How would you do a Kamen Rider setting?

Needs to be more specific first of all.
Are we doing Showa era where riders are full on cyborgs or mid to late Heisei era where it's just the belts giving strength?
What type of opponent are they going after? Secret organizations filled with mooks or a single group of individually powerful creatures in more of a Shadow of the Colossus setup?
We doing multi-riders or is this going to be solo rider supported by police/mech-suits?
I was going to run one in Legends of the Wulin. Kamen Rider is very much a modern expansion on that classic style of high drama, high action martial arts storytelling. Sadly I never got it off the ground, but I would like to run it some day.
I was going for a global Rider organisation, with belts created from ancient historical weapons an artifacts being used to take down abominations and monsters echoing the beasts and demons of mythology.
It's a classic story really
>Evil organization turns people into monsters to use as weapons
>the PCs get kidnapped
>PCs get upgraded
>they escape before being brainwashed
>organization is now hunting them, but they got superpowers, mad kung-fu moves and motorcycles

>tfw I can't remember anything else about it other than the filename
Even if there is no God or Buddha, there is Kamen Rider.
Riders are a breed of Japanese superhero, so there's no reason not to run them in your supers system of choice, like Mutants & Masterminds.
One thing I have thought about is running a Rider series with only one PC as the rider and the rest as cops or other support characters not using a suit or belt of any kind. I like how Kuuga balanced Godai's heroics with Officer Ichijo's.

While Kuuga is amazing, I honestly think doing a rider team is probably the better way of going about it.

IN order to keep the spotlight consistent and give all players equal agency in situations I don't disagree. Just pondering on how to handle such a party inbalance on the table.
