Kitazaki is played by an actor named Ray Fujita. A couple years after this, he would be cast as one of the main characters on one of my favorite tokusatsu shows of all time: Garo. He plays the character Rei, aka Makai Knight Zero in that series and has gone on to reprise the role multiple times over the years, most recently in Zero: Dragon Blood, his second standalone miniseries. It's a completely different performance, but he's equally great in that part and I've long been a big fan of his work.

Uh, holy shit that video!!! That was sick as HELL. Garo's going on my post-2021 list! Thanks for sharing that clip!

(Also, so, when Bloodborne came out did every Garo fan just start drooling at once or what.)

Yeah, like, I've seen movies from the Phase 2 Heisei shows that have definitely ruined things from Faiz for me... but I don't even know what those things are, because when I saw those movies I didn't have a context for Faiz stuff. There are probably things from this movie that are going to go right over my head. We'll see!
