i wonder if any of this began with a search for the earliest acting works of Odagiri Joe...

he never reprised his role even though Kuuga had to appear in the 10th anniversary rider series (Kamen Rider Decade)!

10 years hence, Odagiri had obviously moved away from the typical pretty boy roles which made him popular.

you're right, it did! i've heard odagiri joe praised as "the asian johnny depp", among other things... and i realized i'd never seen anything he'd ever done. it just so happened that kuuga was most accessible to me at the time... also, i was probably in the mood for something not so emotionally heavy (man, was i in for a surprise).

:( it makes me sad that he doesn't seem to want to return to being godai yuusuke. he made this character one of the most memorable TV heroes for me. but now that he's a serious actor, i suppose i can understand...
