Tokusatsu Voice Actor Eiji Maruyama Dead at 84

Posted on October 21, 2015 at 5:18 pm by Paladin under Uncategorized

We have sadly been informed of the death of voice actor Eiji Maruyama, who passed away last month at the age of 84.

Maruyama played numerous villains throughout multiple Kamen Rider, Metal Hero and Super Sentai shows, with his most iconic roles being Daizyujin in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger and Dr. Shinigami in Kamen Rider: The First.

Our thoughts are with his friends and family in these difficult times.

Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive Movie Wars Genesis Poster & Plot Synopsis

Posted on October 16, 2015 at 11:33 pm by Den-O under Kamen Rider

A new poster has just surfaced for the upcoming winter crossover film, Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive Movie Wars Genesis! Unconfirmed before now this poster shows us that not only will Kamen Rider Specter be playing a siginifcant roll, but Kamen Rider Chaser will also return! More over we have also our first look at Drive’s new form exclusive to the movie, Kamen Rider Zero Drive!

According to a plot synopsis courtesy of The Ghouly News the movie plays out as follows, with some big surprises not only for the villain of the film, but our heroes as well! Major spoilers below:

Spoiler:
The Greatest Genius of the Century vs. the Kamen Riders! A mystery from 10 years ago leads to Ghost and Drive’s “beginning”…

After encountering each other while chasing a Ganma, Takeru and Shinnosuke are thrown 10 years into the past after a rift in space-time suddenly opens. Shinnosuke encounters Mr. Belt before they had originally met while Takeru finds his father, Ryu Tenkuuji, before he passed away.

Meanwhile, the Roidmude have revived in the present. Kamen Rider Spectre and Kamen Rider Mach work together in a desperate attempt to stop them. As if he were Mach’s guardian spirit, Kamen Rider Chaser arrives to help.

Takeru is determined to save his father in the past, not realizing that it’s a trap created by the greatest genius of the century, revived as a Ganma, Leonardo Da Vinci! With his friend in danger, Shinnosuke will don the Drive Driver once more as Kamen Rider Zero Drive!

Sounds like we’re in for one spooky ride with this film! Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive Movie Wars Genesis opens in Japanese theaters December 12th!

Yoshi Sudarso to Cameo in Ninninger Next Week!

Posted on October 10, 2015 at 9:33 pm by Den-O under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

File this one under totally unexpected and totally awesome! Word has just dropped on Yoshi Sudarso’s facebook page, and been officially confirmed on the Toei Ninninger site, that Yoshi will be making a brief cameo in next week’s episode of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! 

In Yoshi’s words this will only be a “quick cameo”, but this is pretty exciting and very unusual. This actually marks the first time ever that a Power Ranger actor (from the excellent Dino Charge no less!) will make an appearance in an episode of a Sentai! This episode also marks the return of Metal Hero Jiraiya! So this is going to be one very exciting extra special episode of the series.

Whether you’ve continued following Ninninger or not we think it’s safe to say that this is one episode that people across the world will be tuning in to! We’ll see you next week Yoshi!

Kamen Rider Ghost X Kamen Rider Drive Movie War Genesis Story Details Revealed

Posted on October 8, 2015 at 10:12 am by Paladin under Kamen Rider

Some new information regarding the upcoming Movie War between Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Ghost has surfaced online!

Of particular interest, recent reports indicate that Movie War Genesis will be presented as a single contained story featuring both Riders. This is a drastic change of pace from previous Movie Wars, which generally feature three separate story bits (one for each Rider and only a short teamup at the very end).

The director of Movie War Genesis has also been announced- Osamu Kaneda, veteran of Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden and Super Hero Taisen will direct the film. The script will be written by Makoto Hayase– a newcomer to the tokusatsu genre.

Movie War Genesis will be released in theaters on December 12 2015! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all cinematic details!
