It's also rare anymore that they hire any actors with actual martial arts experience; it's mostly idols and aspiring drama actors anymore, few of whom are really prepared for/capable of doing a lot of the stuff the action scenes call for. It's rare anymore that you get a Keiichi Wada or Kane Kosugi. As far as I know (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the last face actor we got with any sort of martial arts knowledge was Junya Ikeda in Gokaiger.
