I guess the difference for me is that, in the case of the CW stuff, it's older actors who've become less active in the intervening years (and for some of them they haven't been in a superhero project in literally decades) and the roles they're cast in are referential: the 90s Flash is the 10s Flash's dad, Supergirl's mom and dad are 90s Superman and 80s Supergirl, etc. (Even Luke Perry on Riverdale was just 90s Teen Heartthrob playing 10s Teen Heartthrob's dad.) With some of this toku stuff, they were starring in other series less than five years ago, and the new roles they get could've been played by anyone.

Still, you're not wrong, it's cool to see deep-cut actors show up in new types of roles. I'm all about folks coming back as often as they want!

And the one person who probably fits the bill of "most toku appearances post-lead toku hero role" would be Hiroshi Miyauchi, at least that is who I can remember off the top of my head. This man is LEGEND. He played 4 lead toku hero roles during his prime starting off as Shiro/V3 in Kamen Rider V3, followed by Akira/Aorenger in Gorenger, Shokichi/Big 1 in JAKQ Dengekitai, and Ken/Zubat in Kaiketsu Zubat. After that he went on to play either regular supporting roles or guest roles in The War In Space, Toei Spider-Man, Space Sheriff Gavan, Winspector, Solbrain, Exceedraft, and finally Ohranger. And also he was Mr. Tachibana in the Kamen Rider The First movie.
