typical high school student.

From left to right: Tomoko, Sarina, Miwa, Shun, Chuuta, Kengo, Gentaro, Yuuki and The Man with Red Eyes
Gentaro Kisaragi: The main character of the series, second year high school student who recently transferred to Amanogawa Academy. A bad boy rocking a short pompadour hairstyle. He declares that he will become friends with everyone in the school. He meets Kengo Utahoshi as if it was destined for them to meet. Gentaro receives the Fourze Driver and starts the Kamen Rider Club in school. He seems to be an idiotic character.

Kengo Utahoshi: The main character's partner, second year. A young man who had the mysterious switches and the key person to the whole story. His locker seems to be distorting space and he's somehow able to reach the moon base, "Rabbit Hatch" through the locker. He's also able to pull out the super bike "Machine Masshigura." He might be physically weak, but he has strong heart full of will.

Yuuki Joujima: The heroine of the story, second year. She's Gentaro's childhood friend. A bright and cheerful high school student, she refers herself as a "space nerd." She usually heads over to JAXA after school. JAXA is like some space thing in Japan. She's the only one that Kengo can actually trust, Kengo shared his secret about his special locker to her.

Miu Kazashiro: Third year. She's somewhat the queen of the school as she is a cheerleader also, the daughter of a rich family. Ever since she was born, she was always treated like the Queen Bee. No matter where she goes in school, her two sidekicks will always follow her. She's a beuatiful girl with pride.

Jun Daimonji: Third year. The captain of the American Football team. There's a hierarchy going on in Amanogawa Academy, with sports-oriented guys on the top and they are usually bullies, referred as jocks. Jun is standing on the absolute top.

Tomoko Nozama: First year. She's the goth girl with black make up under her eyes. She always brings her Tablet PC with her and has a weird laughter. She seems to fixate and obsess over various things, but the details are unknown.

JK (Jake): First year. Jake is the information provider of the school. He easily detects danger and is a coward who always runs away.

Sarina Sonoda: Gentaro's homeroom teacher and the teacher of classical literature. She's young and beautiful, every student loves her. Although, she has trouble with Gentaro and Kengo.

Chuuta Oosugi: The geography teacher. He's middle-aged man with bad looks and personality. No one seems to like him. He seems to be trying to get it with Sonoda, but it just won't happen.

The Man with Red Eyes: A mysterious man who caused some incident and has the Zodiarts Switches. He seems to have a connection with the school, but he's a complete mystery.

Also, Sota Fukushi who played Gentaro Kisaragi/Kamen Rider Fourze's Japanese Wikipedia entry states that he auditioned for Kamen Rider for his parents who are big Kamen Rider fans and when he told them that he got the role, his parents are freaking out and told their friends that their son is the new Rider! Kamen Rider Fourze will premiere on September 4th, replacing Kamen Rider OOO.

Kamen Rider Fourze Plot, Staff & Cast Revealed!

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!

The High School Rider who is challenging the Universe is born!!

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:

• Original Creator: Shotaro Ishinomori

• Script: Kazuki Nakashima (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Oh! Edo Rocket, Re: Cutie Honey, Nodame Cantabile: Finale, Chu-Bra!!, a Crayon Shin-chan Movie and Kamen Rider W's Yesterday Arc)

• Director: Koichi Sakamoto (Kamen Rider W FOREVER, Ultra Ginga Dentsetsu)

• Action Director: Tsuyoshi Miyazaki (Japan Action Enterprise)

• Special Effect Director: Butsuda Hiroshi (SFX Institute)

• Producer: Kengo Motoi (TV Asahi), Tsukada Hideaki, Kazuhiro Takahashi (Toei)

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.

OOO Ends, Summer Movie and More Fourze Rumors

As Kamen Rider OOO is about to end and with Kamen Rider Fourze replacing him, more rumors surfaced about his upcoming cameo in the Kamen Rider OOO Summer Movie, Kamen Rider OOO: WONDERFUL Shogun and 21 Medals along with some rumors about the upcoming series itself!

But before with the major Fourze rumors, here are some rumors about Kamen Rider OOO which involves some show rumors and more OOO WONDERFUL rumors!

Take these rumors with a grain of salt.

• Lost Ankh absorbs Ankh, he fights Kamen Rider OOO PuToTyra Combo. Eiji manages to seperate the two Ankhs, but loses 2 purple Core Medals. Maki becomes half Greeed while Lost Ankh becomes nothing but medals. Uva comes back, more Greeed fighting.

