New Kamen Rider: Fouze or Fourze or 4-O's

"WAIT! We saw bamboo shoot head rider! Oh wait! We saw a rocket based rider shooting live! Wait! More Fouze stuff had surfaced!!" Check it out!
So those are the recent quotes from tokusatsu fanbase forums and blogs speaking of the newly rumored Fouze, Fourze or 4-O's(whichever you think is suitable). Fouze/Fourze/4-O's is said to be the next installment of Kamen Rider Series after the end of OOO. Why did I say 4-O's? It so happen that recent rumors had mentioned they saw a new rider with a white bamboo shoot-like head riding a bike with number 40 printed on the bike. I presume they mistaken "O" for a Zero. Another reason why I said it's an O instead of a 0 is because the pun for Fouze/Fourze sounds like pronouncing Four O's.


The story is rumored to revolve around a high school boy who had joint a strange occult club that searches for urban legends that existed in the world. One of those urban legends happen to be "KAMEN RIDERs". The High School Boy's name is Yuuki Oshida,one of the member of the occult club mentioned earlier. In the search for Kamen Rider's urban legend, the characters also found something related to it, the Rider Switches(obviously it's one of Fourze/Fouze's main arsenal). The Urban legends will involved some previous riders and there's a chance that previous riders will had a cameo in it.

Fourze/Fouze's belt was given by the protagonist's teacher, he is rumored to be a Kamen Rider too. Another rider that look like Fourze/Fouze is known as Metamoru is said to be a complete version of Fouze/Fourze's system. Metamoru can switch all of his body parts whereas Fourze/Fouze only can change his arm and leg parts. It is said that both Metamoru and Fourze/Fouze will appear in OOO's summer Movie. Both Metamoru and Fourze/Fouze's names seems to be a pun from the word "Metamorphose".

Aside from the given info on Fourze/Fouze, there's several leaked image available for Fourze/Fouze. Check out below.
I'm not sure if the above is an official drawing design for Fourze/Fouze, but as seen in the image, Fouze is spelled as Fourze. And why did I said 4-O's earlier, it's probably that the recent information given said that Fourze requires 4 different type of switches to transform. 1 Rocket(Head), 2 Turbo(wrist), 3 Drill(wrist) and 4 Screw(Legs).
Fourze/Fouze is said to have the motif and designed of an Astronaut(which is obviously displayed in the fan-art-ish image above). But recently, another image had surfaced on 2chan. It is a low quality small-sized suit image(which was slightly darken and blurred). I've resized in order for you guys to take a good look on the suit design.
It is no wonder why people said that they saw a white bamboo shoot head looking rider with red bug eyes. Most of it were mentioned in tweets on Twitter. Another person had also mentioned that one of the Fourze/Fouze belt function is said to shout "ACTIVATE" as a sound effect.
The responds from most Japanese fans is that it look similar to an old hero called, Space Ironmen Kyodain.
Please take these as a grain of salt as the rumors may turned out to be false. Anyway, hope you guys gone wildly excited about the infos. That's all.

In preparation for the 40th Kamen Rider (all riders, not just heisei period) anniversary, ie. Fourze[ro].
