As we’ve mentioned on the podcast recently, this was a fantastic show dedicated to tokusatsu, with many guests from Japan directly involved with a number of tokusatsu properties. I co-moderated a panel with Jim Cirronella of Celebrity Icons in which we asked stunt and suit actor Hirofumi Fukuzawa about his career. This episode is the audio from that panel. In addition to being the suit actor for Gamera 3: Revenge of Irys (1999), Hirofumi Fukuzawa is primarily a sentai stunt actor and played rangers and heroes from a landslide of programs in Japan. Seriously, I suggest checking out his resume; it’s pretty impressive! SENTAI SONGS: 1. Opening Theme by Mochida Yuusuke from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (2011) 2. Ending Credits by Kenichiro ?ishi from Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle (2011)
