Century King Shadow Moon (世紀王シャドームーン Seiki Ō Shadō Mūn?) is a fictional character who serves as the primary antagonist in the Japanese tokusatsu drama Kamen Rider BLACK. In all of Shadow Moon's appearances, he is voiced by Masaki Terasoma, including the 3D short film Kamen Rider World.[1] In Kamen Rider SD, he is voiced by Kaneto Shiozawa.[2]

[edit] History

Shadow Moon is the alter ego of Nobuhiko Akizuki (秋月 信彦 Akizuki Nobuhiko?), who had been abducted by Gorgom to become one of their new kings.[3] Shadow Moon is both the step-brother and rival to Kotaro Minami/Kamen Rider BLACK RX[4], both having been abducted by Gorgom in their childhood, with Kotaro escaping. Both utilize the Kingstone to transform.[5]

[edit] Kamen Rider Media

Shadow Moon is one of the few villains in the Kamen Rider Series to be given an action figure[6], Sochaku Henshin figure[7], and a S.I.C. figure.[8][9][10] He is also one of the few Kamen Rider villains to have a Rider Kick, without being a Kamen Rider himself.[11] Shadow Moon was also featured as the first Secret Rare card in the Rangers Strike Masked Rider Expansion Vol. 1 and the only character in the Dark Alliance group in the Masked Rider Expansion Vol. 1.[12]
