''Franchise/KamenRider'' is a prolific franchise, and a lot of other Japanese-based creations occasionally do shout outs to it, usually in the form of ScarfOfAsskicking or usage of a DivingKick.

[[folder:Anime/Manga]]
* Mashiro from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. The mask, the scarf, the kicking techniques...
* Miyo Hatoyama of ''Manga/CaheDetectiveClub'' is a huge fan of {{Toku}} in general and ''Kamen Rider'' in particular, so any scene with her usually contains at least one ShoutOut.
* ''Manga/CaseClosed'' has ''Kamen Yaiba''/''Masked Yaiba'', which is the favorite show of the Detective Boys.
* The manga ''Manga/{{Change 123}}'' features the LawyerFriendlyCameo ''Kamen Raider'' as a recurring background element. The series represented by ''Raider'' seem to draw more from the Old-Gen than the New-Gen, possibly due to SmallReferencePools.
* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' character Justimon is a pair of bug-eyes away from looking like an official Rider: he has the outfit, the poses, the kick as a signature move, and even a red scarf. However, Stingmon, being an actual insect, has a bug-eyed body and especially head that makes him ''extremely'' Rider-esque. Sadly, that's the extent of the homage, if indeed homage is intended.
* ''Anime/CrayonShinChan'' has a character called "Action Kamen" (called "Action Bastard" in the dub) who is basically a Kamen Rider clone. Humorously enough, it comes full circle with ''Anime/CrayonShinChan'' having crossovers with both ''[[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-O]]'' and ''[[Series/KamenRiderFourze Fourze]]''.
* The Great Saiyaman from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' downright parodies Kamen Riders (and toku heroes in general) yet still manages to be awesome.
* Manga/{{Franken Fran}}'s "Sentinel" chapters are an obvious homage/parody of the Showa Kamen Rider series, with the four Sentinels corresponding to v1, v2, v3, and Riderman.
* ''Manga/FutureDiary'' has one in Episode 4, about one of the Diary users hilariously attempting to do a transformation in front of the Ninth user. He even has a [[TransformationTrinket Transformation belt]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeoXYn4G1hY Watch this]]
* In an [=SBS=] for ''Manga/OnePiece'', [[WordOfGod Oda states that]] the lens of Doflamingo's sunglasses are modeled after the eyes of the helmet of ''Series/KamenRiderSuper1''
* ''Anime/PrettyCure''
** In ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'', Tsubomi's grandmother's maiden name was [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kaoruko Godai]]. Within a day of this being revealed, [[http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo199/WingKnightZero/1281919185983.png this piece of fanart]] hit the internet.
** In the first episode of Anime/DokiDokiPrecure, [[AllLovingHero Mana Aida]] tries to transform by doing a pose similar to [[Series/KamenRider Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider #1 (Ichigo)]], and even channeling the henshin call of [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Ryu Terui/Kamen Rider Accel]] the second time.
** In one episode of ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'', when Emiru explains what a good hero is like, she mimics the "Henshin!" pose from this series.
* ''Manga/LuckyStar'':
** Two of the live-action [=EDs=] involve Minoru Shiraishi playing with a [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-O]] belt ("Shi-kaaaaaaideeeeerr!!") and mimicking [[Series/KamenRider Rider-1]]'s transformation pose on a hillock (the sped-up ''Motteke! Serafuku'').
** Konata's father Soujirou also drops a reference when he plays around with static electricity. "[[Series/KamenRiderStronger STUROOONGAAAAA!!!]]"
* The ''Manga/SquidGirl'' ShowWithinAShow, "Nohmen Rider", goes the extra mile with its own ExpositoryThemeTune.

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* Ramen Rider in ''ComicBook/NinjaHighSchool''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''Fanfic/SymposiumOfSupremacy'': Jaden Yuki is briefly seen eating fried shrimp topped with ''natto'', referencing a scene from ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' in which Tomoko Nozama dumped natto onto Yuki Jojima's fried shrimp.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Light Novels]]
* ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove''. Turns out that [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Nyarlathotep]] is a big fan of ''Kamen Rider''. To the point that she made transformation poses on the cover of most volumes.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/MimpiMetropolitan'' has some reference to Kesatria Baja Hitam (localization of Series/KamenRiderBlack) catchphrase, "''berubah''", which is otherwise a common word meaning "change".
** In episode 25, when Melani assures Bambang that Alan and Prima will change and forgive him, Bambang is distracted by the word ''berubah'' and thinks she is referencing Kesatria Baja Hitam.
** In episode 31, while Akbar references Action Kamen[[note]]"Pahlawan Bertopeng" in Indonesia[[/note]] when Mami Bibir says the word, Mami references "Kesatria Baja Ringan" instead.
* ''Franchise/UltraSeries''
** In the second episode of ''Series/UltramanAce'', Hokuto and Minami’s transformation into Ace has them riding on motorbikes with Hokuto shouting “Rider Punch!” while merging.
** Series/UltramanLeo's Leo Kick is a friendly nod to Kamen Rider's famous DivingKick FinishingMove.

