For US fans, another loss in 2023 was the closure of Generation Kikaida, the business who licensed Kikaida and Kamen Rider. Their CEO was the manager of the nihongo no terebi KIKU channel 13 station. She brought Ban Daisuke to Hawaii for the last time in January 2023 and closed their business several months later. So sad to me for the owaru to be truly final this time.
