Notes

  • In a chapter of the manga, appeared on a calendar. Interestingly, this was six months prior to Kamen Rider X’s reveal on television. This means that Shotaro Ishinomori possibly made the Rider’s design during the early planning stages of the TV show and wanted to give his subscribed fans and readers a sneak preview. One notable difference from the final version is the belt does not have the buckle, though this could be due to the scale of the drawing.
