Synopsis

Kamen Rider Hibiki's main focus is the story of the teacher and apprentice-like relationship of Adachi Asumu and the title character. Adachi Asumu is a young boy who is unsure of his own skill and worth and is at a crossroads in his life as he transitions to high school. As the series progresses, he learns what it is to be a man, more confident in his own power. The secondary focus of the series is the age old battle of the Kamen Riders (referred to as Oni in this program) and the Makamo, demons that can only be defeated using "pure sound". The series follows the training and changes of the four main Oni, Hibiki, Ibuki, Todoroki and Zanki. A statue of an Oni wielding a tetsubo. ... In the Japanese tokusatsu production Kamen Rider Hibiki (仮面ライダー響鬼), Makamo (魔化魍) refers to an assortment of monstrous creatures that usually dwelled in the rural areas and consumed human beings as food. ... Kamen Rider Hibiki Hitoshi Hidaka, also known as Hibiki is a character from the Japanese Tokusatsu TV show, Kamen Rider Hibiki. ... Kamen Rider Ibuki Iori Izumi (和泉 伊織), also known as Ibuki is a character from the Japanese Tokusatsu TV show, Kamen Rider Hibiki. ... Kamen Rider Todoroki Tomizo Todayama ), more commonly referred to as Todoroki, is one of the many Oni from the Japanese Tokusatsu show, Kamen Rider Hibiki. ... Kamen Rider Zanki Zaoumaru Zaitsuhara, also known as Zanki is a character from the Japanese Tokusatsu TV show, Kamen Rider Hibiki. ...


Staff changes

The original concept for Kamen Rider Hibiki was called Ongeki Rider Hibiki, a series which would have used ninjas in place of the Kamen Riders. Just before the final episodes of Kamen Rider Blade were aired, Bandai decided to include the Hibiki world in the Kamen Rider franchise. Because of this, Takadera was forced to change various story elements of the original Hibiki story so that it would fit as a Kamen Rider series. Kamen Rider Blade , Masked Rider â™  (Blade)), is a Japanese tokusatsu superhero television series. ...


Kamen Rider Hibiki began with Shigenori Takadera as the Toei producer, however, Shinichiro Shirakura, though having participated in other Heisei Rider series, had no involvement whatsoever in the Hibiki production, was appointed producer of the movie Kamen Rider Hibiki and the Seven War Demons, eventually replacing Takadera in the TV production from episode 30. The writing staff also changed; Tsuyoshi Kida and Shinji Ooishi were replaced by Toshiki Inoue and Shouji Yonemura, who had worked with Shirakura in "Sh15uya" and other Heisei Kamen Rider series. It has been suggested that Updated Japan News be merged into this article or section. ...


In addition, personalities such as Sensha Yoshida, a renowned manga artist, Hiroshi Yamamoto, a video-game designer, Masao Higashi, a seasoned television and movie critic, and many others published severe criticisms in their personal blogs because of this. Even the show's star, Shigeki Hosokawa, the actor portraying Hibiki, stated in his personal website that Inoue’s scripts “needed adjustments" and that this whole staff change was "fraudulent”. With the first production staff, Hosokawa would join the writers meetings and give suggestions, however, due to time restraints, Hosokawa could not give his opinion in the second production staff meetings.


In an interview published on TV Asahi's main website, Hosokawa stated that the script for the final episode was rewritten on the final day of filming. He later said that the script was sent in so late that it arrived on set as the final battle was being filmed. This finale was scrapped and then a new ending that, according to Hosokawa, was nothing like the intended ending, was filmed. Later in the interview, Hosokawa said that the Oni suit used by Kiriyama was a kitbash of two new suits made especially for the characters of Asumu and Kiriyama. Hosokawa said that this was the most upsetting change to him as the final script had been rewritten six times at that point and all but the filmed version contained both Asumu and Kiriyama becoming Oni. A center cab switcher made by Bachmann has had parts added to look more realistic. ...


In January 2006, at the Kamen Rider Super Live, Hosokawa stated that “The series was essentially an incomplete process” and that “It shouldn’t have ended that way”. Also, Mitsu Murata, who portrayed the Douji, declared on his blog: “I can’t forgive them, I want to continue HIS idea”, complaining about the removal of Takadera as producer. These declarations caused an unprecedented storm within the professional tokusatsu market and many of Toei's executives were berated for allowing a series to be handled in such a manner.


There has never been any official statement from Toei, but many critics point out several facts might have caused it, the main reason being the low toy sales. It is not usual for a Toei production to have two different producers for the TV series and the movie. A different producer was appointed for the movie because Toei was suffering from schedule problems with Takadera.


Changes

  • Asumu's opening narration at the start of every episode was removed.
  • A new opening was introduced.
  • The ending sequence was removed altogether.
  • Kyosuke Kiriyama was introduced to the series.
  • Eiki and Shouki, who were both supposed to be main cast members, had their parts removed.
  • The fire breathing and the Onizume (Oni claws) sequences were completely removed along with Ibuki opening his mouth for his attack. Makamou that opened their mouths too wide or spurted goo were also removed. There had been complaints about these sequences from parent advocacy groups who claimed that they scared children.
  • Things as complicated-to-animate CG Makamou and shooting in mountains were reduced greatly probably due to cost. Takadera, unwilling to change his script to adapt to these changes was forcefully removed from the project.
  • A second female Rider by the name of Mishiki went as far as having a DX Otoukenban marketed and a prop suit made for her before she was dropped, as was Akira's role as an Oni at the end of the series.

Oni Kamen Rider

The combatant agents of Takeshi are known as Oni. They have been around for hundreds of years, protecting humans and fighting against the Makamou. The title of every Oni bears the -ki suffix (鬼), which is semantically identical to "Oni" in Japanese. It also has some resemblance with the real name of the Oni. Among making many changes the Kamen Rider look, Kamen Rider Hibiki introduced Kamen Rider Shuki, the first officially recognized female Kamen Rider in a Kamen Rider series.
