### Comment from Toshimi Tagawa
I am deeply moved to have the opportunity to participate in the "Kamen Rider Ondo" for the Kamen Rider series, which celebrates its 55th anniversary.
"Kamen Rider," which I watched with my brother as a child, has been loved for a long time, and its evolving presence makes it a superhero that transcends the boundaries of time and generations.
In every era, the presence of heroes who confront good and evil and cast a light upon them remains strong, reminding our generation of our childhood and giving us courage.
This summer, let's all enjoy "Kamen Rider Ondo" with our families and work up a good sweat!
