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 💔
With "Batman: Caped Crusader" season 2 coming July 31st, now is the PERFECT time to revisit our "Will It Canon?" episode on the first season: is it a prequel to "Batman: The Animated Series"? A tie-in to Fleischer Superman? Or something else entirely? (Link below!)
"Superman #38 is a potent mix of magic, romance, and metafictional chaos. It also lays the groundwork for Prime's greatest test yet, as he faces a truly terrifying foe in Manchester Black."

I think this was Sean at his absolute best and the story was great with good action scenes especially with Red Grant, and the villain was mysterious yet cool.
Definitely the most underrated Bond Film…

@KwingReviews Respectfully I do disagree.
I’m not trying to change your mind but just challenge your opinion.
If it’s not to the standard set by yourself,
Then ok but This feels like a early S1-3 BATAS voice
Which is greatly missed, I hear you but again no one needs to do Conroy or Baker
