I thought the original Rider was a doctor or something? At least super smart?

Takeshi Hongo was a prodigy college biochemistry student at Jounan University's Biochemical Department, in which he also worked alongside Professor Midorikawa. Born on August 15, 1948, Hongo was a young man with an abnormal IQ of 600 as well as amazing physical prowess which attracted the attention of the secret organization Shocker, which planned to bring about a new order to the world, where artificially enhanced beings, both cybernetically and organically, stood at the top of the world.
Super smart is an understatement.

Yeah I can mentally check off Toei film sets now. They should do inception and film inside a plastic lawn furniture warehouse

They are, but there are other options, where they translate or adapt most of the terms and have better quality control.

Fourze was my first and remains my favorite. It's fantastic, but generally very light hearted and set in a high school, so if that's not your thing you might want to start with a different Rider.

and to add context, it was a show made just right after the Tohoku tsunami, so it has that lighthearted, uplifting feel to it
