"SIC (Super Imaginative Chogokin)" is a brand that has brought a new style to the Japanese character figure world by fusing design lines based on the original imagination of sculptors and molding beauty backed by high-level technology. In Interview Articles this time, following the last time, we invited two people, Mr. Takayuki Takeya and Mr. Yukio Fujioka, and in November and December 2011, SKYRIDER and MASKED RIDER SUPER-1, which will join the lineup, and further talked about the long-awaited commercialization of MASKED RIDER ZX (Zekros).

■ SIC latest work ・ SKYRIDER and Super 1

── Although prototype teacher of "SIC Takumitamashi" In talented had participated many, do you allocation is determined How?

TakeyaAlso because there is a good field to each of you, basically, "If I was the muscular system of the character, Taniguchi (Junichi) Kundaro intends" to see the character of the design and atmosphere with the feeling that, so as to distribute to good at likely person you have.
Because in the case of Fujioka-kun defensive range is wide, but I feel that "Any OK".
The Fujioka-kun, the Sky and modeling of super-1 that is continuously released in November-December 2011, I got in charge of basically one person.
When I was a series start-up is, ... and think so but I thought I "would not come out until the Sky and Super 1" officials also including Bandai, it is emotional.

FujiokaIn my case, Kamen Rider that I saw in real time was after "BLACK". That's why there may be some things I don't know about the previous works, SKYRIDER and Super 1. But that way you can look at things objectively, and in some cases the results are good. If you have too much affection for a work or character, it can become difficult to add arrangements.

TakeyaOnly this time I have seen in the next to the work of Fujioka-kun, we leave it all basically. Where such How can you get by on joint work in addition one or two people after that it is usually, it It is also part of it is better to do alone.

部分 What part of the SKYRIDER and Super 1 design struggled?

TakeyaSKYRIDER was originally designed with the image of MASKED RIDER 1, so I tried not to remove the concept of "looking like MASKED RIDER 1". The gravity reduction device on the waist may have been for the convenience of the action, but the original design was small and plain, so I thought that making it larger would make it easier to understand as a three-dimensional object, and it would also lead to the characteristics of the character. The reason I chose the coloring from the previous season was because I wanted to cherish the image from when it first appeared, but also because I personally prefer darker colors (laughs). The late version of the suit also has a leather-like texture on the arms, and I like that one. Nothing has been decided yet, but there may be a late version coming out later... (laughs).

For the super-1, while to cherish the basis of the part, such as has been the motif of the wasp, it has been designed in obediently emphasize direction. Specifically, since the original design design of "V" is in the around the body, the arms of the line was also expressed by causing continuous "V". Also a Five hand Speaking of weapons to symbolize the super-1, but that will become simply a different color of the gloves also faithfully reproduces the television version, So that it would not be pleasing to now of the user, This time has been forced to arrange (laughs). Also power hand emphasized the super hand and strength that represents the fringe of the gloves in the chain, it seems to be well received in the fan thanks to like.

FujiokaBy the way, this time, the muffler part uses a clear material with two bodies. If uncertain, it's appearance becomes absolutely heavy feeling. Also muffler, which is used for the actual suit, then you have what you are using the sheer material.

■ further eagerly-awaited ZX (Zekurosu) too!?

── If this happens, expectations for the 3D version of MASKED RIDER ZX (Zekros) will rise...

TakeyaZX (Zekurosu) is also in order to take advantage of the features on the design of the body is left-right asymmetry, the elements of the fine line also including the original design is considered to Leave as much as possible.
Setting called "Ninja rider" I want to as much as possible inflated is also ......
The original design did not include black costumes, so this will have to be expressed through props or ver. A.N.I.M.E. rather than through the visual design.
For example, cross shuriken and micro chains, who were allowed to enrich the weapon that symbolizes the ZX, such as electromagnetic knife (Zekurosu) is, conceptually to fits of kana.

■ prototype teacher wants, the SIC future lineup

──When you have all the ZXs, you will finally have a lineup of "10 riders". What item would you like to remake with this opportunity?

TakeyaNot only Rider, but also Kikaider type items, I think about item released in the early days, ``At the time, I settled on that form, but what would happen if I changed the arrangement and made it from scratch with the current technology?'' hey.
I have a feeling that many new ideas will emerge, and I especially want to challenge Kikaider and Hakaider.
However, it is the thought of what a thing that has been asked a fan of everyone now ...... Well, in that if there is a kind of talk the future (laughs).

── in the "SIC" series character that you want to release in the future?

FujiokaIncluding "transformation ninja storm", a variety of work characters You have been quite three-dimensional ....

TakeyaWhen it comes to things that do not put your hands on the Ishinomori work ...... we would have not remained only about "Cyborg 009".
But it is to thing of if there is that face that was drawn teacher Ishinomori, it is likely to become to what exactly made differences and to arrange.
For example, if you was a movie, but I think that there is also such a way as to successfully live-action the American comic "X-MEN", difficult when it comes to three-dimensional object. Nose of the jet What about you, Toka (laughs).
