Re-using Child Actors in Toei Tokusatsu


Hisashi Sakai
He played a young Burai in Zyuranger (1992) and then played Kou in Kibaranger (1993), so technically he is the only actor who has played two Sixth Rangers.


Arashi Fukasawa
He first played a young Jan in Gekiranger (2007) and then Wataru/Kamen Rider Kiva in Kamen Rider Decade (2009).

Very interesting stuff. I definitely like your columns. Sorry if all my questions like this annoy you, but I had another. Those big monster spreadsheets like this one :http://www.SuperSentai.com/database/1979_battle_fever_j/images/battle-vi-monsters_lr.jpg Where do they come from, and do they exist for Goranger and JAKQ too?

The book I have doesn't have Goranger and JAKQ, it was printed in 1991, when they weren't counted as Super Sentai until 1995.

Say, I also couldn't help but notice that a lot of your character descriptions and whatnot are similar to those used by Wikipedia. Are you a member there? They actually have a Tokusatsu project there...

Moves eyes side to side, yeah let's say that.

Arashi Fukasawa was defintely a good choice as Young Jan and young Wataru, as he resembles Kouji Seto aswell as Hiroki Suzuki.

So in sentai, the Green Ranger did become the White Ranger too! Kinda, sorta. That's kinda neat.
