Those two endings though. If I hadn't been told that I only watched a revised version, I wouldn't have noticed. I think it's really an interesting fact that they actually changed those two episodes because people complained. And I really wonder what they had actually planned when they made that original teaser for the movie ending though. That one looked crazy. |

We all know Den-O's forms are based off Japanese folklore, but some do not know why Zeronos is based off a bull and has a avian imagin(Deneb) as a partner.
Well, since this can be spoilery I will have this covered: Zeronos is based off the Asian folklore behind Altair, Vega, and Deneb, a folklore known in Japan as Hikoboshi and Orihime. The story of Hikoboshi and Orihime is a somewhat tragedy about two lovers. Hikoboshi was an excellent cow herder and Orihime was an excellent weaver. The Jade Emperor thought these two would make a fine couple and arranged their marriage. But after their marriage, they were so much in love with each other that they became lazy with their field of work. The Jade Emperor was furious and separated them to polar opposite ends of the milky way. This saddened the two that their tears became rain and was enough to form a flood. To prevent anymore damage, the magpies and crows teamed up to form a makeshift bridge by herding together allowing Hikoboshi and Orihime to reunite temporarily once again and then go back to their respective places until their next reunion. So as we can see, the concept of lovers that can not be together was the background for Yuto and Airi's relationship. Deneb is based off the magpies and crows(another motif that is not related to this folklore that Deneb has is that of Musashibo Benkei, a monk). Altair form's bull motif is a nod to Hikoboshi's cattle. BTW, Hikoboshi is Altair, the magpies and crows are represented by Deneb, and Vega is Orihime. |

Both Maehara Kazuki(Ryoma/Gingared) and Kyo Nobuo(Kasumi Isshu/Kuwagaraiger) played the role of assistant to Namase Katsuhisa's character Yabe Kenzo in the Nakama Yukie + Abe Hiroshi J-drama TRICK.
Maehara Kazuki was the first assistant with Bleached hair, and Kyo Nobuo played his replacement in a later season. |

Two alumni from super sentai have their own toku-themed bar.
https://public.dm2301.livefilestore....rdrts=97373075 http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/...20120709223740 Hamurai Ei who played Tenjuusei Shouji/Tenmaranger in Dairanger owns a bar called Souten no Tenma. http://www.supersentai.com/database/...ai-al-goro.jpg http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/...20120709223941 Shishido Masaru who played Hoshino Goro/Ohred in Ohranger owns a bar called Crystal Sky. Both are frequented by toku alumni. |
Japanese voice actor Hoshi Souichiro, who we know as Birca from Go-onger(and Kira Yamato from Gundam SEED, Kazuma from Scryed, Son Goku from Saiyuki), was the Japanese dub voice of Andros the Red Space Ranger in Power Rangers In Space.

