The Seiji Takaiwa Show-Off Post

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

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 ♥ ).

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. ^_^;
