Why is Kamen Rider called Kamen Rider? What's the point?

Kamen Rider was originally named Mianmian ラィダー, which means "Knight in Mask". It was originally written by Shintaro Ishishou, and its original intention was to create a tragic hero image that transformed people. The following is my personal understanding of the word "Kamen Rider".

"Mask" means mask. Wearing a mask of justice, no one will know who he is.

"Knight" can refer to both motorcyclists and chivalry. This is a belief, a belief in justice.

Together, these two words constitute "Kamen Rider". Even if no one knows who he is, he will silently protect the weak. He undertakes everything alone, knowing that it will not bring any benefits to his life, but he still insists. In his heart, what is hidden is the unchanging belief in this life. Loneliness doesn't matter, and pain doesn't matter. Fighting for mankind is enough. He doesn't pursue personal fame and fortune, because there is only body and spirit under the mask. This is Kamen Rider. Even without strong power, you will have the determination and courage to fight against evil forces. This is Kamen Rider. Anyone can do it, Kamen Rider!
