This article is about a suit actor in the Super Sentai series. |
Hideaki Kusaka (日下 秀昭 Kusaka Hideaki) was a recurring suit actor and voice actor.
Best known for mainly portraying Giant Robos and villains from Denshi Sentai Denziman to Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger with the exception of Chouriki Sentai Ohranger, Gekisou Sentai Carranger and Seijuu Sentai Gingaman due to being highly active in the Metal Heroes series at the moment with Kazutoshi Yokoyama and Jiro Okamoto acting as substitute for the Main robo of the season[1]. He stopped being a Super Sentai warrior suit actor after the end of Boukenger (with the exception of one warrior eleven years later) but continues playing Giant Robos and villains.
Scenes of his character of Totpat were used for Baboo in most of Season 1 and the first episode of Season 2 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
The final episode of Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger marked his definitive retirement from suit acting,[2] with Yohei Fujita taking over his role as suit actor for all of the main Giant Robos.
