Shocker Wants You to Join their Organization!


Toei announced that they are recruiting people who will join Shocker, the enemy organization of the first Kamen Rider TV series!

The Shocker Project official website opened to invite Shocker's quest for world domination. In the original TV series, the organization is looking for those with high amounts of intelligence and physical strength.


A public event will be held this May 26 at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo, with tickets costing 1,000 yen (about US$10), and free for children 2 and under. The event will last between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m, and all attendees will receive a proof of the Shockers with their name on it as a present.

Details of the audition itself will be a secret until the event begins, but the organizers suggest attendees to wear easy-to-move-in clothes, although there will be no actual combat.

Lastly, the organization is looking for 3 different type of Shocker combatants:


Shocker Fighter A: an average guy with no abilities or disabilities. His daily routine includes collecting information from Internet news.


Shocker Fighter B: a tall and skinny guy who had the nickname "bean sprout" in the past. He needs the internet to live, and if he is in an area without service, it is difficult for him to carry on. He deeply respects Bill Gates.


Shocker Fighter C: a short and pudgy guy who is a self-proclaimed "Gourmet hunter." However, lately he has been thinking about dieting, and does not go a day without checking his calories. He enjoys making terrible puns.
