I can't believe it. This wasn't just The second live-action actor to play Spider-Man, But he's the one that pushed the physical limits to a character With as much physical believability as he could.
He's a living legend, Rest in peace.
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 💔
@martyna_lioness Honestly, a little bit. I would like for them to discuss having a future as a family, And at the very end they have a kid.
Cuz like then you're adding more characters and you already are focusing on wolf as the main character when there's 9 others that barely get anything.
@TheCartoonBase They should make a Low Stakes Anime Chibi series about the Digital Circus that feels like a manga series written and illustrated by Gangle, Zooble, and Caine.
@DiscussingFilm Yeah, it doesn't seem anything that crazy, I thought it was an adaptation of the Creepypasta story "God's Mouth" but this is just more lame.
(Plus, it seems like I saw the whole movie in this one trailer)
