Classic Kamen Rider Amazon

A hypothetical international adaptation of the classic Kamen Rider Amazon by Shotaro Ishinomori will be produced by AdNess and Bluefin, if it’s going to be made at all. 

Kamen Rider Amazon in the international version has more diverse vocalisations and sounds than in the older versions of both live action and manga kinds. He is a beastly man, pounding his chest for different purposes. 

Ben Davis is an action survivor who has a rather heart breaking beginning, made worse by the murder of his ageing birth parents by a mentally hypnotised mad scientist, who was originally caring but got sold out into a scary mega corporate world, and ultimately bought by the abusive former master to Gargash, Dr. Geddon. Ben is also a significant mixed race character with brown eyes, whose paternal aunt Wanda brought him over to Peru before she died in a plane crash. After losing both his uncle and aunt, he was raised by a family of wild men living in the Jungles of Ucayali in Peruvian Amazonia. Later on, he had to survive by foraging for essential stuff like foods and clothing. Amongst his other jungle friends are Kunks and other mythical creatures.

Over time, he made friends with various part time nomads, a family of snowbirds, an ecologist and a mechanic. Unfortunately, the mechanic, who taught him some Peruvian Spanish, had also been killed off. As a teenager, he was trapped into a bio trafficker’s snare and had to be rescued by a Yacuruna, who bit his legs to lessen the snare’s unpleasant effects as he frees him. 

Even sadder, he lost his adoptive parents a few years later, as a chest pounding young man. As a result, he courageously protects his own friends from extensive exploitation by large corporations. It seems likely that Sande nuts and the meats of ice cream beans are amongst his favourite foods. Being an avid tree dweller, he lives in a treehouse near Taichi’s house. He is perhaps the first and sole openly bisexual Kamen Rider of the Showa period.   

Fellow Urbanites 

Lucy Jones is the brunette older sister of Francis, who has long wavy hair with varying fringe lengths. Her maternal grandparents are ethnic Croatians from Dalmatia who immigrated to the US for a better life elsewhere. She is fifteen years old. 

Taichi Tachibana’s nearly adult daughter is named Jess, who is a quad biking aficionado. She has a long straight hairdo with side parter bangs. 

A jungle dwelling kid named Ray is a boy with brute strength raised by the same adoptive tribe as Ben in the southwest Amazon jungle. He is most likely orphaned by the mechanic’s killer, a depravedly corrupt boss who killed his parents when he was a young baby. Like Ben, he sometimes pounds his chest when he’s excited or angry. He is almost certainly Ben’s adoptive younger brother. 

Veronica is Val’s long haired Latina friend with a Hime cut. 

Will Scott is a seven year old boy who is a newcomer to an otherwise sleepy suburban town infested with relatively corrupt cops. As his parents are former spinsters, he is largely not welcomed by fellow youngsters except for Kay. 

Francis Jones, an eight year old boy, is an ally of Ben Davis, as well as being the younger brother of Lucy. 

The other Allies  

Roger Drake is the eight year old younger brother of Val Drake and the son of Rusty Drake. 

Val Drake is a goth with short brown hair, who happens to be the daughter of Rusty Drake. 

Eric ‘Rusty’ Drake is one of the ecologists whom Kamen Rider Amazon befriended years before. 

Louise, basically one of Donna’s fellow friends, and a plucky neighbour of hers, is a lady ecologist in her twenties (later thirties). Her other friend is Jane Dyne, Kamen Rider Amazon’s first (then new) girlfriend. 

Mimi is Kamen Rider Amazon’s lover and eventual wife. When she first met Green, she was bedraggled, living in a squalid house next to a dumping ground for plastic. His badass nature ultimately persuades her, culminating in a rather plausible if very unlikely marriage to the young wild man she ultimately comes to love, which results in Beth being adopted. After her husband leads her to the Ucayali jungle, she also adores his lodge and will dare to go out for a birdwatching hike! 

Green’s immediate family 

Jasper Davis, a war veteran, was Ben’s birth father and Christina’s partner. 

Christina Yamamuro, a middle aged cubicle rat, was Ben’s birth mother. Shortly after he was born, Christina and her black American partner were forcibly experimented upon by devious scientists gone wild, and as a result they died in sadness knowing that they’re assaulted to smithereens. 

Beth is Ben’s adopted daughter. She’s been orphaned like her adoptive father since she was baby. Otherwise, she enjoys the jungle scenery as she grows to be as tough as her adoptive parents. 

Joe Pickens, Ben’s dead paternal uncle, was a cubicle rat ecologist who plane crashed to death along with his wife Wanda. Their friend was a well meant aviator. 

Wanda Pickens, Ben’s dead paternal aunt and his father’s sister, an explorer who ensured that Ben lived privately in the thick jungles near Pucallpa for much of his early life. 

Lila Pickens, an urban reporter, is Ben’s long lost older cousin. She is about thirty six years old. 

Simon Keats, Lila’s husband, is a workaholic Schoolteacher at an elementary school where his son Joey attends. 

Joey Keats, Lila’s son and Ben’s nephew, is both a preteen and a class clown. 

Donna Davis, a thirty two year old woman, is a lady who was kidnapped by Gargash before he died. Then she was freed by Kaza and Zeba from their own bad methods, so that she can reunite with her long lost little brother, Ben. 

The Monsters

Garvey, a clumsy mole monster who speaks English in a somewhat broken fashion, is a character who was once a senior human being before being reincarnated into a beast. He was a workplace reject who lived in a shed and frequently had nightmares of future upcoming scientists being sold out into a corporate world. He sacrifices himself to save Amazon Green from being obliterated by a very depraved monster, Malicia’s boss. 

Lyn, a llama monster who was one of a bunch of shanghaied monsters that Amazon Green had seen. Barely spoke much because of her worsening Alzheimer’s and was accidentally killed by the mantis monster. 

Gunna, a monster born into the infamous science experiment by Vandal BigWig that ultimately killed almost everyone, including Green’s birth parents. Is a non verbal, highly wild beast known to turn into the most powerful Beast rider of all. 

Reynaldo, a jaguar monster, was one of the unwilling recruits of Gargash before exiling from his wicked boss. 

Reynaldo’s daughter was named Josefina, who was forced to become a black Jaguar monster by the machinations of Dr. Geddon before the main story begins.
