Tōbei Tachibana is a renowned supporting character who appears in the early Kamen Rider series and a reliable figure who supports the Riders from behind the scenes.
He was portrayed by the distinguished actor Akiji Kobayashi.
Throughout the series, he was beloved by many fans as a character with deep affection and strong conviction—an “Oyassan” figure who supports the Riders both emotionally and practically.
Though he lacks fighting abilities, his unwavering faith in the Riders and his willingness to risk his life to support them deeply moved viewers.
He is one of the most iconic figures of the Showa-era Kamen Rider series and can be called the very heart of the franchise.
In conclusion

His gallant figure, battling with the transformation belt strapped on, continues to shine without losing its luster even today.
I hope this article serves as a chance to look back on those nostalgic memories from that time.
