Kodansha Kamen Rider franchise publications

Overview

Kodansha announced the release of two major publications to coincide with the upcoming series ‘Kamen Rider Myce’ and the franchise’s 55th anniversary in 2026.

The first publication, ‘Kamen Rider Myce & All Kamen Riders Secret Encyclopedia’, offers details on the new series—including the ‘Myce Driver’ and ‘Ride Eggs’—alongside a retrospective of 43 major riders from 1971 to 2026.

The second release, a 400-page color volume titled ‘TV Magazine Special Edition: Kamen Rider Showa 46–48 Kodansha Collection Ultimate Photo Book’, features rare still photographs from the original 1971–1973 series. This collection includes battle scenes, behind-the-scenes shots, and candid photography of monsters captured by photographers Yasushi Oshima and Koji Oshima, covering the series through the final Gel-Shocker arc.
