Kamen Rider (仮面ライダー, Kamen Raidā), later retitled as New Kamen Rider (仮面ライダー(新), Kamen Raidā Shin) and also known as Skyrider (スカイライダー, Sukairaidā), is a Japanese tokusatsu television series created by Shotaro Ishinomori and the sixth program in the Kamen Rider Series. The series was produced by Toei Company. The series aired every Friday at 7:00 PM on MBS from October 5, 1979 to October 10, 1980.
The 1979 series was initially intended as a reboot of the original 1971 series of the same name, going back to the basic, essential themes established in that show, but eventually it was established that all the previous Kamen Rider shows were canonical to it, with previous Riders appearing.
