Hayato Ichimonji

Hayato Ichimonji (一文字 隼人 Ichimonji Hayato) is Kamen Rider 2 (仮面ライダー２号 Kamen Raidā Nigō, Masked Rider 2), a superhero from the 1971-1972 TV series Kamen Rider. He is the second hero to bear the name, taking over protecting Japan from the first, Takeshi Hongo, after he went abroad to take down international branches of Shocker. He was originally forcefully modified into a cyborg to destroy the original by Shocker, with modifications to Kamen Rider 1's original cyborg model that gave him greater super strength than the original. But Kamen Rider 1 saved him before he could be brainwashed into an evil killing machine. Hayato has a kind heart towards people, especially kids, acting as an older brother figure to them. He does his best to help them when they are threatened by Shocker.
