Hiroshi Fujioka Appreciation Thread!!

Paladin · 01-23-2012, 11:19 PM

A tribute to the first and probably greatest fighter that ever held the mantle of Kamen Rider!

A brief rundown; Fujioka's contributions to the Rider franchise include:

*Portraying the human alter-ego of Kamen Rider 1
*Wearing the cumbersome Rider suit for extended scenes
*Performing nearly all his own fighting stunts
*Willingly returning to the franchise after breaking both legs while filming a motorcycle jump
*And he continues to voice Kamen Rider 1 in crossovers and specials to this day!

Truly an all-around amazing man.

Incidentally, some of you may also be familiar with his work for SEGA in the '90s:
