What Was the 'Innovation' of Kamen Rider Kuuga?
The 'Super Kuuga Exhibition' will delve into how the groundbreaking Kamen Rider Kuuga was created, focusing on behind-the-scenes making-of materials revealed for the first time in its 25th year, accompanied by explanations from staff and cast. The venue will showcase a diverse range of production materials, from scripts, designs, and concept sketches essential for video production to props used in filming. Alongside rare materials and footage, including previously unreleased details on Kamen Rider Kuuga's character, design, modeling, and ancient script, the exhibition will unravel the birth of Kamen Rider Kuuga. It will also fully recreate iconic scenes from each form with life-size statues and dioramas, offering an immersive experience that allows visitors to reflect on the series.
Furthermore, as a special surprise for its 25th anniversary, Joe Odagiri, who portrayed Kamen Rider Kuuga/Yusuke Godai, will serve as the exhibition navigator, providing an audio guide. This audio guide, accessible via visitors' smartphones, will feature commentary on each section and share Odagiri's reflections on Kuuga from the perspective of "now," 25 years later. The script for the commentary has been newly written by the series' main writer, Hisako Araki, as a special program.
The exhibition tour will begin at Tokyo Dome City Gallery AaMo from Saturday, June 14 to Sunday, July 6, 2025. It will then move to Nishitetsu Hall in Fukuoka from Saturday, July 12 to Sunday, August 3, followed by Nagoya (scheduled for autumn) and Osaka (details to be announced later).
Exclusive commemorative merchandise will also be available at the venue. MEDICOM TOY will release 'Kamen Rider Kuuga (Gold Glitter Red Clear Ver.)' and 'BE@RBRICK Kamen Rider Kuuga Amazing Mighty 100% & 400%.' These are must-have items for fans, so be sure to get them at the exhibition.
