Next up is Metal Yoshida, who played Pierre Alfonso Oren.Īs his filming wrapped up, Yoshida constantly told us all that “It’s been so much fun!” The way he managed to confidently play the nobody, whilst still having moments of being really cool, is something no other actor could replicate! When he read the script for the last episode, Matsuda told me he was really excited about this! After all, he and Kurokage were a partnership – it was him that gave Jounouchi the name Kamen Rider Ornac/Gridon! He may not have told Shiramata, but I’ll bet you anything he actually really liked the name!Īs the, umm… self-styled tactician (ha!), he helped shed a lot of light on the world Gaim takes place in. And that was Jounouchi Hideyasu transforming into Kamen Rider Kurokage, a mantle inherited from his late friend Hase. In this final episode, there was one particularly touching transformation. Next up is Ryou Matsuda, playing tactician/pâtissier Jounouchi Hideyasu! As an aside, the pilot episode of Gaim was the first time she’d met Director Ryuuta Tasaki or Matsumura, the cameraman, since her work on Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon! And I’m sure I spotted a familiar glint in her eye when she saw the old Toei filming lot again! To Miss Izumi we say thank you for everything you did on the show! Whenever he started to lose his way, she’d be there to show him what to do. This stunning red bouquet suits her nicely, don’t you think?ĭuring the show she acted as the gentle, guiding figure for Kouta, who was constantly struggling with becoming an adult. Her last scenes were filmed here at Pâtisserie chez Charmant II. – Toei Producer, Naomi Takebe Production Notes “Thank you for all your work on Gaim!”ĭirector Ishida’s group was the first to finish filming – and it was a bunch of people’s final scenes at once! First up was Rika Izumi, playing Kouta’s sister, Akira Kazuraba. If you, like us, can’t bear to see Gaim go, then I hope you’ll join us for a few hours together that day. On the 12th October, we’ll be holding the Final Stage – a huge all cast event, which we’ll be broadcasting live at cinemas around the country.
KAMEN RIDER DRIVE CAST MOVIE
The story has come to an end, but I’d like to hope it’s not all over… just yet? But of course right now, focus is on December’s new Movie Wars. To everyone who’s loved the story and the characters, and supported the show – thank you all so much. And it’s made me so happy to see every character in the show being popular with the fans, thanks to the hard work and camaraderie between this wonderful cast. Urobuchi in the writers’ chair, built an army of veteran Heisei Rider staff, and aimed to create a show like we’d never made before. It’s been nearly two years now since we decided to bite into that forbidden fruit that is a multiple rider show, and begun the planning and design of the show. This post offers a final farewell from the cast and staff that worked on the show, and I’ve preserved the format and imagery of it intact, merely translating the text. (Translator’s Note: This is a translation of the final episode blog post on Toei’s official Gaim blog, which is kind of the auxiliary, adult-aimed site that dealt with production talk and behind-the-scenes information.
