Summary

Joji Yuki (結城 丈二, Yūki Jōji) is a former member of the organization known as Destron who becomes Riderman (ライダーマン, Raidāman) to seek vengeance against General Yoroi. He is also known as The Avenging Demon or Kamen Rider 4 (仮面ライダー4号, Kamen Raidā Yongō).

A former "Destron" scientist, Joji Yuki is now wearing an enhanced suit developed by his own hands. When he was a member of Destron, Yuki was so outstanding that he was even noticed by the head of Destron, but General Yoroi, who felt displeased with him, had him stigmatized as a traitor and sentenced him to execution. He loses his right arm in a brutal execution in which he is dissolved in a pool of sulfuric acid, but Yuki's assistants intervene and save his life. Yuki, now hunted by Destron as a traitor, is fitted with an artificial arm in place of his lost right arm and becomes Rider-Man, vowing revenge against General Yoroi.
