Kotaro has tracked down a mutant that fled to a forest. There he meets karate master Saburo Takasugi and his student Satoru, and warns them of the dangerous situation. Satoru, insistent that nothing can defeat his Master, tells Kotaro not to worry. Kotaro senses that not everything is as it seems, and reveals the Master’s darkest secrets…
Behold, the Tetsuo Kurata “Unforgivable!!” T-Shirt. The front of the shirt reads Kamen Rider Black’s trademark phrase “Unforgivable!!” and the fist mark below is Kurata’s own Rider Punch. Similarly on the back is a Rider Kick foot print, with “Tetsu” written above it for good measure. There’s a second design that features an illustration of Kurata’s face. And yes, that’s him modeling for his own shirt!
The text running down the center on the image above reads “Can you withstand the power of my kick!?”.
Currently the t-shirt is sold out, and reprints are unlikely. Supposedly he’s selling these shirts at his steak house as well.
Yuko Ooi is a new idol sweeping the nation with her charming songs, but her fans start to abandon work and schooling to forcefully promote her videos. Suspicious, Kotaro investigates but Yuko’s fans aggressively attack him to protect her. Will Kotaro be able to solve the mystery before the nation becomes Yuko’s slaves?
Randomly stumbled upon it on YouTube. I was speechless. Enjoy 
Supposedly it’s from a show called Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de, episode six to be exact.
EP Party, a mysterious new organization formed to bring peace to mankind, has created a subatomic treatment machine. The machine is capable of healing previously incurable diseases but a dark secret is behind this miraculous device. Can Kotaro solve the mystery before it’s too late?
You can download the episode via torrent, Veoh, and Megaupload.
Kotaro is visiting Yubari for a friend’s wedding, but the smiles are swept away from everyone’s faces as Katsumi is kidnapped by Mole Cricket Mutant. Katsumi, now hypnotized by Golgom, stands in Kotaro’s way with a murderous intent. Will Kotaro be able to defeat Golgom’s mutant and return Katsumi back to her old self?
Shadow Moon has awakened. With the advent of the Century King, the High Priests – Darom, Baraom, and Bishium – have been reborn as Great Mutants. A declaration of war has been issued by Golgom, as the Great Mutants stir chaos in the hearts of human society by wreaking havoc on the city.
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 the photo that was attached in the auction details have disappeared, but you can see that the auction started at 120,000 yen (just over $1000), had 8 total bids and ended costing the buyer 141,000 yen ($1230). Looking at the bidding history reveals that the item was barely won, as the last bid was 140,000 yen – a 1,000 yen difference, roughly $9 – ouch!

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 all these years Kurata now has his own official website, which came online on 9/1/07. You can join his fan club (6,500 yen a year, roughly $56) and receive exclusive goodies listed below:
What you get when you join:
Members-only website includes:
The site embraces his Kamen Rider Black roots, which I think is great. The remade red Golgom symbol is pretty awesome, which Kurata himself designed for this website. The design is also available as a shirt (in the Goods section). I’ve read on an unofficial fansite before on how fans should skip Kamen Rider altogether and rent his other works, which I thought was idiotic and ignorant, considering that was his groundbreaking role. You can even see the masked hero proudly represented in the Gallery section!
