After the recent SEGA ads I figured it was only a matter of time before Fujioka got his son a job on Kamen Rider. Seems like he's playing Hongou for the 1971 segments, which is gonna be weird since he doesn't really look like him all that much.

Also, sorry to nitpick, but Hongou didn't do his iconic RIDER HENSHIN until episode 53, well into 1972. (Although there's a precedent. The 1971 bit of Let's Go Kamen Rider was full of stuff from MUCH later in the show.)
Seen:
Super Sentai: Fiveman onwards
Kamen Rider: Ichigou-Skyrider, all the Heisei/Reiwa series except the American shows.
Precure: DokiDoki-Go Pri
Metal Heroes: Gavan
Other: Spiderman, Power Rangers

I think it's weird because Maito doesn't look anything like his dad. Why doesn't he go by Might?

Still, it's a bit fun to see a little nepotism, since passing something down from father to son is a very old school hero concept
