We have sadly been informed of the death of legendary Toei producer Tohru Hirayama. He was 84 years old.
Hirayama was a major influence in the production of early tokusatsu shows, maintaining a direct involvement in Kamen Rider and Goranger, culminating in the creation of Kamen Rider Stronger in 1975. He will be deeply missed. |

Former Toei producer Tohru Hirayama passed away on Wednesday due to heart failure. He was 84 years old.
A private funeral service for close relatives will be held in the next few days. The chief mourner will be Mitsuru, his eldest son. Hirayama entered Toei in 1954. in 1971, he took the seat of producer on the popular live-action hero program Kamen Rider, and was also the original creator for the television show Kamen Rider Stronger. He produced many of the Kamen Rider TV shows and films during the '70s and '80s. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...ma-passes-away P.S. Igadevil does a good job explaining what he meet to Tokusatsu.. http://igadevil.tumblr.com/post/5705...-toru-hirayama |

"He fought more than enough, He'll never be called a Kamen Rider. Tohru Hirayama is now a normal man"
