Serija Kamen Rider (Kamen Raida Shirizu), poznata i kao serija o maskiranim jahačima je japanska medijska franšiza superheroja koja se sastoji od tokusatsu, televizijskih programa za muškarce, filmova i filmova koje su kreirali umetnik mange Šotaro Išinomori. Kamen Rider je prikazan kao superheroj koji vozi motocikl sa maskom u motivu insekata koji se bori protiv superzlikovaca, često poznatih kao kaijin (guài rén, misteriozni ljudi).
Franšiza je počela 1971. televizijskom serijom Kamen Rider, koja je pratila studenta Takeshija Honga i njegovu potragu da porazi organizaciju Shocker koja osvaja svet. Originalna serija je iznedrila televizijske i filmske nastavke i pokrenula Drugi Kaiju bum (takođe poznat kao Henshin Boom) na japanskoj televiziji tokom ranih 1970-ih, utičući na žanrove superheroja i akcione avanture u Japanu.
Bandai poseduje prava na igračke za Kamen Rider u Japanu i drugim azijskim regionima. Bluefin Distribution, podružnica Bandai Namco-a, distribuira Kamen Rider robu u Severnoj Americi.

Kamen Rider media generally features a motorcycle-riding superhero with an insect motif who fights supervillains, often known as kaijin (怪人, mystery people).
The franchise began in 1971 with the Kamen Rider television series, which followed college student Takeshi Hongo and his quest to defeat the world-conquering Shocker organization. The original series spawned television and film sequels and launched the Second Kaiju Boom (also known as the Henshin Boom) on Japanese television during the early 1970s, impacting the superhero and action-adventure genres in Japan.
