Description
Hiroshi Tsukuba (筑波洋 Tsukuba Hiroshi) is Skyrider (スカイライダー Sukairaidā), the main protagonist of the 1979 Kamen Rider Series installment Kamen Rider, more commonly referred to as Skyrider or The New Kamen Rider and very rarely as Kamen Rider #8.

A kind person with a fascination for the sky, Hiroshi was constantly helping others in both Rider and human forms. While he lost his family at an early age, he managed to live life and tried to enjoy every little bit of it. Even after being altered into a cyborg, Hiroshi decided to help others with his new powers by fighting Neo-Shocker. While at times troubled by the situation, he was helped by others around him like his predecessors. Later on Hiroshi shows his parenting side when he took care of Bongo when he was a baby while humorously being called "mama" by him. While Hiroshi stated that he would kill Bongo when he grew up, in the end when Bongo died after he showed how much Hiroshi meant to him, Hiroshi cried tears of sadness. After learning that his parents were still alive, Hiroshi somewhat showed an obsession with finding them which sadly ended tragically. While he was saddened when his parents were killed, he still did his best and stopped Neo-Shocker along with his predecessors for the innocent people showing how much he's matured as a person.

Hiroshi is a young man who hang glides for fun and studied karate under Ryoichi Miyoshi. Three years prior, he lost his parents and sister in a car crash. While on a picnic with his friends, Hiroshi witnessed Professor Keitarō Shido being pursued while hang gliding and saves him from a gang of Ari Commandos. Soon after, Hiroshi finds his friends have been all murdered for his meddling before being approached by Midori Kanō, who takes him to Shido as the man informs Hiroshi of the terrorist organization Neo-Shocker.

While finding Imata Tonda snooping around Shido's safe house, Hiroshi finds the scientist abducted by Gameleojin, the monster who murdered his friends. But when the pursuit resulted with Hiroshi critically wounded, Shido convinces General Monster, who realized the young man's potential, to allow him to convert Hiroshi into a cyborg. Coming to, Hiroshi wanders out of the NeoShocker complex and learns of his new nature before he accidentally transforms into SkyRider. Using his new found ability, SkyRider destroys Gameleojin and embraced his new-found existence as a means to stop Neo-Shocker's evil. To keep a low profile in his search for Neo-Shocker's base, Hiroshi founded the Shido Hang Glide Club with Shido.

Eventually, after Neo-Shocker Plus-Alpha Bomb on Tokyo, Shido takes his leave without warning to join the Anti-Neo-Shocker Committee overseas. However, Shido arranged for Hiroshi to be supported by his old friend Genjiro Tani, who happened to be a mentor to Hirsohi in the past. For the first 19 episodes of New Kamen Rider the hero is known as "Kamen Rider", but in episode 20 Kamen Rider Stronger addresses him as "Skyrider". All of the previous Kamen Riders call him Skyrider and the Neo-Shocker kaijin do so as well after episode 20. Towards the end of the series comic relief is provided by the bumbling, superhero-wannabe, GanGan G. In episode 48, Skyrider has to fight 3 fake Skyriders (Dororingo). As usual the evil Riders wear yellow scarves. Later on, Hiroshi meets his parents who turned out to be alive and held hostage by Neo-Shocker only to sadly part with them for good. This served as a huge maturity point for him. In the finale, the Riders fought the Great Boss of Neo-Shocker. The Leader and Neo-Shocker itself is destroyed at the hands of Skyrider and the Original 7 Riders.
