Via Yahoo News Japan we have just learned of the passing of a titanic figure in the Japanese tokusatsu industry. Chikara Hashimoto, perhaps best known for his role as the mighty demon god Daimajin in the Daiei Film trilogy, has passed away at 83. Mr. Hashimoto sadly lost a battle with lung cancer on October 10th, though news of his passing has only just begun to reach the west.

Chikara Hashimoto is best known as the suit actor of Daimajin. He also played the part of the Yokai Daimon in the 2nd film of Daiei’s Yokai trilogy, Spook Warfare. However he is also well known for his role in the Bruce Lee film Fist of Fury as dojo grandmaster Hirshoi Suzuki.

We extend our condolences on behalf of the entire community to Mr. Hashimoto’s family. Truly his performances are unforgettable. If you’ve never watched the Daimajin trilogy, I would personally recommend it at some point. They are a true testament to what can be achieved with traditional special effects.

“I was born for this purpose. It is what I do…”

Thanks to the sleuthing of Twitter user @_Erasu we have the news that Alien Zarab will soon be joining the ever-growing lineup of Ultraman S.H. Figuarts! First appearing in the 18th episode of the original series (“Brother from Another Planet”), the deceptive Zarab race has gone on to appear in Ultraman Mebius, Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle, Ultraman X and more.

From the pictures provided we can see that Alien Zarab will come with his portable communication device, removable “ear” pieces to simulate his shrunken state and a selection of alternate hands. Release date and price are yet to be confirmed, but it’s fair to assume that S.H. Figuarts Alien Zarab will likely be a Tamashii web exclusive item. We’ll bring you more information as it comes, but in the meantime check out the full range of pictures after the jump!

Today marks the beginning of a very unique new entry in the Power Rangers franchise!

Twitch TV has officially announced their new RPG series- Power Rangers HyperForce! This series will be a live-stream table-top role-playing game, the first of its kind! 25 episodes are currently planned to air weekly in celebration of the Power Rangers’ 25th anniversary.

A very interesting story outline has been provided for this new series:


Power Rangers Hyperforce is set in the year 3016 at Time Force Academy. A team of Time Force Ranger cadets must band together to defeat an ancient evil who is set on unraveling the very fabric of the universe. Under the leadership of their mentor, Jen Scott, and with the show’s Game Master, Malika Lim, the newly minted Rangers will cross both time and space to complete their mission while running into many familiar eras (and faces) along the way.

The stakes have never been higher as the players learn what it means to be a Ranger in a live, tabletop RPG environment where anything can happen.

Hyper RPG has developed a Twitch Extension that will allow viewers to select a Ranger that is permanently tied to the user’s unique ID. Viewers will be able to send their Ranger out on daily missions, boss battles, and raids, as well as trade cool loot with other players.
