2	Riku Sanjō[[note]]三条陸 (Sanjou Riku)[[/note]] (born October 3, 1964) is a Japanese writer most famous as the creator of ''Manga/DragonQuestTheAdventureOfDai'', one of the best-selling manga of all time. In the {{toku}} fandom, he is best known as the head writer of ''Series/KamenRiderW'' and ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger''.

The following year he would publish his first manga, ''Manga/SkybomberChokusen'', and would largely remain in this field for many years (both as a creator and as an article writer for manga magazines). He began to shift back to the television sphere after he was scouted as writer for the 2005 ''Anime/GaikingLegendOfDaikuMaryu'', which would also lead to him branching out into a number of {{tokusatsu}} titles.
