Heisei (平成?) is the current era in Japan after the Shōwa period. The Heisei era started on 8 January 1989, the first day after the death of the reigning Emperor, Hirohito. His son, Akihito, succeeded to the throne.
In accordance with Japanese customs, Hirohito was posthumously renamed "Emperor Shōwa" on 31 January.
Being completely absent from television during the 1990s, the Kamen Rider franchise was kept alive mainly by stage shows, musical CDs, and the Shin, ZO, and J movies, though many
fans classify the movies as part of the Showa series as they treat Shotaro Ishinomori's passing in 1998 as the end of the Showa era.The Heisei revival of the Kamen Rider Series
began with Kamen Rider Kuuga in 2000, this was noted in Kamen Rider Decade (2009), the tenth Heisei era series which initally united the first nine Heisei series, also giving focus on
the Shōwa period despite being only 38 years since the start of the series due to Decade's position as the 25th Rider hero.Aside from the Showa and Heisei era, there is a third era
recognised by some fans within the Heisei era, known as the "Neo-Heisei" era, it containing the post-Kamen Rider Decade series installments which started with Kamen Rider W (2009-2010).
The newest is KAMEN RIDER GAIMU (still waiting for his figuarts)
