Kamen Rider OOO Synopsis
Premise

Eiji Hino is a man who has no dreams, no job, and no family. When animal-like monsters called Greeed awaken after their 800 year slumber to attack humans and feed off of their desire, a bird-type Greeed called Anku gives Eiji a belt and three Medals to fight the Greeed so he can become the predestined Multi King. This allows Eiji to become Kamen Rider OOO. The mysterious Kougami Foundation approaches him and begins assisting him in his fight against the Greeed, but their true motives are not clear. When Eiji fights for the first time, he starts to realize what it means "to be alive".

Kamen Rider OOO Ride Vendor


Besides having an upbeat intro music for the series, a Kamen Rider won't be complete without the bike. The Ride Vendor is Kamen Rider OOO's personal bike, which is a modified Honda VT 750 C2B Shadow Black Spirit mass-produced by the Kougami Foundation. The cool thing about it is that it normally looks like an ordinary vending machine, until OOO or any member from the foundation inserts a medal to either transform it to a bike, or release "candroids". Candroids are special support robots that transforms into its original can mode into animal mode (also seen in the opening).
