Michiko Makino's Tsukudani Store

The Tokusatsu Network was just luck to meet across one of my childhood stars (and my first Tokusatsu crush prior to Kanako Maeda and Amy Jo Johnson) namely Michiko Makino.  Ah the memories!  PINK FIVE!


Here's a front view of the shop...

The Tokusatsu Network's Tom Constantine (right) with Michiko Makino.  Now for some interesting information he gathered about her during their interview:

1.) Michiko Makino's favorite episode is Bioman episose 14 where her character Hikaru Katsuragi/Pink Five befriends the Neural Brain, an intelligent computer that Dr. Man invented.

2.) Their shop is extremely busy in the tourist spot of Tsukiji. They have visitors from around the world.

3.) She considers Bioman as part of family.

4.) For her, Super Sentai contains many things such as love, hope and friendship.

Well it's nice to reconnect to my childhood once more!
