cypsiman2 replied to your post “I just realized to ask, but how many Kamen Rider or tokusatsu fans who...”
I have not.
OK so
if you are not in the know, Igadevil ran this site called igadevil.com, which was basically an extensive Kamen Rider info guide that then became a blog about Rider
Since Igadevil himself is an old-school fan and has ready access to a lot of the original Japanese sources, both the series guide & the blog are pretty good and is very informative on various aspects of Kamen Rider & other stuff relating to it (that later got regurgitated (badly) by sites like Kamen Rider Wiki or people like me lol.
Info on the Showa Riders and stuff like the exact origin of Kamen Rider and its relation to Skull Man for the longest time was basically from his site back when toku fandom was even more obscure than it is now.
He also made features where he talked about Ishinomori’s other tokusatsu work like Kikaider, Daitetsujin 17, Henshin Ninja Arashi and Inazuman.
Unfortunately, the site it once was basically got destroyed and a lot of those texts can only be found on the Wayback Machine. Its still functional, but obv not ideal. If you got time and interest tho, I def recommend checking them out
