Story Kamen Rider Amazon
A young Amazon (Daisuke Yamamoto) is left abandoned without his parents after a plane crashes in the Amazon rainforest. Amazon is quickly adopted by an Incan tribe and grows up to be a wild child who lives off the land.
Amazon’s idyllic life, however, comes to an end when Golgos, the Jyumenki, massacres his town, killing everyone but himself in search of the potent “GiGi Armlet,” which bestows amazing power on its wearer.
While utilizing his expertise in Incan science and sorcery to perform a mystical “operation” on Daisuke that turned him into the formidable “Kamen Rider Amazon” before he passed away, Elder Bago, the last of the Incas, delivers the GiGi Armlet to Amazon for safekeeping.
After reaching Japan, Amazon engages Gedon in combat without fully understanding why they are after him. As he destroys Gedon and later the Garander Empire, Amazon befriends Professor Kousaka’s nephew and niece and discovers the purpose of the GiGi Armlet.
