{{nihongo|'''''Kamen Rider OOO'''''|仮面ライダーOOO|Kamen Raidā Ōzu}} is a 2010–2011 Japanese [[tokusatsu]] drama in [[Toei Company]]'s [[Kamen Rider Series]], being the twelfth series in the [[Heisei period]] run and the twenty-first overall. It began airing on September 5, 2010, the week following the conclusion of ''[[Kamen Rider W]]'',<ref name="uchu129">''Uchusen'', Vol. 129</ref> joining ''[[Tensou Sentai Goseiger]]'' and then ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'' in the [[Super Hero Time]] lineup, until its conclusion on August 28, 2011. The series' titular Kamen Rider made a cameo appearance in the film ''[[Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate]]'' and a supporting character in other Kamen Rider movies. The series centers around medals, animals, and the themes of desire and greed. The series follows Eiji Hino, who becomes Kamen Rider OOO after obtaining the power of the Core Medals, which are linked to three different animal species (the Hawk, Tiger, Cheetah, Stag Beetle, and Grasshopper) and grant him the ability to transform and use various powers.

==Production==
The Kamen Rider OOO trademark was registered by Toei on April 8, 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://seikimatu0.blog59.fc2.com/blog-entry-38.html|title=世紀末ゴン太くんのつぶやき 次回作の仮面ライダー？}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://kwixilvr.hatenablog.com/entry/sentai-rider-precure-trademark-application|title = スーパー戦隊、仮面ライダー、プリキュアの各シリーズにおける新作タイトルの商標登録出願についてまとめてみた}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2010/05/next-kamen-rider-is-000.html|title = Ngee Khiong: Next Kamen Rider is 000?|date = 30 May 2010}}</ref>

''OOO'' is written by [[Yasuko Kobayashi]], known for the screenplays of ''[[Seijuu Sentai Gingaman]]'', ''[[Mirai Sentai Timeranger]]'', ''[[Kamen Rider Ryuki]]'', ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O|Den-O]]'', and ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]''. The creature designers are [[Yutaka Izubuchi]], known for his work on the [[Lord (Kamen Rider)|Lords]] in ''[[Kamen Rider Agito]]'', and [[Tamotsu Shinohara]], known for his work on the [[Mirror Monster]]s of ''Ryuki'', the [[Orphnoch]] of ''[[Kamen Rider 555]]'', and the [[Fangire]]s of ''[[Kamen Rider Kiva]]''.<ref name="uchu129"/>

Unlike several previous Heisei Rider Series, no alternate name has been given yet for the three O's in the title ({{lang|ja|Ｗ（ダブル）}} read as "Double" and {{lang|ja|555（ファイズ）}} read as "&Phi;'s/Phi's/Faiz") aside from an alternate spelling of the name of the main Kamen Rider: Ooz.<ref>''Hyper Hobby'', September 2010</ref> Both "OOO" and "Ooz" are intended to be read as "O's", referring to the multiple uses of the letter [[O]] in the title as well as {{nihongo4|"multiple kings"|王ｓ|Ōzu}}. The title ''OOO'' signifies the three medals that the main Kamen Rider uses to transform as well as being representative of the [[Infinity|infinity symbol]] (<math>\infty</math>) with an additional circle.

The 28th episode of ''Kamen Rider OOO'' serves as the 1000th episode of the [[Kamen Rider Series]] since ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' premiered on April 3, 1971. The episode was originally set to premiere on March 27, 2011. However, due to the [[2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami]], the airing of this episode was postponed by one week to April 3, 2011. For the 999th and 1000th episodes, various guest stars with the kanji for {{nihongo4|thousand|千|chi}} in their name were featured: [[Chiaki (tarento)|Chiaki]], [[Chisato Morishita]], [[Chinatsu Wakatsuki]], and the [[owarai]] duo [[Harisenbon]] (''sen'' also being Japanese for 1000).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/ooo/news/16.html|title=1000回記念ゲスト、4月3日（日）は若槻千夏とハリセンボンが登場！|access-date=2011-04-02}}</ref>
