Kamen Rider Drive And Kamen Rider Gaim Are Now Athletes

I was looking through Nihon Hero which is one of my sources for pictures for my Super Sentai blog and this blog. This is what I read from the same page where I got this picture and no, we're not having a Drive vs. Gaim crossover:

TBS had announced that Gaku Sano (Kota Kazuraba / Kamen Rider Gaim) is going to co-star in the TBS Drama "Rikuoh". In this Drama he will play the role of Naoyuki Kezuka who is the athlete of the company Asian Industry. He will be the rival of Ryoma Takeuchi's (Shinnosuke Tomari / Kamen Rider Drive) character Hiroto Mogi who is the athlete of Daiwa Foods. This will be their first co-starring after "Shitamachi Rocket" which was also a TBS Drama.

After hearing this news, the fans began to say they waiting for the Kamen Rider Battle.

Drama Rikuoh is written by Jun Ikeido who had also written Shitamachi Rocket. This is Industry & Worker theme based Drama which focuses on the Industry that produces Sports Item like Running Shoes. Ryoma Takeuchi & Gaku Sano's characters are the athletes of different industries.

This drama stars Kouji Yakusho, Kento Yamazaki & Ryoma Takeuchi. Masato Wada (Akiba Red) & Ryosuke Yamamoto (Kamen Rider Specter) are also announced to co-star as athletes.

Ryoma Takeuchi recently appeared in the Limited Edition 10th Anniversary CM of SoftBank. Gaku Sano is going to co-star in the movies HiGH&LOW THE MOVIE 3 / FINAL MISSION (member of RUDE BOYS) & honey.

While both Drive and Gaim helped each other during their crossover movie but now we'll see both Kamen RIder actors play as rivals in the athletic world. I think it's always nice to have something to do after Tokusatsu until you decide to pursue other fields. I just can't wait to see these two compete against each other on-screen for a change.
