    Toei Company has provided SciFi Japan with information, high-res photos and a trailer for their latest Kamen Rider movie, MASKED RIDER 1 (????????, Kamen Raidaa 1-go). Based on the original Kamen Rider television series, MASKED RIDER (??????, Kamen Raidaa, 1971-73), the film brings back original stars Hiroshi Fujioka as hero Takeshi Hongo/Masked Rider and Ren Osugi as the villainous Ambassador Hell. For this adventure Masked Rider will have a new "Power Up" form and an upgraded Cyclone motorcycle, and be aided by the heroes of the current Kamen Rider series, KAMEN RIDER GHOST (?????????? Kamen Raidaa Goosuto, 2015-16). MASKED RIDER 1 will open in Japanese cinemas on Saturday, March 26th. STORY 45 years ago, a man named Takeshi Hongo was transformed into a cyborg by the secret organization, Shocker. He escaped to become Shocker`s greatest foe... protecting humanity and fighting for justice as the first Kamen Rider, Masked Rider. While dealing with Shocker overseas, Hongo learns that Mayu Tachibana (Natsumi Okamoto) -- the granddaughter of his late friend and mentor, Tobei Tachibana -- is in danger. Returning to Japan, he crosses paths with Kamen Riders Takeru Tenkuji (Shun Nishime) and Makoto Fukami (Ryosuke Yamamoto), who have discovered that Mayu is being targeted both by Shocker and a new faction of the organization called Nova Shocker.
