Kamen Rider Drive is a Japanese tokusatsu television series serving as the 16th Heisei Kamen Rider Series, and 25th series overall. Riku Sanjo returns to the Kamen Rider Series to serve as Drive's lead screenwriter, with Ryuta Tasaki as director. It premiered on TV Asahi and affiliate stations throughout Japan on October 5, 2014, one week following its preceding series Kamen Rider Gaim's finale. The series joined Ressha Sentai ToQger, then Shuriken Sentai Ninninger in the Super Hero Time programming block until its conclusion on September 27, 2015. Drive is peculiar among the heroes in the Kamen Rider franchise, as his motif and main mode of transportation is a car, rather than the signature motorcycles used by his predecessors.
