He is the one who reignited the spirit and revolutionized the Kamen Rider series with the comeback series, Kamen Rider Kuuga, back in 2000. Now, here is what he has to say about the series 22 years after.

Joe Odagiri was interviewed recently during his promotion of the upcoming movie "What to do with the dead" that is scheduled to be released on February 4th. This is what he said when asked about Kamen Rider Kuuga.

"I had been studying the stage until then, and I had almost no experience in acting in front of the camera, so I learned a lot. As an actor, I was brought up at that site. However, for a year, I was able to face the role and pursue its depth, and it was also the site where I learned the real thrill of working hard. In that sense, I think I was able to do a really good job. " I haven't forgotten about Kuuga.

I was very happy and thankful that the work was a success, but on the contrary, I couldn't do anything myself, so if the work was successful, it would be the producer. And the staff who were particular about it, including the directors."

And as a fan of the original series, I am also thankful to the actor for bringing hope to the franchise and making it a gateway for younger actors to start small and become successful.
