Kamen Rider Den-O star Sato Takeru supposedly complained of chest pains and was diagnosed with pneumothorax, or collapsed lung. He’s getting better now and was told to rest for ten days.
Pretty scary, especially considering his age. If you feel any discomfort, don’t hesitate to visit your doctor!
Get well soon, Sato-kun!

Just doing my daily check on The MagicBox (this is where I primarily get my Japanese video game news) and I found the above image. Mask, scarf, large belt…Whoa, it’s Kamen Rider! So, I spent a couple minutes making Mog Rider, coming to a TV near no one! Kind of reminds me of a cooler […]

Girls in Uniform is a pretty new figure series that’s sold in most convenience stores in Japan. The concept is to take the most beloved tokusatsu girls and make them into anime-style collectible figures. This is the first Kamen Rider themed release, with several out already on the Super Sentai front.

For the debut Bandai chose […]

Kamen Zaiber is an old, Japanese parody of the Kamen Rider series. The camera work, suits, and special effects are all great! A definite must-see for fans.

Here’s something I found on random at YouTube. This basically no budget series is a parody of the Kamen Rider series, with so far two episodes released. The special effects are actually pretty good, with effective camera cuts and fake gunfire. There are a couple homages to Kamen Rider Black in the first episode as […]

One of my favorite toy blogs, Charab Life by Sappii, has some high-quality photographs of the newly released H.G.C.O.R.E. set. This is actually the first time I’ve ever seen Chainsaw Lizard, which I think looks nice. It’s neat to see a vixen-type female villain in the new movies as the original Kamen Rider was pretty […]

I was looking for jackets that resembled Minami Kotaro’s in Kamen Rider Black when I stumbled upon an expired item on Yahoo! Auctions Japan. For sale was a genuine, screen-worn jacket that you see above, worn by Tetsuo Kurata himself on Kamen Rider Black RX!
The auction took place on 7/29/07 and ended on 8/5/07. Disappointingly […]

Kurata Tetsuo, the star of Kamen Rider Black who played Minami Kotaro, has recently celebrated his 20th anniversary in breaking into the entertainment industry. After completing Black and RX (which is still the only Kamen Rider sequel in history), he continued to work in television and film, concentrating on drama and period dramas (or jidaigeki).
After […]
