Why does Toei often hired a well-known Japanese star to play somewhat important character?

Kamen Rider Ghost have Yellow Lion playing Ryu Tenkuji and he rarely make appearance at all. I guess the reason of why Yellow Lion got cast because so Zyuohger get a Kamen Rider Actor to play Birdman!

Kamen Rider Drive have Chris Peppler playing Krim Steinbelt AKA Mr. Belt. Apparently he was too famous to make appearance on the show as himself! I mean Krim Steinbelt rarely appear the show as a human beside his belt

I wonder if next Kamen Rider show get a very famous actor from Japan to play those kind of role!
