Synopsis
Kazami Shiro's hobby is racing dirt motorcycles, along with Hongo and Ichimonji. With Shocker now in the past, Kamen Rider HQ believes there's finally peace in Japan. But suddenly, Destron tries to kill Shiro after he witnessed one of its mutants, Scissors killing a man. Destron is a branch of the now non-existent Shocker. Junko accidentally stumbles across Destron HQ, and Scissors tries to kill her. But, she's able to get away after Shiro rescues her. Shiro leaves Junko at his family's home thinking she'd be safe there. But once Destron finds the home, they kill Shiro's father, mother and sister. Shiro seeks revenge for his family members' deaths, and begs Hongo and Ichimonji to turn him a cyborg. At first, they deny his request. Later, Shiro is killed as he attempts to rescues Hongo and Ichimonji from Destron. The only way they can bring Shiro back to life is to turn him into a cyborg. Hence, he becomes Kamen Rider V3 ("V" for victory, and "3" being that he's the third Kamen Rider.) --groink
