I mean sure it's a kid's show, but I bet he loves it.

Well... hence why he's signed up for Togger.

Say what you will. But I most certainly meant down to toku level. Ratings for tokusatsu are a mere fraction of what dramas get, and they steadily decline every year. You don't get nearly the same level of exposure as a toku actor as you would for dramas. This man has a staggering career doing TV drama, so yes he is coming down to the toku level by doing this.

I'm not saying he doesn't want to do it, of course he does or he wouldn't be there. But that's a step down from the usual stuff he does.
