Whatever happened to Shunta Fuchino?

[Michael Joe Red Mask]

I believe I got his name right...I was trying to read the kanji off one of the Maskman episodes. I am currently rewatching the series again cuz its just that damn awesome.

By the way for all of the post Zyu fanatics, Shunta is Mr. Badass himself...aka Thief Knight Kiros! He could definitely go toe to toe with Madou Kishi Wolzard.

CRESCENT SCREW!!

Did he appear in any other tokusatsu series or did he suffer the same fate just like the other Maskmen actors (Ryousuke Kaizu and Hayato Tani excluded)?

Anybody could go toe to toe with Wolzard, he's a big purple tin can.

Wolzard would **** you up Bolt.

But that's only because he can hit you with a spell from 15 miles away and grow into a giant centaur.

Well yeah, obviously. I'm not a plaid-wearing 14 year old with a talking houseplant.

He's been active in theater, mostly.

In defense of the other "missing" Maskman actors, with how many celebrities Japan poops out each year, I wouldn't be surprised if they were still around, but in smaller venues where nobody notices them (like plays). For a while nobody knew what happened to Zyuranger's Takumi Hashimoto, but it's been discovered he's still around, doing theater. I think people just get lazy in trying to keep up (and in the case of the women, numerous retire to start families, like Dairanger's Natsuki Takahashi).

Spoiler alert (oh, like anyone's going to bother checking out something good like Maskman): I actually felt bad for Kiros in the end. With how the writer feels the need for extra cruelty and not only has him damn near impaled on one of his own swords, but has a random icicle to crash down and penetrate his chest, too. Crescent screwed, indeed!

Basri: Your avatar is giving me the creeps! :laugh: Jun Yoshida's cool...I thought he disappeared from tokusatsu after Black, but I just read he was in some Ultraman movie from 2002, (I don't know which since I don't like Ultraman). Anyone have an idea what that would be?

Can somebody tell me how Kiros was finally defeated? Before the impaled on one of the swords like you mentioned. ^ Was it Red Mask's work?
