So I'm guessing Ninja and Hurricane Red will just be in-suit appearances, or are the actors who played them making a cameo?

I knew from the get-go that he wasn't going to be a Westerner. It just wasn't going to happen. However, I am surprised that he isn't a cousin of the family who grew up in America and is just now arriving to help out. Everyone else is, so why not him? But maybe that'll be a plotline later on as a 'surprise twist' or something.

Full-page images are now online!

Starninger's catch phrase is 'colorful star'.
Expecting a star or two to be added to the background ukiyoe when they do their rolecall.

If Toei's smart, they'll have at least one scene where Starninger walks into battle playing his guitar sword in a very Akira-type way.

Cowboy to Ninja, Awesome

I can't wait for StarNinger. Also I saw a scan that shows both NinjaRed and HurricaneRed's actors back with the NinNinGers.

He sees Yeehaw. He says Yeehaw. He says Yeehaw. HE SAYS YEEHAW.

I LOVE THIS.

I've been so focused on the gold and the cowboy aspect that I just realized the undersuit of his costume is red,white,and blue.

Dangit man, everything about him is the coolest and most hilarious thing ever. I love him.
