Villains
The Inhumanoids in Kamen Rider The First are not non-humans as their name would suggest, but rather cyborgs much like the Kamen Riders. The organization's ranks are depicted as having three commanding characters (seen only on screens), as well as several special-class soldiers and unidentified grunts.
- Shocker Staff: Elderly Gentleman (ショッカー幹部・老紳士, Shokkā Kanbu Rōshinshi?): Depicted in the film as the figurehead of Shocker, he is a mysterious elderly man with vampire-like fangs and dons a long black and red cape. During the course of the film, he appears only via satellite on screens in the Shocker headquarters. His physical whereabouts are unknown. He is an adaptation of the original television series' character Doctor Shinigami (死神博士, Shinigami Hakase?).
- Shocker Staff: Lady (ショッカー幹部・美女, Shokkā Kanbu Bijo?): A female commander in the Shocker ranks, she is responsible for the selecting of new Inhumanoid candidates to be inducted into the organization. Like Dr. Shinigami, "Lady" only appears via satellite on screens in the Shocker headquarters, and her physical whereabouts are unknown.
- Shocker Staff: Youth (ショッカー幹部・若者, Shokkā Kanbu Wakamono?): A young male commander in the Shocker ranks, he is responsible for the organization of missions and troop deployment. Like Dr. Shinigami and "Lady", "Youth" only appears via satellite on screens in the Shocker headquarters, and his physical whereabouts are unknown.
- Hopper 1: The brainwashed state of Takeshi Hongo, he is a special-class soldier in the Shocker ranks charged with the carrying out of covert search-and-destroy missions. He later becomes self-aware and defects from Shocker, instead fighting against them as Kamen Rider 1.
- Hopper 2: The brainwashed state of Hayato Ichimonji, he is a special-class soldier in the Shocker ranks charged with hunting and eliminating the traitor, Hopper 1. He later becomes self-aware and begins fighting against Shocker, alongside Hongo, as Kamen Rider 2.
- Spider (スパイダー, Supaidā?): A field captain in the Shocker ranks, he is responsible for covert assassination missions, and is behind several "mysterious" deaths prior to and during the course of the film. He is eventually destroyed by Kamen Rider 1's Rider Kick
- Bat (バット, Batto?): A field captain in the Shocker ranks, he is responsible for the "recruitment" (abduction) of potential Inhumanoid candidates. He is the only Shocker soldier depicted as being capable of flight. He is ultimately destroyed by Kamen Rider 1 and 2's Double Rider Kick.
- Cobra (コブラ, Kobura?): The brainwashed state of Haruhiko Mitamura (三田村 晴彦, Mitamura Haruhiko?), he is a special class soldier assigned to Bat's squadron, and later works independently alongside his romantic interest, Snake. He is mortally wounded by Kamen Rider 1's Rider Kick and dies while holding Snake's lifeless body in his arms.
- Snake (スネーク, Sunēku?): The brainwashed state of Miyoko Harada (原田 美代子, Harada Miyoko?), she is a special class soldier assigned to Bat's squadron, and later works independently alongside her romantic interest, Cobra. She is mortally wounded by Kamen Rider 2's Rider Kick, and dies in Cobra's arms.
