Junya Ikeda, best known as Gai Ikari/GokaiSilver in Gokaiger and Takeru Jakuzure/Zen in Garo: The One Who Shines in the Darkness, has been arrested for participating in "special fraud". His talent agency, BāRU, has terminated his contract. Last edited by DaikaijuSokogeki01; 10-30-2023 at 06:10 AM.. |

Very few details and no direct contact or communication with Ikeda.
I know he has a kid, but I think he's had some personal issues in recent years. "Special Fraud" is also inherently vague. Still depressing. |

If I had a nickel for every supporting Makai Knight from TOWSITD that had been arrested I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

With a new GARO series following Ryuga incoming, I think we go toward "no cameo at all" very fast.

More info from Yomiuri Shimbun:
https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/national/20231030-OYT1T50138/ "According to a senior police officer at Joto Police Station, Ikeda is suspected of colluding with an associate to defraud a man in Koto Ward, Tokyo, out of his cash card this year. He allegedly visited the man's home posing as a police officer. His involvement came to light through security camera footage." |

I saw a comment saying he had a kid too. Last edited by Rabbitman; 10-30-2023 at 04:43 PM.. Reason: Deleted the part where I baselessly speculated he was in with organized crime. |

I know Ikeda was having personal problems, but this is still sad to see.
Also kind of ironic that Gai would turn to crime when he was the odd one out among the more pirate-y Gokaigers. |

Outside of his spouse and child...
https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2018/07...-and-children/ ...Ikeda also has a history with depression. https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2022/10...ut-depression/ https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2023/09...ers-from-fans/ It's not an excuse, but it might help explain this a little further. |
