Happy 85th birthday to Susumu Kurobe! 🎂

Born Takashi Yoshimoto on October 22, 1939, Kurobe is primarily known for his role as Shin Hayata/Ultraman in the TV series Ultraman (1966-1967). He has reprised this role, as well as done a few other roles besides Hayata, in several other Ultraman TV series and movies.

However, Kurobe is also widely known for his villain roles in other tokusatsu shows (that his role as Hayata/Ultraman seems an outlier, lol).

He is the father of Takami Yoshimoto, who played Rena in Ultraman Tiga. They appeared together in Great Decisive Battle: The Super 8 Ultra Brothers in 2008.
