Do you even know what the above avatar is?

I'm gonna go with everybody else here and say Kamen Rider...which iirc is sort of like a Power Ranger, but it came first?
Technically, yes. The Japanese counterpart to Power Rangers, Super Sentai, began after Kamen Rider did - with its first series, Himitsu Sentai Goranger. The relative "meh" reaction to the second series, JAKQ Dengekitai, caused the creator - Shotaro Ishinomori (You may recognise the name as being the one behind Cyborg 009) - to stop working on Sentai directly. The other Ishinomori toku franchise, Kamen Rider, was more well received at the time, and he continued to work on shows up to Kamen Rider Black RX, then worked on several movies before his passing. Riders that had Ishinomori's involvement back at the time when they were broadcast are known as "Showa Riders", and those created after his passing (starting with Kuuga) are known as "Heisei Riders" despite the actual Heisei era already beginning by the time Shin, ZO and J came out.

And no, you haven't found out the Rider in my picture yet

I'll give you a hint: This form made its debut in the summer movie for Kamen Rider Double, and surprisingly enough, it's no-frills involved - CG effects are lacking compared to the usual Heisei Rider, and that's reflected in his battle style - no weapons, and only two finishers: Rider Punch, and Rider Kick.

The above avatar is a deer.

Something related to Kamen Rider
 
Looks like some sort of Kyurem like dragon
 
Video game character

Chidamari got it right
 
My first thought was Touhou when I saw that sig for the first time, before others pointed it out - if only because it's one of the few things I recognise based on the memes alone.

Second, putting it in a spoiler so everyone can continue guessing for yourself, but somehow I managed to find it through Google without the image already identifying the character!

Also it looks like that hat's mirrored in the avatar, maybe that's why Google reverse doesn't find it...
