Kamen Rider Den-O Designer, Yasushi Nirasawa, Has Passed Away

Posted on February 4, 2016 at 11:16 pm by Den-O under Garo, Godzilla, Kamen Rider

And now we turn to a truly sad bit of news today. We unfortunately have to report that famed design artist, Yasushi Nirasawa, has passed away at 52. And while that name may not immediately evoke a response, if you’re a fan of the Kamen Rider franchise then you undoubtedly have seen Mr. Nirasawa’s work whether you realized it or not.

Though Mr. Nirasawa has worked with the franchise since Blade he’s most often remembered for his work on Kamen Rider Den-O as the designer behind the Imagin. Today marks the passing of an immense figure in the tokusatsu world. While Den-O is of course my personal favorite of his works, Mr. Nirasawa had his hands in a number of series familiar to fans.

Kamen Rider Blade
Kamen Rider Kabuto
Kamen Rider Den-O
Kamen Rider Decade
Kamen Rider G
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
Golden Knight Garo
Godzilla Final Wars

I’d like to take this moment to personally say that without this great mans’ vision and talent I don’t know how I would have ever gotten hooked on Kamen Rider. His designs gave birth to the powerful characters & personalities that first got me into the franchise. Whether breathing life into the terrifying and menacing Worms & Undead of Kamen Riders Kabuto & Blade respectively, or the heartwarming & fun antics of Den-O’s Imagin, Mr Nirasawa brought a special something to every thing he touched.

As one of his greatest (or most annoying depending on your tastes) creations once said, “From start to finish, I’m great!”

Goodbye, Mr. Nirasawa.

Another Toku Loss, Ichiro Nagai Has Passed

Posted on January 27, 2014 at 12:55 pm by Den-O under Kamen Rider, Super Sentai

Another unfortunate passing for the tokusatsu community today. Ichiro Nagai, at age 82, has passed away. Currently his cause of death is unknown as police investigate. Possibly best known to tokusatsu fans for his role as GekiJyuKen Master ShaFu in Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger, Mr. Nagai had many notable anime voice acting credits through out his career. His toku roles included:

  • Basebal Mask (Himitsu Sentai Goranger)
  • Devil Batter (J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai)
  • Master ShaFu (Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger)
  • Narrator (Kamen Rider G)

Ichiro Nagai will be truly missed by many. On behalf of all TokuNation staff and members we’d like to give our condolences to Mr. Nagai’s family.
