Avataro Sentai DonBrothers Press Conference Details- Cast & Trailer Released!

Posted on February 9, 2022 at 6:55 am by Paladin under Super Sentai

Toei has completed their annual Super Sentai press conference, introducing the world to the 46th Super Sentai Series Avataro Sentai DonBrothers!

The DonBrothers team consists of:

*Don Momotaro (Momoi Taro) played by Kohei Higuchi is a young man who arrived on Earth in a peach-shaped capsule as a child. He is a competent swordsman who cannot tell a lie.

*Saru Brother (Shinichi Saruhara) played by Yuki Beppu is known as “The Professor” for his analytical mindset. He fights with brute strength and can quickly spot an opponents’ weakness.

*Oni Sister (Kito Haruka) played by Shida Kohaku is the youngest of the team, an aspiring manga artist with a combat style built on tricking enemies.

*Inu Brother (Tsubasa Inuzuka) played by Totaro is a wanted fugitive at the start of the series, hunting down the one who committed the crime he is accused of. Upon transforming he becomes much shorter and faster.

*Kiji Brother (Tsuyoshi Kijino) played by Hirofumi Suzuki is the oldest of the team; as the series begins he lives a normal life compared to the others. He specializes in aerial combat attacks.

And one familiar face remains in the DonBrothers cast: Kita Komagine, currently playing Kaito Goshikida in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger! Kaito returns in this series as the owner of a coffee shop named DonBro and with a new set of powers- transforming into ZenKaiger Black!

Rounding out the DonBrothers supporting cast is Sohkoh Wada as Jin Momoi– Don Momotaro’s foster parent. Jin found the peach-shaped capsule containing Momoi Taro as a child; after coming into contact with the child Jin stopped aging. As the series begins Jin is in prison but can appear to the others using a holographic projection of himself.

The enemies of the Avataro Sentai DonBrothers are a group known as the Brain Persons! This villain team has three core members:

*Sonoi (played by Yuya Tominaga) is the calm-headed leader who loves painting.
*Sononi (played by Amisa Miyazaki) is a woman obsessed with human affairs.
*Sonoza (played by Shinnosuke Takahashi) is a man fascinated by human emotions since he cannot control his own.

The opening theme to DonBrothers is I Am The Only One! performed by MORISAKI WIN and features a dance sequence demonstrated by the cast:

Avataro Sentai DonBrothers begins on March 6 2022!

Posted on December 21, 2021 at 10:00 am by Paladin under Super Sentai

Toei has published the first official images of the 46th Super Sentai Series- Avataro Sentai DonBrothers!

DonBrothers is a five-member Sentai team consisting of:

*Red Ranger Don Momotaro
*Blue Ranger Saru Brother
*Yellow Ranger Oni Sister

Lastly, a quick promotional shot gives us a look at Don Momotaro’s personal vehicle- the EnyaRideon!

Avataro Sentai DonBrothers is expected to begin in 2022. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this new chapter in Super Sentai history!

Maito Fujioka, Son Of Hiroshi Fujioka To Play Takeshi Hongo In Kamen Rider Beyond Generations

Posted on November 29, 2021 at 5:31 pm by Paladin under Kamen Rider

Toei has chosen a very unique anniversary celebration for the upcoming Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations movie!

A sequence of the film will take place in 1971 featuring the very first Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo. Previously this role had been played by legendary actor Hiroshi Fujioka but at 75 he no longer resembles the original character.

The role instead falls to Maito Fujioka– Hiroshi’s own son!

A recent video interview with Maito Fujioka discusses the importance of the role & confirmed that his father remained on set for filming.

Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations will be released on December 17 2021!

Team Kamen Rider – Shout! Factory – SDCC 2021 Special Edition Panel Recap

Posted on November 28, 2021 at 11:06 am by Toku Chris under Conventions, Kamen Rider, San Diego Comic Con

On Saturday at the San Diego Comic Con 2021 Special Edition convention there was a panel with Team Kamen Rider of Bluefin Brands/Bandai-Namco and Shout! Factory/Shout! Factory TV/TokuSHOUTsu.  The panel concluded with the official North American premiere of Kamen Rider Zero-One: REALxTIME movie.  Attendees at the panel also received a swag-bag upon leaving.

We’ve recapped the panel and included some of the question and answers segment towards the end.

David and AJ from Team Kamen Rider, Ari from Shout! Factory on panel.

  • A brief overview of the history of Team Kamen Rider
  • All Heisei and Reiwa belts on display sent from TOEI
  • How can you support if you can’t purchase?
    • Share social media posts
    • Do surveys
    • Stream TokuSHOUTsu (for free)
  • New t-shirts on Amazon (soon)
    • Kamen Rider Gaim shirt
    • Kamen Rider Revice shirt
    • Kamen Rider 50th Anniversary shirt (logos)
  • Premium Bandai US
    • Kamen Rider V-Braclet
    • Kamen Rider Tamagotchi 50th Anniversary
  • Kamen Rider Manga & Comic Books coming 2022
    • Stonebot Comics (from South America)
    • Starting with Kuuga Manga (fully translated)
    • Then Kamen Rider Zero-One (original creation)
    • More details coming soon, approval for announcement only came 30 hours ago
  • TokuSHOUTsu
    • Kamen Rider Zero-One streaming begins January 1st 2022
    • More to come soon, especially outside the Big 3 (Kamen Rider/Sentai/Ultraman)
    • Kamen Rider Zero-One BluRay
      • Removed interlacing
      • Hard Subs
      • Original audio masters from Toei, so the sound is incredible
  • Some of the Q&A for Team Kamen Rider (TKR) & Shout! Factory (SF)/TokuSHOUTsu
    • American adaptation of Kamen Rider possible?
      • TKR:  “Do you want an adaptation or do you want an original creation?”
    • Can we get more series on BluRay?
      • SF:  “If Zero-One does well we can approach it.  We’ve talked about maybe a box set for the original series.  But we’re a small company so we need to see the return on what’s already being done.”
    • Is there anyway we can ask for specific seasons or series to be brought over?
      • SF:  “Use our social channels.  I can tell you I’ve gotten a ton of requests for Dragon Knight, followed by Metal Heroes.  But we talk to our own departments, and Toei, and come up with a plan after that.”
    • What about maybe dubbing a series?
      • SF:  “Yeah I’m sorry I really hate those.” – lol
    • What about action figures (not SH Figuarts)?
      • TKR:  Been working/fighting for those.  The same department that does RKF’s does DX Belts, so if the DX Belts do well it opens the door to potentially get the RKF’s out here.
    • Any plans to do these Kamen Rider movie releases in theaters via Fathom Events?  What about special episodes or movies for already-streaming properties, like Ryuki?
      • SF:  The plan for Heisei Generations FOREVER was actually to have it in theaters, and then the pandemic happened.  As the world gets back to normal it can be revisited.  As for the Ryuki special episode(s) or movies, if we were to do a physical release of the series, that is something we would then look to include, but currently no plans to stream it.
    • Fans from Mexico want Kamen Rider but don’t have access to watch it.  Is there any plans to expand?
      • SF:  Yes.  Been looking in to expanding in to new territories.  But we have a lot of properties and we can’t just drop in and go, we have to acquire the rights to those territories and Latin America is one area that I think we would want to move in to as Toei has a strong presence in a lot of those countries.  I wouldn’t expect anything in the next year, but definitely in the next few years, I would say there’s a really good chance.
