Actor Taiki Matsuno has sadly passed away due to a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 56.
Matsunos’ major roles in Super Sentai included the voice of Shurikenger in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger and Spell-Master Pierre in KyuKyu Sentai GoGoV.
Our thoughts are with Taiki Matsuno’s friends & family in this difficult time.
Although it’s a little early this month some new initial magazine scans are leaking out from the latest issues and the subjects this month are Kamen Rider Ghost & Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! Here’s a rundown of the highlights:
– Shurikenger is set to appear in Ninninger along with returning heroes Ninja Red, Hurricane Red, & Jiraiya. It seems that despite the non-anniversary nature of this show it continues to rely on cameos.
– Ghost Tokon Boost Damashii & Benkei Damashii. Tokkon Boost will make it’s debut in Movie Wars Genesis. Benkei will be appearing in upcoming December episodes.
– DVD Exclusive Specter Pythagoras Damashii revealed. Apparently the same DVD special as Ghost Ikkyu Damashii.
– New villain Javelle will also be making his debut. He has a human form but uses the Ganma Transformation Eyecon to become the Superior Ganma.
What do you think of these upcoming developments? Let us know in the thread below!
