Kamen Rider ZO (仮面ライダーZO, Kamen Raidā Zetto Ō), translated Masked Rider ZO, is a 1993 Japanese tokusatsu biopunk superhero movie produced by the Toei Company as part of their Kamen Rider Series.[1][2] Directed by Keita Amemiya, it was the first joint production of Toei and Bandai. A Sega CD interactive movie was released for ZO in 1994,[3] and was distributed in the United States as The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO.
To commemorate the series' 40th anniversary, ZO was shown on Toei's pay-per-view channel in September 2011.[4] The film's protagonist, Kamen Rider ZO, appears in the later Kamen Rider Decade television series[5] and is a playable character in the 2011 Nintendo DS video game All Kamen Rider: Rider Generation.[6]
