Toku Facts

"In Kamen Rider Drive’s second episode during the scene where one of the Roidmude’s (the shows monsters) is going through computer files in its miniature car form, you can see what appears to be one of Shotaro Hidari’s hats from Kamen Rider W. Specifically (the one described as) his favorite"

"In Kamen Rider Ryuki a majority of the action scenes had the camera flipped.* Because of this the suit actors had to hold there props in the opposite hand then the one that appeared on screen. This of course caused problems for some of the actors, Takaiwa Seiji (the suit actor for Ryuki at the time) had even said that he hopes that the staff could make a background that would that would already have everything reversed so he could use his right hand, not his left."

*This was because of most of the action scenes in Ryuki took place in the Mirror World. Which was a dimension where everything was reversed like a mirror.

Tohru Hirayama and Takao Nagishi (whose names are shown at the end of Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider) are both men who had major effects on the Kamen Rider  and Super Sentai franchises.

Tohru Hirayama was the producer for the Kamen Rider franchise during the Showa Era (he started with the original, and his last project was ZX), and Himitsu Sentai Goranger. He was also one of the co-creators for Kamen Rider Stronger.

Sadly, at the age of 84, he had passed away in 2013 due to heart failure.

Takao Nagaishi was a director for Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. He was assistant director for the original Kamen Rider, he had directed for every Heisei Rider from Kuuga to Decade. Along with Kamen Rider Den-O's movie "Kamen Rider Den-O: I am born!" and Kamen Rider: The First. When it comes to Super Sentai, he had directed certain episodes of Hikari Sentai Maskman, Choujuu Sentai Liveman, Kousoku Sentai Turboranger, and Denji Sentai Megaranger. (He had also directed the Maskman and Turboranger movies)

He had also passed away in 2013 at the age of 63, because of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy is when parts of the brain start to deteriorate and die)

Mod Note: Basically what happened is my last attempt at posting this had false information, and I ended up posting it without knowing that (and the worst part is that people saw it) and since I said I would post the second part (It was going to be a two parter) I decided I would just make a fixed version of the last post and write in the second part.

"Toshiki Inoue, a regular writer/screen writer for Kamen Rider (he has written most Heisei Riders up until Decade) and for a short time, Super Sentai. Some of the other shows Toshiki has written for are:  Yu-Gi-Oh (the anime adaption, and it was the original series), Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, Iron-man (Marvel Anime version), Ranma ½,Cutie Honey: The live, and Death Note."

"The actor who played Harouto Souma from Kamen Rider Wizard, Shunya Shiraishi had said how he wants to climb Mt. Fuji in order to look at Japan from atop the mountain. But then stated how he can’t stand going a couple days (a mountain as big as Mt. Fuji would take a few days to climb) without a Washlet. (A Washlet is a type of Toilet that doesn't use Toilet Paper, but instead shoots water up. They are commonly used in other countries.)"

"Walter Emmanuel Jones and Jason David Frank (original Black and Green Rangers respectively) were both separate guest stars on the 90’s Sitcom Family Matters. They appeared in the episodes “Teachers Pet” were Walter  had made a quick cameo and the episode “Karate Kids” where Jason had played as a member of “The Piranhas” a bully group, which had kept Urkel and 3j from the park."

Mod Note: I am really sorry that I didn't post anything for the last few days. I wasn't able to use the computer (or at least the one with Photoshop) for long enough to make anything (don't ask why), but in order to try and avoid things like this happening again I am going to try and make these posts earlier and then queue them. I am also going to try and make the horribly late 200+ followers post sometime soon, so watch out for that.

"In 2013 Jason David Frank had broken the world record for most pine boards broken during freefall by breaking seven boards. The record was later broken by Ernie Torres who broke 12 boards."

It could also possibly be that Leo’s history is actually talked about in an SIC Story called “Lost World” or something, which is a prelude to the Paradise Lost movie. It also explains why people like Delta wasn’t in the movie.

It doesn't look like they explained anything about Leo's character, all that appears to be explained about Pysga is that after Leo had found Murakami's disembodied head and rescued it (somehow leaving Murakami still alive) they made a deal that after bringing Murkami's head to Smart Brain he would get to have one of the kings belt's (this was discussed when Leo found the head and is the only reason Murkami was alive). This is all according to a Jefusion article.

But this still doesn't give a motive for why he did what he did, just why he was chosen to be given a belt.

Psyga’s number is actualy 315. I don’t know why we don’t have a Psyga day, though.

I don't know why I thought Pysga's number was 000 (probably because they're both supposed to be the same), but thank you for the correction.

I think the reason we don't really have a Pysga day is because we were never given much information on Pysga's character, most movie rider's were at least given some sort of motive explained in exposition (Ryuga wanting to be a real human, Ibuki wanting to be Immortal/strong, Eternal wanting to leave in impression on the world, etc) whereas Pysga (I'm pretty sure) never got any explanation for what his motive was, most of what we learned about him is that 1: He has a magic killing finger and 2: He speaks English. Unlike Kusaka who was given much more character then Pysga and overall was far more memorable then Pysga (well character wise).

Now I am not saying Pysga was bland or that Kusaka was a more likable character then him (honestly they tie for how much I like them but then again I didn't find Kaixa as bad of character as everyone else does). And a Pysga day would be cool, but it probably won't happen. Unless someone tries to start one next year *Cliche Wink*.

…I just suggested people punch Out their local Masato Kusaka. that’s what the ‘celebration’ is, a mockery of Kamen Rider’s biggest asshole.

I understand that, but everyone always makes fun of Masato, no matter what day it is. And most of the Kaixa day posts that I've seen were just Gif sets and fanart.

But I guess you can't have some date specific thing for any other rider since Faiz was only possible back in 2005 and since Orga along with Pysga only used zeros you can't really do anything for them. Although I am not against Kaixa day since a day dedicated to him means more cool fanart.

But the one thing that really bugs me about Kaixa day is that I have no god dang idea were my local Masato Kusaka is!

"There are multiple different Kamen Riders which only appeared in specific Stage Shows and events. Most of which had reused or repainted belts and many of them were female."

Mod Note: If you want to know who some of the Riders are (and want to know what they look like) just check the source.

I'm sorry about how late this post is (Okay it's not too late but still I'm sorry). I also have an Idea of what I might do for the 200 followers special that I am going to propose tomorrow.

"Momotaros (from Kamen Rider Den-O) voice actor Toshihiko Seki has played 215 different roles and in 2004 he was chosen as the 9th best voice actor in Japan by Animage Magazine’s 26th annual reader’s poll. Some of his more popular roles include Senketsu (Kill La Kill), Rau Le Creuset (Mobile Suit Gundam SEED), and Duval (One Piece)."

I"n 2006 there was a cross country Power Rangers event made to celebrate the franchise’s 15 anniversary, the event was called 'Get Powerized' and had held a raffle for an exclusive gold version of the Galaxy Megazord from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. This version of the Galaxy Megazord is possibly the rarest piece of Power Rangers merchandise with having been rumored to only have 3 figures ever released. One of which is owned by Haim Saban."

Celebrate with the one team that has almost 200 on their side, Gokaiger

I'd love to something Gokaiger related, it's just I don't really have anything to do for Gokaiger. All I have is one or two raw behind the scenes videos that I could post and a forum for all of the easter eggs and references hidden in the show (Which I've been meaning to share anyway), and that's really it. Now If I do find anything Gokaiger related I will make sure to post it, and thanks for the suggestion it's a really cool idea and since Gokaiger is loved by a majority of the fanbase I am sure it would be something everyone could enjoy (seriously I've only ever seen one person hate on Gokaiger).
