Post by riderkicker »

Sad news today, Shigeru Araki has passed away. He was best known for playing Kamen Rider Stronger in the 1975 series.

My condolences to his family.
And at that Albie cried a single tear which turned into a jelly bean all the colors of the rainbow! And
suddenly...Albie wasn't racist anymore!!!

I can agree with the loss of Stronger's actor. Makes me wish it was possible to get a taste of Stronger to see if it rubs off on me like Amazon did for the old stuff.

I just heard about this too. :(

Feel free to correct me, but I think this is the first Shouwa Rider we've lost since Takehisa Yamaguchi, who played Jouji Yuuki/Riderman. Unless you like to count Yuriko Misaki/Tackle, played by the late Kyouko Ogata, as a Rider.

This also means we've lost Stronger and Tackle. :(

that was more directly related to a show we subbed, we havent done anything real with Stronger so its not likely to feature on the front page

I was just in the middle of watching the series when I found out he had passed away. For some reason it seemed to hit a lot harder because I was really invested in his character. I'm really hoping MCS hurries to finish the series after this, I really want to see the rest of the it.

I know it's kinda late for this, but I remembered seeing this and figured this was a appropriate place to put this
