Originally yes, it was Ryotaro and the Taros. But after Takeru Sato who played Ryotaro went onto do bigger things and hiring him got pricy it shifted to The Taros pretty much.
Random tangent, I wonder what a crossover of Otoya and Yuri with the Toei tokusatsu heroes of 1986 would be like. Exhibit A we got Flashman, a group of spandex-clad former human abductees-turned-heroes from outer space and exhibit B we got Spielvan and Diana, an extradimensional armored warrior couple. I was hoping there would be a scene where they would play one of these shows off on the background randomly as a nod to the year but sadly they missed that mark. Heck, Inoue worked on select episodes of Flashman so double shame.
