Yutaka Kobayashi About Kamen Rider Baron, Bananas & Gokaiger

Hyper Hobby recently interviewed Yutaka Kobayashi, the actor who plays Kaito Kumon aka Kamen Rider Baron in Kamen Rider Gaim and we learn more how he almost landed a role in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and his dislike of bananas. Wait, what?!

He revealed that his dislike for bananas started after he participated a marathon and he only ate bananas that day. At the end of the day, he just felt so sick and blamed it on bananas and every since then, he stopped eating it. After accepting the role, he realized that it's the day he should overcome his dislike for bananas.

In addition to this fun fact, he revealed that he love Kamen Rider that's why he wanted to become one. Aside from that, he wants to seize this chance to open up a path in his acting career considering that some of the hottest actors right are once Kamen Riders that he even took a driver's license for bikes because of this.

More on Kamen Rider, he used to watch Kamen Rider Ryuki as a kid and was happy that Kamen Rider Gaim features multiple Riders like Ryuki. He also talked about his role in Kamen Rider Gaim, that he is the complete opposite of his character and he's been working with Baron's suit actor, Eitoku about the character.

We also learned that he almost became Captain Marvelous aka GokaiRed in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger! He turned down the said role because of another job that he had during that time.

Power Rangers Super Megaforce to Feature "Sword & Gun" Action

Pic likely related.

Suit actor Namihei Koshige of AAC Stunts New Zealand revealed some minor details about Power Rangers Super Megaforce. To give you a gist on what he said, it has something to do with guns and swords.

In his post, he said that next week, the stunt team will be receiving the scripts to better enhance the fight scenes and characterizations. There will be more rehearsals than normal to perfect this, then the cast will join to learn this new fighting style.


Now comes the fun part of it, he states that, "It will go from ray-guns and colored weapons to a mix of sword and gun fighting." Based on this line alone, it has something to do with a Gokaiger adaptation because the Gokaigers use swords and guns in combat. Lastly, in the first episode of Power Rangers Megaforce, Jake's console is green not black or purple.
