Kamen Rider The First (仮面ライダー THE FIRST Kamen Raidā Za Fāsuto) is a 2005 Japanese tokusatsu Film. The film is an adaptation of the legendary television series Kamen Rider, though there are many differences between the film and the original programme; some of these, however, are due to a closer reliance on the original Kamen Rider manga by Shotaro Ishinomori. Written by Toshiki Inoue and directed by Takao Nagaishi, the film stars Masaya Kikawada as Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider 1 and Hassei Takano, who previously played Kamen Rider Raia in Kamen Rider Ryuki, as Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider 2.
