Kamen Rider

Koumori Otoko (コウモリ男, "Bat Man") is a kaijin (monster) and one of the earliest antagonists in the original Kamen Rider series. He serves as a notable member of Shocker, the evil organization that transformed Takeshi Hongo into Kamen Rider 1.

Formerly a human male, Koumori Otoko was subjected to Shocker's genetic engineering, granting him bat-like attributes and powers. His appearance is marked by large, leathery wings, pointed ears, and sharp fangs, characteristic of a bat. His primary abilities include flight, the power to emit sonic waves, and enhanced strength and agility.

Koumori Otoko is often depicted as a ruthless and cunning operative within Shocker's ranks. He engages in various missions aimed at spreading chaos and eliminating those who oppose Shocker's ambitions. He serves as a recurring threat in the early episodes, posing a significant challenge to Kamen Rider 1.

Ultimately, Koumori Otoko is defeated by Kamen Rider 1, becoming one of the first examples of Kamen Rider's resolve to battle Shocker's mutant army and protect humanity.
