The Kamen Rider No-Shots to Big-Shots (and Vice Versa) Thread

[sa1amandra]

In this thread! We congratz and laugh at the actors who went from a small fry in a Kamen Rider series to a major character in another!
Oh and they have to be in 2 separate KR series playing different roles. So Decade cameo's won't count

Name, gratz and laugh!

Kenji Matsuda - Big-Shot to No-Shot (Though not really, his role of importance dropped a bit)
Zanki the guitarist teacher to Garuru the werewolf

Ryouta Murai - No-Shot to Big-Shot
Playing as a character who we never knew existed in (another) den-o movie, Climax Deka, he now comes back in Decade as a kamen rider who never henshins, but still has an important role

Yuria Haga - Big-Shot to No-Shot, then Big-Shot again...
Coming in as the lead female role in Kamen Rider Faiz. She returns to the Kamen Rider franchise in Hibiki as a role we don't even remember. BUT she turns that stone one more time and becomes a big shot once again in Kiva

Kenzaburō Kikuchi - Big-Shot to No-Shot
As a big baddy jackass in Ryuki, he returns in Kabuto, stilll as a baddy jackass, just this time around, a REALLY small fry baddy jackass

FILL THE LIST

Yuichi Nakamura: no-shot to big-shot.

from total unredeemable jerk Kiriya to hero for love Yuto

Jun Yamasaki: Big-Shot to No-Shot

He was great as Agito's Houjou, an interesting, gray character. Houjou could be devious, and we'd hate him for interfering with our heroes, but deep down, he was still a good cop. Yamasaki later became Faiz's useless, cartoonishly-cowardly Takuma/Centipede Orphenoch, the most useless villain in tokusatsu history, and the only one who the heroes could track down by following his trail of urine.

Rina Akiyama: big-shot to no-shot

from female lead Mana in Agito to insanely cute but utterly inimportant Naomi in Den-O

Rina Akiyama: big-shot to no-shot

Good call, her fall has been disappointing. Not even just in terms of her tokusatsu roles, but going from a promising, likable actress to just the Japanese equivalent of Kim Kardashian. :nono:

well at least she fits the insanely cute part...

well at least she fits the insanely cute part...

there's no denying that Naomi was more of a background character, though she was helpful on rare occasions
