Kamen Rider Drive is the 2014-2015 series of the popular Kamen Rider Series, and the 16th "Hesei Series". The biggest change for the series is that the titular Kamen Rider has traded in the franchise's iconic motorcycle in favor of a car, and has been said to be "Kamen Rider meets Knight Rider". Furthermore, the series is said to be a turning point for the franchise as the Hesei Series has now exceeded the Showa Series in terms of Rider count.
Kamen Rider Drive is written by Riku Sanjo and directed by Ryuta Tasaki, the same team that brought us the fan-favorite Kamen Rider W. Furthermore, the actor who played Kamen Rider Eternal in Kamen Rider W, Mitsuru Matsuoka, will be providing the series' theme song "SURPRISE-DRIVE".
Plot
Cast
Shinnosuke Tomari/Kamen Rider Drive: The protagonist, a rookie member of the "Special Unit" branch of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Once an elite cop, he suffered a set-back after a fellow cop was incapacitated. Now, as Kamen Rider Drive, he works to defend Tokyo from the threat of the Roymyuudo.
Kiriko Shijima: The female lead, a fellow cop of the "Special Unit" branch of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, she is strong and dedicated to her job, but has a 'robotic' personality that can be quite frightening. She's one of the few who knows the true identity of Kamen Rider Drive.
Genpachirou Otta: A member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he serves as a liaison between the Special Unit and the Main Branch. A trustworthy and hardworking detective, he considers the Special Unit a complete waste of time and continuously mocks them. Underneath his hard outer shell, however, is a kind and caring man who looks after others.
Jun Honganji: The section chief of the "Special Unit" branch of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he's a straight-laced leader with a strong belief in feng shui and fortune telling, to the point of always wearing a tie matching that day's lucky color.
Rinna Sawagami: An honorary member of the "Special Unit" branch of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, she's a young and brilliant scientist studying the Roymyuudo. She's also single, fellas.
Kyuu Saijoi: An honorary member of the "Special Unit" branch of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he's skilled in digital and information gathering technology, but is a bit of an otaku with a dangerous love of the occult.
Heart: The leader of the Roymyuudo.
Brain: The second-in-command of the Roymyuudo, skilled in data analysis. He considers Drive to be the #1 threat to the Roymyuudo's existence.
Chase: A lady killer who works as a hitman, he serves as Drives main rival and can transform into "Mashin Chaser", capable of using his own brand of Shift Cars to use the power of the Roymyuudo. He rides a motorcyle known as "Shinigami", although it is still unknown if he is considered a 'Kamen Rider'.
Gear
Drive's Belt is known as the "Drive Driver" (aka Mr. Belt), and is voiced by Chris Peppler (Crazy Taxi's Gus), and works in tandem with the Shift Brace. By inserting a Shift Car, Kamen Rider Drive can transform into one of three (at this point) Types: Type Speed (default), Type Wild, or Type Technique. Furthermore, other Shift Cars can also change the Tire on the front of Drive, giving him new attacks. Any of the main three Types can be combined with the sub Types, thus allowing for countless combinations.
Kamen Rider Drive is also assisted by his trusty car, Tridoron, which helps him combat evil. Furthermore, like Drive himself, Tridoron can also transform through the use of Shift Cars into new forms depending on the situation. This tag-team combination of a man and his car cannot be stopped!
