You know olympics (london 2012 ) is over but i thought of some special olympic theme thing for both tokusatsu franchise (kamen rider and super sentai) if toei can use them ,it can be used to dedicate to the 2016 summer Olympics (Rio 2016) (or the winter olympics 2012 (sochi 2014) if japan is interested),which mean's a short special olympic theme shorts or net movies for both kamen rider and super sentai franchise ,They may consist of 5 or 8 short episodes since they are non-canon and are not part of the main franchise.

for super sentai:
The main enemies might be based on the cheating techniques from the Olympics ,and they want to ruin the Olympics,then the main heroes of the special Olympic theme for super sentai shorts in their untransformed forms will be played by the real 5 or 6 Japanese athletes for the summer (or winter) Olympics,while their transformed forms will be played by stunt men to do some little fighting and more Olympic athlete competing technique to fit the theme,the color of the Olympic special sentai costume will represented by the color of the Olympic rings,their mecha will consist of 5 people mecha's that represents the (sports of the olympics) and their combined mecha will represent an athlete holding the Olympic cauldron with medals.after the short ends,it concludes with the behind the scenes of the shorts with the athletes interviewing how they play their part including their stunt men about the shorts and the meaning of the Olympics
For kamen rider
The main enemies might be based on the cheating techniques from the Olympics but also on the doping thing including losing the confidence of the athletes as well, the main rider actor will be played by a real male Japanese athlete while his rider form suit actor will be played by a stuntmen who also does some little fighting thing and more Olympic athlete competing technique to fit the theme,the costume of the rider will be based on the Olympic ring things even the belt will be based on Olympic medals or Olympic rings while the eyes or forms will represent the color of the Olympic rings.His rider kick will be followed by the rings of the Olympics to defeat the enemy.after the short ends,it concludes with the behind the scenes of the shorts with the athlete interviewing how they play their part including hteir stunt men about the shorts and the meaning of the Olympics.
What do you think if toei can use the Olympic theme dedicated to Rio 2016 (or winter olympics) then toei can use this for the Olympic special net movies of both super sentai and kamen rider franchise but not to the main TV ones.

honestly a tokusatsu like olympic based character could only work if it were a mascot for the next japan games ala Tokyo 2020.

i had this tokusatsu inspired olympic or paralympic mascot for tokyo 2020 in my head mostly named "Flame Nippon". he is mostly inspired by older tokusatsu from the 70s and it's suppose to have a campy feel to it. he uses a mini olympic torch to light up a cauldron like belt to henshin, and can change into five/three different modes based on the olympic/paralympic colors.

Honestly, a Sentai-style group of mascots would work rather well for a future Japanese Olympics; even though Sentai itself isn't all that well known outside of Japan, Power Rangers very much is. So while your average western viewer wouldn't get that it's actually Sentai and what it means to the Japanese themselves, they'd still be at least somewhat aware of the style of media and entertainment it represents, via Power Rangers.

Plus, you'd have five coloured suits for five coloured rings. Makes sense to me. The rings could even be incorporated into the helmets, like those halo-like rings you sometimes see on Asian deities, mythological beings and the like.
