Interesting idea. I hope people in the know flesh this out. I know Kabuto is on Girls this year in America, speaking English. Den-O was in Bakuman, and a bunc hof other things as well.

He must really need the money if that's true.

Kabuto is on Girls??? I'm watching Girls now. I always felt he wouldn't do too bad in the states.

I haven't seen the show (parents watch it), but the cast went to Japan for an episode and he was there. It's not that Kabuto's actor went to America, it's that the cast came to Japan and he happened to be the best for what they were looking for. According to an interview thing.

ah, my favourite kind of thread topic! *cracks fingers* most of the Sentai/KR actors are still active after their shows, but most of them go underground by performing in stage plays and musicals. on the other hand, some actors (usually the Sentai Red and main KR) would eventually pursue drama and movie roles. Mizushima Hiro (Kabuto), Yamamoto Yusuke (Sasword), Sato Takeru (Den-O), Suda Masaki (Philip), Matsuzaka Tori (ShinkenRed) and Chiba Yudai (GoseiRed) are some of the most notable actors who have done so. in terms of actresses, Kitagawa Keiko (Sailor Mars), Mori Kanna (Natsumi from Decade), Takanashi Rin (ShinkenPink) and someone else I might be forgetting have already broke away from the Toku scene.

however as the years progress, more and more younger blood such as the likes of Sakurada Dori (NEW Den-O), Fukushi Sota (Fourze), Yoshizawa Ryo (Meteor), Ryusei Ryo (KyoryuRed), Iitoyo Marie (KyoryuViolet #2), Shison Jun (ToQ-1), Kojima Riria (ToQ-3), Yokoyama Ryusei (ToQ-4) etc etc etc. are slowly and gradually breaking away from their respective Toku images. really, the list has been growing longer that it's pretty hard to keep up sometimes!

Yeah, what a dummy, doing a show for the greatest TV network of all time, that's incredibly popular and well liked.

Popularity has nothing to do with quality, as all of us should well know given the discussions on just this board, let alone media as a whole. Girls is dreck, and its star/creator isn't exactly right in the head as her shenanigans and her own book demonstrate.

That said, I'm sure someone in a foreign country (certain ones at least) will just think it's cool to be in an out-of-country show. Personally I'd like to see Mizushima play Kabuto in a Supergirl episode: it might make that show a bit better >.>

I would think the opposite, no? Going from your country to hollywood is not easy. What makes you successful over there might not translate here.

I've been following some of the actors.

Sato Takeru(Den-O) has done a lot of lead roles and side roles in dramas and movies since Den-O. The live action Rurouni Kenshin is probably the most well-known lead role.

Fukushi Souta(Fourze) has done many dramas and commercials. I last saw him in the movie 'Kamisama no iutoori' in the lead role.

Suda Masaki(W) is also quite busy, with dramas and movies. So is Matsuzaka Tori(ShinkenRed)

Takeuchi Ryoma(Drive) has been making waves recently.
He was part of the cast for last year's popular drama Shitamachi Rocket, and has appeared in some variety shows.

Also, I saw Takanashi Rin(SHinkenPink) in several variety shows, and recently saw Shimizu Fumika(Yuuki in Fourze) in a variety show, promoting their new respective drama series.
