Kamen Rider Kobushi

Please listen to this [link] or [link] while looking at the image

Based on 's Kamen Rider Kage [link] and 's fanart of the rider [link]

An official image of Kamen Rider Agito Flame Form was used as a trace model


I was browsing through the new deviations on KamenRiderFans one day and I stumbled onto Kamen Rider Kage~. I was like "what is this,a.......Samurai Kamen Rider??????, NIce~"

Fanart was awesome too. Then i started reading the description of the character and the fanfiction promo, and thought..."hmmmmmmmmm some things aren't there.....and Kage means Shadow, which is why it is normally used for Ninja names, doesn't sound Samurai ish~"

3 hours later, I COULD NOT GET THE IDEA of the Samurai Rider out of my head, and decided to do a fanart of it >w<

Few Changes

> I tried really hard to design the katana in the description, but in the end , I went for a simple approach to the axe tranforming katana. by using the same concept of Shurikenger's Sword / Baseball bat [link]

It follows the same concept of how Shurikenger pulls the handle out of the baseball bat to reveal that it is a sword.

In Kobushi's case, while the sword is in the cover, it looks like an AXE

> I changed the name to Kobushi which meant Feudal Warrior or simply Samurai

> I changed the red earth color to a milder tone to make it closer to brown, just because of the earth element bit

> Finally after checking out many other samurai based costume characters + armors, took the info and mixed it up with a touch of Kuuga and Agito
