Get ready, Riders! At the "Kamen Rider 55th Anniversary Presentation" on April 3rd, the official title for the 8th Reiwa Kamen Rider series was finally revealed: Kamen Rider MY-TH! And yes, we got a sneak peek at its slick new logo.
Earlier in July, we got a tantalizing hint: "MY-TH" is a Kamen Rider based on a mouse, with two other feline Riders joining the fray! Now, in a late-night drop on the 15th, the official team just hit us with another bombshell: the full production crew and main cast have been unveiled, complete with an epic teaser trailer!
First, let's talk about the dream team behind the scenes! Taking the director's chair is Shojiro Nakazawa, the mastermind who brought us "Kamen Rider EX-AID" and "Kamen Rider GEATS." Producing duties fall to the legendary Naomi Takebe (a true Kamen Rider series veteran!) alongside Yosuke Minato from "Kamen Rider Gotchard." And for all the high-octane action, regular suit actor Kei Fujita is stepping up as the action director!
Now for the faces we'll be cheering for! Our main protagonist, Sora Otozumi, will be brought to life by Ikuho Akiya. The female lead, Yuna Mizuki, is played by Riko Horikawa. And get this: Keisuke Higashi is set to portray Takeyori Minetaka, the one who transforms into Kamen Rider Maou (that's the Red Cat Rider, for those keeping score!)
Here's where it gets spicy: the male and female leads are locked in a "Butler & Master" dynamic! That's right, our hero Sora Otozumi will be serving as Yuna Mizuki's dedicated butler, basically running her entire life. Talk about a power imbalance!
We've even got a glimpse of some intense battle footage! You can catch all the action in the teaser trailer below.

The video also teased that a full production presentation is slated for August 4th, with more juicy details and character settings dropping continuously. Keep your eyes peeled for more info!
