Zyuranger Meets Mighty Morphin at Power Morphicon

Posted on July 21, 2014 at 12:36 pm by Chris under Conventions, Kamen Rider, Power Morphicon, Power Rangers, Super Sentai

Today was one of the biggest announcements yet for this year’s Official Power Morphicon convention. Promising an unbelievable announcement for today’s guest revealing was an understatement – fans of Power Rangers and Super Sentai now have a reason to come together.

Headlining today’s guest announcement is Yuuta Mochizuki, better known as Geki the Tyranno Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, the series that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was adapted from. Basically, the original Red Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Tyranno Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger will be appearing at a convention together for possibly the first and only time.

Also from the press release sent directly from the Official Power Morphicon convention comes the announcement that Hiroshi Maeda, a professional Japanese stunt actor, will be appearing at the show. You’ll know him best as the stunt actor for Tyranno Ranger in Zyuranger, as well as numerous other Red Rangers for the Power Rangers franchise. And last but not least – Yasuhiro Takeuchi, another Japanese stunt actor who played both Dragon Ranger in Zyuranger as well as the Green Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. On top of that, he has also worn many of the Megazord suits for filming.

The Official Power Morphicon convention happens August 22nd to August 24th at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California. Tickets are still available (but only for a couple of more weeks) – click here to begin your registration process so you don’t miss out!

Please read the full press release after the jump!

Pasadena, CA – Power Morphicon, the official Power Rangers convention, is proud to announce that Super Sentai and Henshin actors, Yuuta Mochizuki, Hiroshi Maeda and Yasuhiro Takeuchi will be making their first U.S. convention appearance at Power Morphicon next month.

The three-day event will be held on August 22-24th at the Pasadena Convention Center.

Yuuta Mochizuki is best known for his role as Geki, the red Tyranno Ranger, from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, which Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, was adapted from.

Mochizuki is also known as J1 of the Neo-Jetman in Choujin Sentai Jetman, played the role of Koji Segawa/KamenRider J and has performed as the second Tuxedo Mask in the Sailor Moon musical.

Mochizuki recently reprised his role as Geki in the 2014 film, Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters: The Great Dinosaur Battle! Farewell our Eternal Friends.

Hiroshi Maeda is a professional Japanese stunt man and suit actor who is best known for portraying the Tyranno Ranger in the 1992 Super Sentai series Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.

Maeda went on to play the red ranger in Saban’s Power Rangers series in Mighty Morphin, Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, and Ninja Storm.

Maeda’s also known for playing Kamen Rider 1 in two films: Kamen Rider: The First and Kamen Rider: The Next, as well as playing Dragon Knight in Kamen Rider Dragon Knight.

Yasuhiro Takeuchi is a professional Japanese stunt man and suit actor who is known to have recurring roles in many Super Sentai series. Takeuchi has worn both Rangers and mecha (zords) suits.

Takeuchi is one of two stunt actors to portray the Dragon Ranger in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger (the Green Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers).

Takeuchi’s long list of credits include Mythical Chi Beast RyuseiOh (Red Dragon Thunderzord in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), the Mega Winger (Power Rangers In Space), V-Rex(Power Rangers Time Force’s Q-Rex), Timeranger Blue & Green (Power Rangers Time Force’s Blue & Green Rangers), Shinken Green (Power Rangers Samurai’s Green Ranger), Gokai Green (Power Rangers Super Megaforce’s Green Ranger), and more recently in Ressha Sentai ToQger as the ToQ 4gou (Green Ranger), which is currently airing in Japan.

All three actors will join over 100 confirmed guests at Power Morphicon next month.

This will mark the first time a Japanese Super Sentai actor, Yuuta Mochizuki, will be meeting his American Power Ranger counterpart, Austin St. John, both of whom played the lead role in their respective series as the Red Ranger.

    I never understood why it's always in the same location every year. Is it because it just for that city or what? I just want something like this in Houston, that's all

    Nope, never going to go to one of these things it seems if they can't do it earlier in the summer. Classes for me start August 20th. Not flying to CA for that weekend just to come back to more classes.

    I always travel across Australia on weekends during Uni to see conventions! I wish I was in America, I'd totally do that!

    But no, I'm still really pissed off at the assholeness that was their April Fool's Joke of hosting it in New Zealand, which I got really excited for because I could've flown there only for it to be "LOLZ AS IF WE'D GIVE ANY ATTENTION TO ANYONE OTHER THEN AMERICA". Botcon, Morphicon, SDCC, E3... You Americans really don't know how lucky you are to be geeks in the USA!

    I really want to go, but I don't think I'm going any time soon. Definitely would want to go and meet other more people like me and probably check out the toys there. Also want to meet some of the rangers there. But only I can dream of that morphenomenal experience.

    I wish the entire Time Force & Lightspeed Rescue team showed up.

    Plus it would be nice for Canada to get a power morphicon too.
