フレイムライダー
Naoto Kanemaru is the uncle of Satoshi Kanemaru and the older brother of Yūji Kanemaru. Transforming to Flame Rider, he makes use of his advanced technology and arsenal in his fiery suit (not literally), as well as his own fighting or stealth skills. Should I mention that he also has a bike?
Satoshi looked up to Naoto when he was younger, viewing him as the cool uncle. Naoto was also fairly close with Yūji Kanemaru before his death, as the two used to do some fun science experiments together (especially before Satoshi was born). However, Naoto's run-ins with the law as Flame Rider drove him apart from the family, as Yūji and Hanako Kanemaru kept away from him and urged Satoshi to do the same.
Fun Fact
Naoto Kanemaru was originally the Prowler, based on Aaron Davis, who is Miles Morales' uncle. Spider-Wolf's hero-villain relationship with his uncle was a really good concept at first, but Naoto being the Prowler was way too synonymous with Miles Morales, so I don't think it'd fit well for Satoshi Kanemaru. However, I wanted to keep that same relationship with Spider-Wolf and Uncle Naoto and I also wanted to make something similar to Prowler's design. His new suit needed to resemble a Sentai Ranger or a Kamen Rider.
