Kamen Rider Gavv (仮面ライダーガヴ, Kamen Raidā Gavu) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series, the 35th entry of Toei Company's Kamen Rider metaseries, and the sixth series to debut during the Reiwa period. The series debuted on September 1, 2024, joining Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger and later, No.1 Sentai Gozyuger in the Super Hero Time lineup after the finale of Kamen Rider Gotchard.[1] It also marks the debut of a snack motif including gummy candies, potato chips, marshmallows, chocolates, and lollipops.
Shoma Stomach, a human-Granute hybrid and child of the Stomach Family, a powerful family of the Granute World, flees the Granute World and becomes stranded on Earth after his mother was slain. There, he discovers that when he consumes snacks, he creates Gochizo, small creatures which he can use to transform into Kamen Rider Gavv. As Gavv, Shoma fights against the rest of the Stomach Family, who killed his human mother and is kidnapping humans for their happiness to transform them into Dark Treats, which she warned him to never eat, renouncing the Stomach name and adopting her surname, Inoue. He is aided by Sachika Amane, CEO of the jack-of-all-trades shop Hapipare, who takes him in, and Hanto Karakida, a freelance writer investigating his mother's kidnapping by a Granute 18 years ago who becomes Kamen Rider Valen after passing though a modification surgery by the researcher Kenzo Suga that gives him the ability to also tap the power of Shoma's Gochizo, unaware that the latter is working with Nyelv, one of the Stomach siblings. Suga and Nyelv analyze the data from Gavv and Valen and experiment on a Granute named Rakia Amarga, who becomes Kamen Rider Vram, and secretly plan to destroy Stomach Inc. from the inside after losing his younger brother to the Dark Sweet's addiction. Suga also uses a sample of Shoma's DNA to create several clones of Shoma who can transform into Kamen Rider Bitter Gavv.
