RIP Toku Legend And Action Star, Masashi Ishibashi


Well I just didn't realize it  but the great action villain actor Masashi Ishibashi finally died of heart failure last December 19, 2018 at the age of 85 years old.

Yup, it'd be a blue Christmas without him especially if you've had memories of him playing great Toku villains such as Iron Claw, High Priest Hedder, General Karr and the rather short-lived Boma Professor Rehda (which I heard he left Turboranger out of personal reasons such as his outfit) or King Yang in Gekiranger. He also had guest roles such as a lonely old man in Kamen Rider Black and as a super priest in Jetman. Sadly, I'm only more familiar with his roles as Hedder, General Karr and Professor Rehda the most!

But we all have to die one day, right? RIP Ishibashi you will be missed by the a lot of Toku fans who grew up watching you play Toku villains!
