Japanese Businessman in Kamen Rider Costume Helps Children in Thailand


A hero of justice! Akihiro Tomikawa, a 44-year old Japanese businessman, travels to Thailand every two months to distribute toys to underprivileged children in slum areas in Bangkok. On October 3rd, Tomikawa did this while donning the Kamen Rider No.1 costume, paired with the character's signature bike, the Cyclone.

Kamen Rider is one of the most popular tokusatsu franchise created by TOEI. This follows the story of Takeshi Hongo, a cyber-human created by the evil Shocker, stood up for justice and starts protecting the world from monsters.

  13. Ok, there should be a kickstarter for this guy.

    A real hero everyone should look up to and copy.

  14. This is a very inspiring philantropic work. Too bad those kids probably can never watch a Kamen Rider show. But If he ever need a sidekick (for KR Nigo, or other Riders), I'd be gladly to offer my help free of charge :)

    Anyway, this is such an amazing story, yet no KR fans even posted a comment yet? Wow... what a cold world indeed.

    My heart was touched by this guy.

    That is a really cool thing he did, bringing toys to those kids while wearing the Ichigo costume.

    Yeah, his bike was the wrong kind but, that's really a minor nitpick/to me anyway.

    I can't wait to show my other friends this article.

    Akihiro Tomikawa definitely deserves my Bad-Ass seal of approval.