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/{{Pachimon}}'', in addition to borrowing a few monster designs from the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' and ''Kamen Rider'', also features a Kamen Rider CaptainErsatz as a Joker in it's poker edition.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/AiTheSomniumFiles'':
** Ota Matsushita is obviously a fan, considering he wears a Typhoon-like belt all the time, and that his [[DreamLand Somnium]] shows that he quotes [[Series/KamenRiderStronger Stronger]] and [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ryuki]] (among others) in his head to build up courage.
** Ryuki, one of the two protagonists of ''VideoGame/AiTheSomniumFilesNirvanaInitiative'' is obviously named after [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki the other Ryuki]], and early on, he makes a remark about entering the mirror world. The two games as a whole also contain various subtle references to many Kamen Riders.
* ''VideoGame/{{Amagami}}''[='=]s Sae Nakata is a fan of ''Inago Mask'' ("The Masked Locust"). We also see Ai Nanasaki putting on a belt, [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto then placing a blue grasshopper on it.]] The TV series version of this belt, from the same brand, speaks like a Zecter and has a logo that resembles [[Series/KamenRider555 Smart Brain]]'s.
* ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'': Along with wearing a mask (though not beetle like), Yasha uses the mother of all Rider Kicks to [[spoiler: deflect a giant Death Star-like laser cannon forming from the Karma Fortress's head (which is bigger than the moon!)]]
* The Kicker Skeleton enemy in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' for Game Boy Advance, who's entire shtick is [[http://community.livejournal.com/kamenrider/175438.html jumping in the air and Rider Kicking you]]. It drops the Red Scarf and Ancient Belt items, and if you absorb its soul, you can learn said kick ability.
* ''Anime/EurekaSeven Volume 1: The New Wave'', the video game of the franchise, has a move called Rider Kick, usable by the protagonist and the last melee move you can learn in the game.
* ''VideoGame/{{Indivisible}}'' has Naga Rider, an obvious Expy of Kamen Rider. Stated to be the last of the Vahana Riders.
* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', one of Leona's supers makes her impale her opponent on her claws, everyone freezes as sparks fly out of the enemy, and then Leona pulls out her claws and poses while the opponent blows up, all done in a fashion that suspiciously resembles Series/KamenRiderBlackRX's finishing attack (although RX does it with a sword instead of claws). Also notable is that her jumping CD attack is identical to the iconic Rider Kick, right down to the inexplicably glowing foot.
** Several fighting games contain characters who are massive ''Kamen Rider'' {{Shout Out}}s, including Skullomania from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterEX'' and May Lee from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''.
* ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'': The game's version of Comicbook/SpiderMan's "Maximum Spider" Level 3 ends up with a Rider Kick.
* ''VideoGame/MegaMan11'' has an enemy based on Shocker's Combatmen.
%% (ZCE) * [[VideoGame/MetalSlug Hyakutaro Ichimonji]], anyone?
* VideoGame/{{Neptunia}} has a ton of this in the name of [[Creator/NipponIchi Nisa]]. ScarfOfAsskicking? Check! Rider Kick? Check! A badass? Check! Poses? Check! HotBlooded? Check! Also one of Neptune's battle start lines is [[Series/KamenRiderDenO "From start to finish, I'm always at a climax!"]].
* In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroesIII'', while talking about the [[BBCQuarry toku quarry,]] Travis outright namedrops ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'' (the subtitles censor the name, but the spoken dialogue doesn't).
* ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' introduce Nymble and Lokix, two grasshopper-based Pokémon inspired by the various grasshopper-themed Riders.
* The [=RaiOh=], ''especially'' its MidSeasonUpgrade [=DaiRaiOh=], from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'' are basically HumongousMecha versions of Kamen Riders, thanks to the telltale signs of a red ScarfOfAsskicking and their respective strongest attacks being [[ExtremityExtremist kicks]]. To further the reference, the [=DaiRaiOh=] removes its faceplate during its strongest attack with a look resembling Takeshi Hongo, the first Kamen Rider.
* The Clawed Soldiers from ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsCovenant'' closely resemble the Shocker Combatmen from ''Film/KamenRiderTheFirst'' with their black attires, gas masks and high-pitched "Yii!" battle cries.
* ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors 4-II'' features Naomasa Ii's Rage Musou which is a dead ringer of the Rider Kick.
* ''VideoGame/TouhouLostWord'' features an alternate-universe kaiju version of Wriggle Nightbug, whose appearance is inspired by the Kamen Riders, complete with costume, motorbike, and insect motif. She's even doing a divekick in her character splash, as another reference to the Kamen Rider series.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' has Anne and the Plantars watching a movie ''Tarantu-Lad'' where the hero looks like the first Kamen Rider.
