The Kamen Riders (Japanese: 仮面ライダー, Hepburn: Kamen Raidā, Masked Riders) are the titular group of fictional superpowered characters that appear in the Kamen Rider Series. They usually take the form of insect-resembling, full-face helmeted individuals who are enhanced by the powers given to them. These powers are accessed by transforming from their day-to-day human guises into their costumed forms.
