I'm pretty sure he also created Stronger (or credited with Co-creation alongside Ishinomori).
It's a shame. Shigeru Araki passed away last year as well.

His contributions to Goranger and Stronger were important for the success those two series enjoyed.
May he R.I.P.
May he R.I.P.

Stronger, Goranger, co-created Kamen Rider 1971, the list goes on and on.Catastrophe wrote:I'm pretty sure he also created Stronger (or credited with Co-creation alongside Ishinomori).
Quick edit: Igadevil's write-up about him is a pretty good read.

Did not know he co created Kamen Rider in general. Kikaider and technically Sentai as well. Man. I'm attempting to visualise my childhood without the existence of this man.

I was saddened to hear of this yesterday. I'm glad you guys are talking about it.
Maybe more people will go and watch some showa series.
