To mark the 55th anniversary of the Kamen Rider franchise, manga artist Shimamoto Kazuhiko is back in the spotlight with the release of Kamen Rider Black × Kamen Rider ZO, a new collected volume that went on sale on August 20, 2026.
What’s Inside
The book brings together two works Shimamoto previously drew for the franchise: Kamen Rider Black PART⊗ Imitation-7, a spin-off story set in the world of Kamen Rider Black, and his adaptation of Kamen Rider ZO. Both stories are reproduced with their original magazine color pages faithfully restored.
Exclusive New Content
Beyond the reprinted material, the volume is packed with brand-new content created especially for this release:
- A newly drawn, full-color 4-page opening for the Kamen Rider Black story
- New illustrations for both Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider Black
- A densely detailed long interview exceeding 15,000 characters, conducted with Hayase Masato of Ishimori Pro
- An illustration collection including pieces never previously compiled in a single volume
Whether readers are discovering Shimamoto’s distinctive take on the Kamen Rider universe for the first time or revisiting it as longtime fans, the volume promises to deliver his signature storytelling — exploring themes of the sorrow of imitation and the pain of parting from those one loves.
