Also I don't ever see anyone complain about the fact that all the heroines in KR are pretty. Where my average looking women advocates at, yo.

Also, the audience that this show primarily targets prefers younger superheroes.

And Peter Parker IS a superhero, so I don't see where you're getting this whole "looks like a superhero" thing from. Peter Parker just has more speed, agility and flexibility than raw strength (even though he is strong). That doesn't make him less of a superhero.

You also have to keep in mind that all of these Riders have the same suit actors so the body types have to match up at least somewhat.

Your ideas of them casting an average person is also ludicrous considering what would be an average look to some people is different to others. Having lived in Japan for 6 years during my childhood, I can assure you that the physical builds of the Japanese people that lived outside of the military base I lived on differed from the non-military citizens on the base.

Also looks also aren't everything when casting is being made. The actor must be able to convey the necessary emotions and have some likability to even be considered.

You are right about Kouta, but everyone else, especially the other three main riders to Gaim.






You guys have completely missed my point.

Ok, If this is true then I love the design of Ghost even more. The horn is a horn but isn't a horn. Sounds weird, but here is a quote from the person behind the Ghostly News site, the site I've gotten most of the new shots of Ghost from. The owner of the site was asked if there was a reason behind the horn, and this is the answer.

"There’s speculation that its supposed to be the tail of a hitodama rather than a horn. Basically Ghost’s head is a giant hitodama."

Which kind of makes sense...

Now this is all speculation, but it fits the look and motif.