Kamen Rider OOO WONDERFUL rumors:

• Kamen Rider OOO WONDERFUL is AU or alternate universe. BuraKaWani shows up halfway. And, by the powers of the medals, all the combos appear to fight Gara, while the mystery of the TaToBa Combo is revealed. So it is kinda similar with Hibiki's movie in which the history portion is canon while the events that happened in the present are AU.

• By the end of the summer movie, Kamen Rider OOO is fighting Gara's monster form. OOO is having trouble, a guy in a school uniform shows up and transforms. He is Kamen Rider Fourze.

• Kamen Rider OOO and Fourze manages to corner Gara, but she transforms into her complete form. Creates a space Yummy, Fouze and the Yummy goes out to space.

Also, here is the said sequence on how Fourze will appear in the said movie.

Eiji is having trouble fighting Gara and Kisaragi is standing there watching. Kisaragi transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze and instantly goes with a rocket punch. But Kisaragi isn't able to control Fourze properly, he flies all over the place before actually landing a punch.

He starts showing off some of his switches and powers up his arm. Kisaragi goes to Eiji, picks him up and throws him to Gara, landing on and crushing her. Suddenly, a girl calls Kisaragi and he says "Ah crap. I totally forgot the club activities." Kisaragi leaves and it's not explained what he was doing there.

Gara is lying there and is practically dead. She takes a couple of Core Medals and becomes a giant monster. Ankh manages to borrow a few Core Medals from the other Greeeds. Eiji goes Kamen Rider OOO GataKiriBa Combo, clones himself and he starts combo changing into the other forms.

Finally, here are the Fourze rumors that you are waiting to read!

• The story starts with an accident at Gentaro Kisaragi's school, Amanogawa (Trans. Milky Way) Academy. Gentaro is somewhat of an delinquent, thus the other classmates tends to not socialize with him. One day, a mysterious life form is born and causes monsters to be created from a space energy.

• A classmate's dying father created the belt.

• The producer is Hideaki Tsukada (Gekiranger, Dekaranger, Kamen Rider W). The writers are Riku Sanjo (Kamen Rider W, Digimon Xros Wars) and someone experienced with Super Sentai but have never written for Kamen Rider.

Kamen Rider Fourze Soars in Space!

Switch On! 3, 2, 1, Transform! (said to be what the belt will say... or maybe his henshin phrase)

Days ago, we saw a couple of concept arts for Kamen Rider Fourze along with its official logo and just recently, the very first set of scans for this new hero has surfaced online! The scans also confirms that Kamen Rider OOO will last for only 48 episodes.

The identity of Kamen Rider Fourze is Gentaro Kisaragi (said to be played by Sota Fukushi not the previously reported Ryuki Takahashi), an Amanokawa Academy second year, section B high school student and basing it on his hairdo, he is a delinquent or better known in Japan as a Yankee. He will fight monsters who were created by a mysterious space energy, thus there are instances that he will fight them in space, thus confirming the "astronaut/space" motif.

Fourze has four switches in his Fourze Driver which he uses to change his weapons (and as seen in one scan, uses his literal Rocket Punch!) and is said to gain an addition of eight switches as the series progressed... which will be compatible with the Ganbaride game of course. Fourze has a total of four weapons slots, which is basically similar to the buttons of the Playstation, namely: Circle, Square, Cross and Triangle. Rocket Switch is Switch 1 that uses the Circle slot.

The third switch from the left should be the main "Henshin Switch," it is originally black, but the Fourze suit will appears on it after transformation. We assume that the text, "Switch On! 3, 2, 1, Henshin!" is the transformation sound. Asides from his belt, the name of his Rider Machine is Machine Masshigura, the word "masshigura" means "full speed."

Kamen Rider Fourze will make his debut in the upcoming Kamen Rider OOO: WONDERFUL Shogun and 21 Core Medals film in which he will fight the ancient alchemist named, Gara alongside with OOO. His Rider Kick will be a drill by activating Switch 3, which is for Drill.

UPDATE: Also, here is the rumored summary of the first episode which continues the numbered naming episode scheme. But before that, here is the cast rumors from Yobuko. Asides from the semi-confirmed Sota Fukushi as Gentaro Kisaragi, Ryuki Takahashi will play as Kengo Kensei, Fumika Shimizu as Yuuki Joujima/Joushima, Rikako Sakata as Miwa and two characters with unknown actors named JK (Jake) and Tomoko Yazawa.

Episode 1: Him→Me→Switch→Transform
Gentaro Kisaragi, a student in Amanogawa Academy High School's 2B, is suddenly attacked by his teacher who was covered in mysterious space energy.
He seems to be in an absolute pinch. But out of nowhere, the transfer student Kengo Kasei hands him some switches and a mysterious belt.
