In 2012, Space Sheriff Gavan: the Movie was released, in essence rebooting the Space Sheriff franchise. Later this year, Jinzo Ningen Kikaider will do this same in Kikaider REBOOT.

Jiro, Kikaider’s human alter ego, will be played by Jingie Irie, while the original Kikaider actor Ban Daisuke will portray Kyujiro, rendered in kanji which may be read as “Old Jiro.”

The Kikaider suit last appeared in the 2011 film OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let’s Go Kamen Riders!. The suit has been overhauled for this new film.

Like Super Sentai and Kamen Rider, Kikaider was created by Shotaro Ishinomori. Kikaider REBOOT is slated to reach Japanese cinemas on May 24, 2014.
