This article is about a actor in Dai Sentai Goggle V and Kagaku Sentai Dynaman |
Jyunichi Haruta (春田 純一, Haruta Jun'ichi) is a Japanese actor who had played Kanpei Kuroda (GoggleBlack) in Dai Sentai Goggle V and Ryuu Hoshikawa (DynaBlack) in Kagaku Sentai Dynaman. He also played Madgalant, one of the main villains of the Metal Hero show Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion, in 1985. Haruta is peculiar among tokusatsu actors in which he is one of the few who also does his own stunts, in and out of suit. Aside from doing his own stunts as Goggle and DynaBlack, he was previously a suit actor for Spade Ace and Big One in J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai.
