For all of those who did not grow up watching Japanese manga, Kamen Rider (Masked Rider) is a superhero in a science fiction TV series, created by the manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori. It made its TV debut on April 3, 1971 and ran until February 10, 1973. The series action takes place in a world plagued by Shocker, a mysterious terrorist organization. Takeshi Hongo and Hayato Ichimonji become Kamen Riders after escaping the terrorists, right before being brainwashed and turned into mutant cyborgs.

Although Mercedes-Benz often provides cars for action movies like the “Jurassic Park” and the “Die Hard” series, this is the first time it has provided one for a Japanese film.

The movie with the Mercedes sports car in the spotlight will premiere on August, 8 in Japan. Meanwhile, the car will be displayed at the brand-new Mercedes me Store at the HANEDA International Airport in Tokyo.
