Kamen Yaiba (仮面ヤイバー ,Kamen Yaibā^?, litt. "Masked Sword") is a children's television show inside the Detective Conan universe that falls into the genre of tokusatsu, live action special effects. It is a parody of the Kamen Rider franchise, created by Shotaro Ishinomori in the 1970s.

Background

Kamen Yaiba is a fictional character in the series and a superhero that often appears on TV as a kids' show. Many relics have been made about him as publicity and marketing, including trading cards, posters, DVDs, and figurines. He is most liked by elementary schoolers like Conan and the Detective Boys, and many movies of the franchise have been produced. The plot is about a hero wanting to save the world from the threat of Jocker, an evil organization of alien monsters, and to conquer a young lady who is his first love. On the way to defeat his arch-enemy, the Jocker's boss, Yaiba also has to fight other villains that come in the way. The original Kamen Yaiba's arch-enemy was the Potato Baron, the fiends' leader ruled by the Potato Queen.

Kamen Yaiba's real identity is Raiha Shirogane (白金雷刃), a normal young and good looking person who's always in the park with his childhood friend Rei Natsume selling hot dogs. When something happens, he immediately drives to the scene and begin to battle the evil people or aliens. But, Rei does not know that he really is Kamen Yaiba. She only knows that her boyfriend often finds excuses to stop work, and ride away somewhere on his motorcycle. But every time, Rei forgives Kamen Yaiba with forgiving eyes. When the author was planning the story for Kamen Yaiba he made a scenario where his younger sister got killed. But, Kamen Yaiba doesn't fight for vengeance. He fights to maintain justice.^[3]. He also has a pet cat named "Torakage" (虎影).

Production

Kamen Yaiba is one of the most viewed shows in Japan in the series world and is produced by Nichiuri TV, based in Tokyo. The series first aired 24 years before the current Timeline.

It has a wide range of TV producers and ADs having two main actors: the one acting Kamen Yaiba and the one acting as Yaiba's girlfriend. The costume designs company used is Kitagawa Costumes and Nakamura Clothing Store.

The show has also been cooperated with Tohto University's Tama Campus, a visual arts department of the fictitious university, Iwakuma Sightseeing, a tourism agency promoting the show, Koyama Buses, bus transports for the staff, and Nagasaka's Everyone Kindergarten, as a promoter for children's shows.^[4] The show appears in a weekly basis and mainly targets a young audience range, although some fans are really older. Two movies have been made so far. TWO-MIX sang the theme song.

Name origin

Kamen Yaiba is a parody of Kamen Rider.

Yaiba as "Kamen Yaiba".

The name Kamen Yaiba is a combination of a parody of the Tokusatsu TV show Kamen Rider, as well as Gosho Aoyama's previous manga and anime Yaiba, referencing a moment from chapter 184, when Yaiba put on Sayaka's underwear like a mask to protect himself from the attacks of the Cedar Pollen Soldier, resembling the Rider a bit and jokingly calling himself "Kamen Yaiba" because of this. That franchise itself has had screenplays done by Toshiki Inoue. Several Detective Conan actors have appeared on Kamen Rider, including: Tori Matsuzaka, Seizo Kato, Rikiya Koyama, and Takanori Jinnai.

Kamen Yaiba's real name "Raiha Shirogane" (白金雷刃) comes from Yaiba Kurogane's name. "Shirogane" means silver (銀), while "Kurogane" means steel (鉄). Raiha contains the word for Yaiba's first name (刃), while the "Rai" part means "lightning" (雷) and is a reference to Yaiba's trademark technique the "lightning slash" (雷切). Yaiba's cat "Torakage" is a wordplay on Yaiba's pet tiger "Kagetora" (カゲトラ).

Trivia

The characters in the series are often compared with those in Detective Conan:
- Raiha Shirogane/Kamen Yaiba: Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa^[3]^[5]
- Rei Natsume: Ran Mouri^[3]
- The female spy who's betrayed Jocker and confessed her love to Kamen Yaiba: Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara^[5]
- The laser police: Law Enforcement^[3]
- The evil organization Jocker: Black Organization^[5]
- The Jocker's boss: The Boss^[6]
- The second-in-command of the boss: Rum^[6]
- Fuuko/Girl-Yaiba: Rumi Wakasa^[7]
Kamen Yaiba is the cell phone background of Mitsuhiko's phone in episode 622-623.
He's been referred to as Samurai Kid since around volume 30 of the English translation, which is what the translation used to call Yaiba whenever elements of that series made a cameo. This is an obvious translation error: they have similar names.
