[Sentaifan'07 Xman]

Matsuzaka Tori and Chiba Yudai.

Can you be more specific on they are recently doing?

Sonny Chiba.

 

[Shougo B'Stard]

Sonny Chiba.

Should also throw in Hiroyuki Sanada. From little ol' Message From Space to the Royal Shakespeare Company and Lost!

Can you be more specific on they are recently doing?

Matsuzaka has been in a number of J-dramas: DEATH GAME PARK, Team Batista 2nd season, GOLD, Clone Baby and most recently, Asuko March!. done a stage show which title escapes me. he's about to appear in a movie alongside Mukai Osamu and others.

Chiba has been doing stage shows for Tumbling! and he's to appear in the J-drama version of Ouran High School Host Club. released his first trading cards line this year as well and he's part of the voice dub cast members for the movie "Hop".

Yes, they're the same person.........since some ppl have clearly forgotten that Keiko started out in the Toku world FIRST

I think Sato Tomihito/Yuuki (Kamen Rider Gatack) has been doing quite decent/well after Kabuto. He's gonna be in the New Hana Kimi show.

I see Matsuzaka and the number of Dramas he has appeared in after Shinkenger and i think its nothing short of phenomenal considering the fact that prior to Shinken, he was just a model with no acting experience whatsoever ... Now that he is in demand, i don't blame the guy if he couldn't make it for Gokaiger


And ... the stage show that you are referring to its called Legend of the Galactic Heroes

I know I saw Wataru in Goemon...:anime:

Wasn't Tsukasa in Death Game Park?

Wasn't Tsukasa in Death Game Park?[/COLOR]

Yes

Masaya Matsukaze (MegaBlue/Kaoru's father) is now a successful voice actor

Masahiro Usui and Rina Aizawa have done well as idols since Go-onger

Shogo Suzuki/ShinkenGreen is in Cocoa Otoko (J-Rock band) with Kei Hosogai aka Basco, they are getting quite popular

 

[Solari]

Seto Kouji(Kiva) has a number of dramas under his belt as well. He filmed the Koizora drama at the same time as Kiva in 2008 too.
Kikuchi Mika(DekaPink) does voice acting work too.

Does the Prince of Tennis musical count?
I know that quite a number of toku actors were in the Prince of Tennis musicals before/after the toku they're in. Looking through the cast lists of Tenimyu over the years, I spot around 15 who have also been in toku.
