Introducing Katsumi Hyodo As Ryusoulger's Sixth Member

Well is it me or does sixth ranger pacing tend to be experimented on? I remembered how I didn't like the fact Kyoryuger and Ninninger introduced their sixth ranger in the 11th episode. Lightspeed Rescue and Time Force introduced theirs in the 11th to the 12th episode. So when's he making his debut? So I decided to translate an article and interview with the actor himself taken from Natalie Eiga News using Google translate so please bear with me if there are some mistranslations along the way:

The appearance of additional warrior Kanaro / Ryusou Gold is decided in the super squadron series 43rd work "Dinosaur Knight/Dragon Knight Squadron Ryusoulger". It was found that Katsumi Hyodo played the same role.

This work depicts the activities of Kou/Ryusoul Red and others who fight with their partner knight dragon to protect the Earth from the evil enemy known as Druidon. In addition to the five Ryusoulgers are played by Hayate Ichinose, Keito Tsuna, Ichika Osaki, Yuito Obara and Tatsuya Kishida. The sixth warrior appears on the 14th episode of the broadcast on June 23, 2019.

Kanaro is transformed by charging the Gold Ryu Soul to the item known as the "Mosa changer" which is different from other Ryusoul Changers. He has a high level of combat skills, using a weapon called "Billibilli Soul", Ryu Soul, and "Mosa Laser". He is a descendant of the "Ryusoul tribe of the sea," who hated fighting among the Ryusoul tribes since the Druidon fled to space 6500 years ago, and was engaged in a quiet life on the seabed. Kanaro is engaged to be married on land because of the prosperity of the family, as there are only a small number of extant sea tribes. He is a handsome, straight, good looking guy of a character, but in fact, he is a super saver and a lot of scums, so it's a character that doesn't seem to be a mote.

Mr. Hyodo, a university student born in 1998, won the Grand Prix in 2018 in the "NEW CINEMA PROJECT" Performers category for auditioning films by GYAO and Amuse. Born from the same project, she has appeared in the " 500 million yen money " plan to be released in July. In addition, the career which appeared in the love reality show "love drama like love wants" season 2 of AbemaTV.

Comments arrived from the commander this time. “I cannot understand the reason why Kanaro was married at the beginning. I understand that the shooting has started now! Canaro is straight and honest. So I have a straight line for the purpose of “prosperity of offspring”. "We will also get married." In addition, in order to play the part, "I think Kanaro is a prince from the sea, so I want to play coolness carefully," he said enthusiasm.

"Knight Dragon squadron Ryusoulger" is on TV Sunday every Sunday from 9:30. In addition, "Knight Ryu Sentai Ryusoger THE MOVIE (provisional title)" is a road show from July 26 with "Theatrical version Kamen Rider Zi-O (provisional title)".

Here are his comments based on the same source:

Feeling when the appearance was decided

It was a surprise before pleasure. In addition to proceeding to the final examination without feeling the response in the audition, I have bitten words in the final examination... since I wasn't honestly confident at the moment I got a notification of passing at a later date. I was surprised and suddenly got some adrenaline! I remember that I couldn't even go to sleep that day. Now I'm biting the joy of being able to appear in the part for that surprise.

Thoughts on "Super Sentai series"

The Super Sentai series for me is Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (February 2009-February 2010 broadcast). I still remember it well. After the appearance was decided, I looked back to the past works in various ways, but when I saw "Shinkenger", I felt the most "No! This!" I felt nostalgic! 

My grandmother's house still had a picture taken as a hero at a hero show as a child, and even now, when I was a child, there was a hero in my mind, so this time, When I was made to appear and remembered that ... I realized once again the pride of being able to become a super squadron to see. 

In particular, Ryusoulger is a work that straddles Heisei and Reiwa in the historic squadron series, and Kanaro played by me is the first hero to appear after the era of relegation! Because I received such a commemorative role, I strongly want to be a hero who will remain in the audience's impression.

Being conscious of playing Kanaro

As I felt when I was watching the Super Sentai Series when I was a child, I think it is most important to have many children who look at the Ryusoulgers think that they are "cool". So I just want to play cool. 

I did not understand why Kanalo was engaged in marriage well until I received the script and faced the role (laughs), but now I can understand it! Kanaro is straight and honest. So we also get married in a straight line for the purpose of prosperous offspring. I would like to properly express the straightness of Kanaro properly. I also think that Kanaro is a prince who came from the sea, so I want to play his coolness carefully.

The impression of other members

I don't know much about it, but I was worried about being able to get in with five good friends from the beginning of the shooting. Since my crank-in was staying at a location in a rural area, we all took a bath in a large public bath, gathered in the room of Ichinose, and practice dancing, it is natural to look back now I feel like I was putting in a loop. I think that is really because all the members kindly welcomed me.

The impression that saw the visual of Ryusoul Gold/Kanaro

All types from hairstyle to the clothes! I fell in love at first sight. (Laughs) When I first saw the visuals, the staff came in so many lots at the place of the costume match and I was moved to say "This is a character that is filled with the thoughts of so many staff!" I felt that I had to have a strong sense of responsibility. I think that I have to do my best from now on so as not to lose such a cool costume!

Message to the audience

"Ryusoulger" is a special work that will be a big challenge as the Hyodo Gongkai. When I was a kid, I promise to be absolutely cool heroes as well as the heroes I watched excitingly! 

We will do our best to make sure that many viewers love Kanaro because it is "Kanaro is cool!", so please do not miss Kanaro! After that, it is nice to be able to look at how everyone in "Ryusoulger" is working hard with all my strength!

Now for my own thoughts. So he's pretty much born in 1998 making him 13 years my junior. He would only be ten years old when Shinkenger (which is presumably his favorite Sentai). I also think about the plot of Kanaro though I'd rather wait for Ryusoulger to air him before giving more thoughts on said character. Just waiting for that day to happen while I do my real life work for now!
