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.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?
