>>KENJI OHBA
>>TALKS ABOUT "BE A HERO"
My first tokusatsu TV is Android Kikaider,
after that Kikaider 01.
Also I did Kamen Rider #1 and #2.
High jump with trampoline,
fall over a precipice...
Mainly I did a stunt action.
After that Himitsu Sentai Gorenger.
At that time, we were the team "Japan Action Club"
We took the work, stunts for Gorenger.
I thought it's good, like a other people's concerns.
Then they said, "Kenji"
"Why don't you do a stunt in Aka-ranger suit?"
It must be joking, truly I thought.
I 'm short.
But they said "It's true, it's serious."
At last, I did a stunt in Akaranger.
Naoya Makoto as Aka-renger.
Hiroshi Miyauchi as Ao-ranger.
They gave me some advice,
advice related to action and acting.
These words still remaining in my heart.
And words of my master, Sonny Chiba.
Words and thoughts of many film directors.
Everyday those words encouraged me to make an effort.
Make an effort...
My efforts was paid off or not? I think it was paid off.
Battle Fever J, Denjiman...
30 years since Space Sheriff Gavan.
I'm already middle‐aged man.
But
No matter the age, something that DO NOT change.
Something changed in Retsu Ichijoji's last 30 years.
And the parts completely changed.
I worried about such things.
Joyfully.
And,
Thank you very much for people who planned this film.
It will be one of the greatest memories
and treasures of my lifetime.
Thank you very much.
If I was seventy or eighty years old. I'm gonna henshin to be a hero.
I made up my mind.
