I recently saw Yasuhisa Furuhara aka Go-on Red's youtube channel and Keisuke Minami who played Tsurugi in Kyuranger was a guest. He said that he's done multiple sentai auditions prior to being a part of Kyuranger and one of them was auditioning for the role of Bouken Blue. According to him, it ended up for Toei to choose from two candidate teams of five for Boukenger, and it seems that Minami was in the team that didn't make it.
But what was wild was that Hiroaki Iwanaga, who notably played R5, Kamen Rider Birth, and the new Shaider was also auditioning and could've been Bouken Red instead of Mitsuomi Takahashi had things turned out differently. Also, Furuhara auditioned for the role of Bouken Silver.

It's always fun to learn about stuff like this.
Other little audition tidbits is that Jo Odagiri (Kuuga) auditioned for GoGoV, and that Yutaka Kobayashi (Baron) actually got the role of Gokai Red, but had to bow out. It seems roles in Boukenger were sought after, though, if future toku alum all tried out for it

I didn't consider it's anniversary status being the reason, but I wouldn't be surprised if that ended up being it. 30th anniversary of such a major franchise would definitely be an enticing reason to try and be part of the main cast.

Minami later auditioned for a role in Kamen Rider W, which he did not specify, but didn't make it apparently and tried again for ToQ6 but probably didn't make the cut as well since Nagahama took that role and then finally got the part for Kyuranger during his 30s. He didn't do Go-onger because he was doing the Prince of Tennis musicals around that time, but I bet he would've made a decent Ren or Gunpei had he done it.

Funnily enough, he did appear in an early episode of Go-On as a love interest for Saki (who turns out to be someone she asked for help with a job) who Sosuke and Gunpei discuss the possibility of recruiting.

And my apologies but it appears his Prince of Tennis gig was from 2006 to 2007 so no way it would've interfered with that. Must've misheard.

How do you all picture the King-Ohger vs DonBrothers crossover later in the near future?

Tsubasa hasn't actually commited any crimes, and Rita is smart enough to do research on these subjects. Not to mention Tsubasa and Natsumi's relationship has already ended. Jiro's arc and alternative personality were resolved, and he no longer harbors any animosity towards Taro. Also, unless Racles makes a change, Don Murasame already established he wanted to fight alongside the DonBros, while Racles is still evil.

Sonoi is still alive by the end of DonBros.

And I don't think Natsumi exactly knows what really happened. Tsubasa needs to confess everything that happened to her, if he's still willing to keep Sononi. And Sonoi is dead. And the new Jiro got thrown off by the team and he winds up in the hospital after his payback beating by Sonoi. |
