When Kamen Rider Agito (仮面ライダーアギト), the second installment in the Heisei era's Kamen Rider tokusatsu series, first hit screens in 2001, it made a massive splash. Not only did it boast the highest viewership ratings of any Heisei Rider series—a record that still stands today—but it also pioneered the intricate, puzzle-solving narrative style and solidified the concept of multiple Riders.
Today, we're shining a spotlight on an incredible cosplay creation: a stunning Kamen Rider Agito suit crafted by cosplayer Shotalaw ( @shotalaw_waaaay ). Its superbly detailed construction has wowed countless netizens, even earning a retweet and high praise from Toshiki Kashu, who played the protagonist Shoichi Tsugami himself!
Coser Shotalaw is a huge fan of the Kamen Rider series and frequently crafts his own cosplay outfits. For him, this hands-on creation is the ultimate way to express his love for the franchise.
This suit was primarily brought to life through 3D printing, with Shotalaw handling everything himself: from digital and manual modeling, sanding and painting, leather application, and belt modification, all the way to the final suit stitching! He shared that he absolutely loves the process of creating Kamen Rider suits, finding as much joy in it as interacting with his favorite heroes.
Aside from the transformation belt, nail armor, and the intricate jewel designs and printing on the chest armor, which were handled by a friend, Shotalaw took on all the painting and finishing himself. The result? An unbelievably high level of perfection.
Just look at the suit in action! Not only does it offer excellent mobility, but the texture and overall quality are also top-notch. It moves flawlessly, looking so authentic you'd swear it was an actual prop from the show!
Even more awesome, after the suit was posted on X, Toshiki Kashu—the actor who played Shoichi Tsugami, Kamen Rider Agito's human form—retweeted it, showering the costume with praise! He posted:
"Huh? I didn't even transform... Wait, on closer inspection, is this cosplay?! To make something this good yourself is seriously incredible! Overflowing with Agito love!"
Getting a shout-out from the original actor is a massive boost for any cosplayer, and Shotalaw was absolutely thrilled, thanking Toshiki Kashu for the incredible compliment!
