Description
Shiro Kazami (風見志郎 Kazami Shirō) is Kamen Rider V3 (仮面ライダーＶ３ Kamen Raidā Bui Surī, Masked Rider V3), a fictional character from the Japanese tokusatsu television series Kamen Rider V3, the second in the famous Kamen Rider franchise of tokusatsu programmes. The primary protagonist of the series, Kamen Rider V3 is a motorcycle-riding superhero modeled upon a hybrid of a grasshopper as well as a dragonfly and armed with a variety of powers. His name is short for "Version Three", as he is the 3rd Kamen Rider to appear.

A 22-year-old college student who was the junior of Takeshi at Jōnan University with a major in biochemistry, Kazami coincidentally witnessed the brutal murder of a road worker by a member of the secret terrorist society known only as Destron, which appeared after the destruction of Gel-Shocker and continues its predecessors' goal of world domination. After Shiro nearly got murdered by Destron's agents, Takeshi decided to keep a close eye to protect him.

To rid Destron of its witness, and taking no chances, Scissors Jaguar murdered the entire Kazami family. Though he was forced to watch his family die before his eyes, Shiro was saved from the same grisly fate by the interference of Kamen Riders 1 and 2. Witnessing what their mistakes had cost, the Double Riders decided to confront Destron on their own terms rather than continue waiting for an opportunity to strike. Bent on revenge for his family's deaths, Shiro pleaded the Kamen Riders to give him the power to fight Destron like them. The two Kamen Riders refuse at first, but after Shiro was fatally wounded while saving them, the two decided to honor his wish and convert him into a cyborg.

While performing the reconstruction surgery to save Shiro however, Turtle Bazooka ambushed the Double Riders with his shoulder cannons. Though the Double Riders retaliate, they were too weakened from transmitting their powers onto Shiro and became overwhelmed. Suddenly though, Shiro had appeared to help his predecessors, successfully transforming into Kamen Rider V3. V3 went on to destroy his family's murderer while the Double Riders fought Bazooka Turtle, who now had a nuclear bomb in his body with intentions to destroy Tokyo. The Double Riders, feeling that Shiro is a worthy successor, take Turtle Bazooka away from the city just before the bomb explodes, seemingly sacrificing themselves in the explosion. A horrified V3 then shouts out the Double Riders' names, with the two responding via telepathy. Reassuring V3 that they were alive, Kamen Rider 1 and 2 ask him to protect Japan in their stead, as the two knew they were required to fight Destron's international branches before returning to Japan.

Witnessing Hongo and Ichimonji's selfless actions and recognizing the responsibilities of being a Kamen Rider, Shiro vowed to fight for all those in need, his powers as V3 being needed to stop Destron.

Across the series, Shiro battled Destron's cyborg monsters, eventually uncovering his newfound abilities while battling the likes of Doktor G, Baron Fang, and Archbishop Wing. When faced with Destron's strongest general, Marshal Armor, V3 was joined in his battle by ex-Destron scientist Jōji Yūki/Riderman and the Double Riders.

Eventually, V3 defeated the Destron Leader and departs on his motorcycle to parts unknown.
