Kamen Rider Spirit : The Legend, > #2 Nigo

Story

Ichimonji Hayato was a freelance cameraman and a martial artist with a black belt in Judo and Karate. One day though, he was abducted like Hongo and turned into a cyborg against his will. Filling in for Hongo, who went to Europe to fight against Shocker's plans of global domination, Ichimonji stayed to protect the legions of Shocker still in Japan. To aid him in his fight were Tachibana Heiei, an auto racing coach, and Taki Kazuya, an FBI Agent. When Hongo returned to Japan, the two teamed up becoming the Double Riders and fought Shocker's Kaijin together. Eventually Ichimonji leaves Japan for South America, following the trail of Dr. Death. Although fundamentaly the same cyborg, Rider 2 was much more powerful than Rider 1. Since returning from South America, after powering up, the strength of R2 and the skills of R1, who constantly developed new techniques to combat Shocker, were emphasized more. Known as Powerful Rider 2 and Skillful Rider 1. After his return to Japan, R2 often showed up just when R1 would get into an unescapable certain doom, and together they defeated the Kaijin. Finally the Double Riders were able to defeat Shocker/GelShocker and return peace to Japan.
