Um this is a weird question but I have to know. I heard twice that Blade's actor was in a gay porno, is this true?

I dunno if it was twice but yeah, he was. Which is funny as they keep bringing the actor back for video games and cameos if he's available

To fair, Sentai's had several female actor who were in porn first before joining a show as a villain. I think the main reason this isn't more common with males is because of how rare male porn actors are compared to a female ones.

I think it's a cultural thing. I highly doubt someone in the porn industry can be a Power Ranger or something in the US, it's just seen as work in Japan. See Ryuko Matoi and Yang Xiao Ling's Japanese VA. She was a porn star too apparently. And Akiko's actress had sent nudes on the internet a few years before she got in W iirc

It is common for people in Japan to be in porn/hentai to be in other main stream media. Voice actors that have been in Toku superhero shows like Tomohiro Nishimura, Tomokazu Sugita, etc, have done voice work for Hentai.

Update I came up with better ideas, Set the kamen rider movie in the 50s so Hongo would've grown up under imperialist Japan in the 30s and 40s. The second film would be kamen rider vs Skull man which would end in Takashi being put out of commission and a naive ichimonji taking his place. He gets a film then V3 in the 70s then finally black at the turn of the century. Thru out this there would be various other toku things going on.

I have an idea for a show series:
Kamen rider faiz, but written by someone who isn't a talentless hack
Kamen rider kiva, but written by someone who doesn't lack 95% of his brain
Kamen rider ghost, but with an actual plot and actors
Kamen rider wizard, but without shunpei and that woman who is supposed to be plot important

I think tohei would make more money than dregging up showa series if they just blacklisted inoue.

I personally would rather just put inoue in the same room as kamen rider ouja and lock the door, come back in a week and have a janitor clean the mess up.

As much as we hate some of his choices in storytelling, it seems that the reason Inoue was used a lot back when he was all over Kamen Rider was because he already had and probably still has a good rep for being professional and getting the job done. One of his main specialty is that he has a mercenary mindset with his craft, meaning the result may not be satisfactory but he will help wrap things up. So even if his stuff is considered not good by us industry still loves him because he pulled through for them.

Great example of this? Hibiki. Takatera of Kuuga and Hibiki fame got booted during Hibiki for being the auteur he is and Inoue helped wrap things up. Show sucked after he got involved such as character inconsistencies, but try to look at it from Toei's side for a moment. I am a fan of Takatera's run of Hibiki, but I can imagine how hard it would have been for Toei as Takatera's methods required heavy budget spending. And no matter how beautiful it looked Hibiki's toy sales did not make back a lot too if I recall so he had to get booted. So Takatera is out. What does Toei do? Hire someone who can get the job done. It all boils down to that sadly.

But again, look on the bright side, at least it was not Yonemura. :lolol

I'd have happily taken Yonemura instead. It wouldn't have been much better, but Hibiki was before Kabuto, Decade, and all the Superhero Taisen movies. It would feel much more fresh than more Inoue. Yonemura on Hibiki wouldn't have just felt like Diet Faiz and I can guarantee you Kiriya would have never happened.

Yonemura I would not categorize as a bad writer cause apparently he does good work on some of the anime he has worked on such as PreCure I heard and kudos to him for finding a gig where he is more appreciated. He's just not great with Kamen Rider that's all. Personally I wish Kobayashi would have taken over but I can only imagine how desperate Toei must have been with Hibiki if they were to bring on Inoue.
