Musical Prince of Tennis is truly a remarkable starting point for Tokusatsu actors. Every year, we are waiting for new toku shows and cast and most of the time, TeniMyu actors get starring roles as heroes or villains.

Previously, we had listed the Prince of Tennis Musicals actors who had taken part in Tokusatsu. The last show that was included in the list was Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters where Baba Ryoma and Jinnai Sho has taken part as Iwasaki Ryuuji/Blue Buster and Enter. And as the middle of 2013 started, three more TeniMyu actors were added to the list then another two for an upcoming show. They are as follows...

From Kamen Rider Gaim, here are:


Kobayashi Yutaka as Hajime Mizuki
Kumon Kaito/Kamen Rider Baron


Kubota Yuki as Atobe Keigo

and Aoki Tsunenori as Atobe Keigo

We also have our two new entries from the upcoming Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger!


Shison Jun as Mukahi Gakuto
Raito/Tokkyu 1


and Hiramaki Jin as Oishi Syuichiroh
Tokatsuchi/Tokkyu

So far, all actors who took the role of Atobe Keigo has landed on Tokusatsu. Starting from Kato Kazuki as Kazama Daisuke/Drake (Kabuto)& Shiro Kazari/V3 (The Next) and Inoue Masahiro as Kadoya Tsukasa/Kamen Rider Decade (DCD) to Kubota and Aoki on their respective roles in Kamen Rider Gaim.

And then again, with this, we could conclude that because of the help of tokusatsu, not only TeniMyu but also other musical plays, adapted or not, started to shout their names around the world.

Thanks to most popular form of entertainment in Japan, the theater, that there are more aspiring and amazing actors sprouted in the industry!
