Taisuke Fujigaya of Kis-My-Ft2 had been confirmed to star in the live action television adaptation of Tohru Fujisawa's Kamen Teacher manga. Fujisawa is the author of the Great Teacher Onizuka manga, which already spun successful live action adaptations.
This will be Fujigaya's first teacher role, as well as his first tokusatsu and motorcycle action role. He commented that since he was a child, he loved hero stories and always wanted to put a mask back then.
Additional cast members are Aya Omasa (Paradise Kiss) as an English teacher, and Sexy Zone's Fuma Kikuchi (Future Diary -Another World-) as the powerful 2-C leader "M4". Johnny's Jr. members Jesse, Yūta Kishi, Taiga Kyōmoto, Shō Takada, and A.B.C-Z's Ryōichi Tsukada, were also included.
In the original manga, Gota Araki is a special Instructor in the Kamen Teacher Program which gives problem schools a complete overhaul. When he dons a mask, he becomes "Kamen Teacher Hayato Jūmonji", a hero for justice. He brings light to troubled schools by putting down delinquents.
The live action Kamen Teacher premieres on July 6th.

Metal Heroes is coming back...
Taipi in a toku drama with a bunch of juniors? Interesting...
lmao Metal Heroes
I wish they did this with the same cast as the more recent live action adapation of GTO. It already felt like an alternate universe take on Fourze.
Color me excited.