Prior to being finalized, Dynaman was originally a baseball motif and the working title at one point was V-Leaguer.
Maskman was originally going to be called Fiveman but was later changed to the Maskman we know. Yet, hints of the Fiveman aspect are still around such as the chest logo and their robot Great Five. Two years later Chikyu Sentai Fiveman came out. Kakuranger is loosely based off the same source material as Dragonball, Journey To The West. Guess that sorta explains the traveling nomads aspect as well as why Ninja Red has a bunshin/clone technique like Sun Wu Kong and has a monkey bot. The five have certain traits carried from the five heroes. Sasuke - Sun Wukong Tsuruhime - Tang Sanzang Seikai - Zhu Bajie. Saizou - Sha Wujing Jiraiya - White Dragon Horse |
In the early part of Kamen Rider X, Keisuke had an increasingly complicated relationship with his evil ex-fiance Ryoko and her good twin sister Kiriko. They were both killed off by episode 10, but in real life Ryo Hayami (X Rider) and Naoko Miyama (the twins) got married after the show ended.
Their son is also an actor and unsuccessfully auditioned for the leading role in Kamen Rider Agito. |
Thought I would bring this back.
If you have a toku trivia to share post it here So here are some trivia to revive this thread Six out of the seven masters in Gekiranger, excluding Master Shafu, are named after famous Kung Fu film actors: Elehan Kimpo: Sammo Hung Bat Li: Jet Li Sharkie Chan: Jackie Chan Gori Yen: Donnie Yen Michelle Peng: Michelle Yeoh Pyon Pyo: Yuen Biao They are also voiced by the same voice actors who primarily voice the Kung fu film actors in their Japanese dubs The godoku-ken are based off the five masked martial artists in the Shaw Brothers film Five Deadly Venoms The five Megarangers' surnames form the word DENJI Date(Mega Red) Endo(Mega Black) Namiki(Mega Blue) Jogasaki(Mega Yellow) Imamura(Mega Pink) |
-Before he got the role of Houji/Deka Blue, Tsuyoshi Hayashi auditioned for Mikoto/Abare Killer but did not get the role
-Two actors who had guest roles in the final episode of Kamen Rider W went on to protect earth as part of anniversary sentai teams, Yui Koike went on to play Ahim de Famille/Gokai Pink in Gokaiger in 2011 while Shohei Nanba got the part of Leo/Zyuoh Lion in Zyuohger in 2016, Nanba was one of the dopant punks and Koike was the abducted sister of Shotaro's kid client |
The original Yellow Ranger, Hatakeyama Baku, Kirenger from Gorenger, committed suicide due to a number of reasons, including being typecast as Kirenger. He currently remains the only deceased actor to play a Sentai warrior.

1. Kyuranger trivia that I discovered:
- Spada means sword, which is befitting for someone whose motif is a marlin/swordfish - Sho Lonpo's name derives from the dumpling xiaolongbao which is called sholonpo in Japanese - The 283 in Raptor 283 can also be read using goroawase as "Tsubasa" which means wing in Japanese 2. The third letter in the name of all five Timerangers spell out TAIMU(time) Tatsuya Ayase Shion Domon Yuuri 3. In Magiranger if you take the first syllables from the first name of the four older Ozu siblings and merge it with Kai, it forms the word Mahoutsukai, which means magician Makito Houka Urara Tsubasa Kai |
So some Sotaro trivia today.
For those who do not know who he is he was the fifth Gekiranger Ken Hisatsu/Geki Chopper and was probably the first sentai hero to sport facial hair from the get-go. He later appeared as Jabel in Kamen Rider Ghost. So on with the trivia: - Both his characters Ken and Javelle ate menchi-katsu in their respective shows, in Gekiranger it is Ken's signature food and he has been seen eating it during the show while Javelle had one during episode 38, most likely a nod to Gekiranger. - Sotaro's actual older brother is former actor Naohisa Adachi, the actor who was B-Fighter Kuwagar/Kengo Tachibana in the B-Fighter sequel B-Fighter Kabuto(1996). - He had a role in a Steven Seagal movie |

Several years before he was cast as kaito kumon in kamen rider gaim, Yutaka Kobayashi had auditioned and was cast for the role of captain marvelous but had turned it down for the sakenof another project.
Also he was born on the day episode 20 of kamen rider black rx had originally aired. |
One of Kamen Rider Decade's original plot ideas had Decade as a student attending a special school staffed by previous riders, with Ichigou acting as the principal/director of the school. There, Decade would have been taught how to become a top-notch rider by his mentors.
While this plot was never used, it was saved and retooled into what we now know as Kamen Rider Fourze. Hironari Amano's (Kamen Rider Garren) role in Fourze as the school principal can be considered a reference to the original, Decade-specific synopsis. Bouncing off of that, a lot of rider ideas tend to be in their planning stages long before they actually come to be. Another example would be a rider concept thought up during the production of Kamen Rider Kabuto of a duo becoming one hero, originally conceptualized as a pair of siblings. This idea would be fleshed out and brought to light a few years later as Kamen Rider W. |
