The Seiji Takaiwa Show-Off Post

[sparkywolf]

If you watch Kamen Rider or Super Sentai (or even Power Rangers), you would definitely have heard of this great stuntman. If not, well, considering PR takes a lot of their footage from the original Japanese series, Seiji Takaiwa should have graced your American TV screen a LOT. Especially as the Green Ranger (sorry to burst people's bubbles, but it wasn't Tommy Oliver or his American stuntman doing all the stunts!) !

Now, watch as EZ Rider from Toku Time gives him his due with this short but awesome tribute video. Keep up the good work as OOO this year, Seiji! We'll be cheering for you! 

DRAGON RANGER FTW!!! TOMMY OLIVER , I mean Seiji Takaiwa ROCKS! *gives two thumbs up*

Quote of the day: "Again, it's Tommy who gets all the credit for making the Green Ranger larger than life, Well if it wasn't for Seiji Takaiwa, that would never happen. He made the Green Ranger bad-ass first, and don't you forget it!" - EZ Rider

Seiji Takaiwa, entertaining us all since 1993

He was Riderman in RX too <3

Seiji is awesome <3 I lack the words to describe how awesome he is. xD

[nerefir.livejournal.com]

I used to comment on his blog all the time, it was so awesome.

[sparkywolf.livejournal.com]

Did he ever reply to any of your comments?

[nerefir.livejournal.com]

He didn't reply to any of them--I don't think he quite understood how it worked. He also made a lot of typos and kept apologizing for them.

[sparkywolf.livejournal.com]

Sounds like he's not very technology-proficient. ^_^;

[nerefir.livejournal.com]

In one of the JAE talk shows he said he practices typing on his days off. It was kind of cute.

[sparkywolf.livejournal.com]

Oh, it is cute.

[nerefir.livejournal.com]

His cuteness continues to astonish me.

[sparkywolf.livejournal.com]

I can imagine ^^; I can already tell you're a somewhat obsessed Seiji fangirl.

[nerefir.livejournal.com]

Can't dance, loses at rock-paper-scissors...

[sparkywolf.livejournal.com]

LOL. Is Seiji really that full of fail sometimes? xD

[nerefir.livejournal.com]

He's got to have bad points somewhere or he wouldn't be human. ^^;

[sparkywolf.livejournal.com]

You have a point there. ^^

We all LOVE Seiji Takaiwa's works!!!!!!!!!

He is the Suit Actor best known of the Heisei Era n_~
And even an influence for many actors

[sparkywolf.livejournal.com]

Spread the love! Throw this video up on your site too! ^o^ Show everybody how awesome he is! Do it! Do it! *gets pom poms with Seiji's name written on them and starts waving them around wildly*

[izumi-ixa.livejournal.com]

I did my own post for him in his Birthday ^-^

Suit Actors need more recognition. There are only a few people that have "Suit Actors" between their interest (and yes, I'm one of them ♥ ).

[sparkywolf.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm. Because everyone doesn't really pay too much attention to the guys behind the suit. I had heard of Seiji Takaiwa because of his role as the suit actor for OOO, but I never knew until EZ Rider pointed it out that he did roles for other Kamen Riders and Super Sentai warriors too. ^_^;
