Using the <strong>My-Th Driver<\/strong> and egg-shaped transformation items called <strong>Ride Eggs<\/strong>, Sora becomes the silver mouse-armoured Kamen Rider My-Th.<\/p>\n<p>His charge, high-schooler <strong>Yuna Mizuki<\/strong> (Riko Horikawa), launches a &#8220;Mysterious Case Study Group&#8221; to investigate the monsters and Riders appearing around them \u2014 giving the series a fun investigative thread alongside its action.<\/p>\n<p>The tagline frames the mythology: <em>&#8220;Awakening from a Century&#8217;s Slumber.

A century ago they fought monstrous creatures called the <em>Fukashigi<\/em> before going into hibernation. Now both sides have re-awakened in the modern world, and Sora finds himself in the middle of a conflict he never asked for.<\/p>\n<p>The cat-and-mouse dynamic is entirely literal. Rival Riders <strong>Kamen Rider MAOU<\/strong> (Keisuke Higashi) and <strong>Kamen Rider RID<\/strong> are cat-themed, creating a built-in predator-prey tension. Further Alliance members include Tigre (Shunya Kaneko), Jyao (Kosei Tsubokura) and the speed-focused Datt (Nanako Ando).<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kamen-rider-my-th-portrait.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kamen Rider MAOU and alter ego Kamuri Minetaka, the cat-themed rival\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Toei Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>A Top-Tier Creative Team<\/h2>\n<p>Head writer <strong>Naruhisa Arakawa<\/strong> is one of the most celebrated names in tokusatsu.
