We say goodbye to another legend today 😔
Rest in peace to Hikaru Kurosaki, our eternal Jaspion 🤍
Japanese actor, singer, and stunt performer Hikaru Kurosaki has passed away at the age of 64. For tokusatsu fans around the world, especially in Brazil and Latin America, he will always be remembered as the hero who brought Jaspion to life.
Kurosaki became a defining face of 1980s tokusatsu through Toei’s Kyoju Tokuso Juspion, known to many fans as The Fantastic Jaspion. His athletic screen presence, martial arts background, and expressive performance helped turn the space hero into one of the most beloved figures in the Metal Hero era.
Before becoming Jaspion, Kurosaki trained through the legendary Japan Action Club, the action troupe founded by Sonny Chiba. He also worked in early stunt and suit roles, including projects like Japan’s 1978 Spider-Man, Battle Fever J, and Denshi Sentai Denjiman, before stepping into the role that would make him a tokusatsu icon.
After leaving the entertainment industry in the 1990s, Kurosaki chose a quieter life in Okinawa, where he became part of the diving community and shared his love for the ocean.
For many fans, Jaspion was more than a TV hero. He was a childhood memory, a symbol of courage, and one of the characters who helped open the door for generations of fans to Japanese tokusatsu and anime culture.
Thank you for everything, Hikaru Kurosaki.
Rest in peace, legend 💔

@MCUFilmNews@JamesMackwl the run time of this movie should be at least 3 hours, or 3 hours+ this is second to the last avengers film, and they are gonna cut so much stuff off. even if they do and it's 3 hours below, I just hope they release deleted scenes at digital release.
@HollywoodHandle I just hope to God he doesn't work out as intense. the dudes almost 60 please, just give him muscle padding. I am BEGGING for his health
@parkerslawyer as I have thought of before, Spider-Man 5 should be centered as a team up movie between another vigilante and or a team. sure add symbiote to it but don't make that the whole point, these people who want the symbiote are actively misunderstanding what it originally is.
Yall hated and bullied Melissa online for YEARS and celebrated when the show got cancelled, I refuse to let this revisionism just to put down Milly happen on my watch
