TOEI's HERO NEXT brings back Previous Toku Actors

Toei company famous for its popular Tokusatsu series, especially Super Sentai Series and Kamen Rider Series is bringing you the a new project called, "HERO NEXT". The series will feature actors who had graduated from Toei's popular Tokusatsu series and show a new side of them. The first 2 actors that were picked are, Shu Watanabe and Ryosuke Miura, who had both co-starred with each other as the protagonist of Kamen Rider OOO.

Both of them who had played as the main characters, as Hino Eiji, who transforms into Kamen Rider OOO and his disembodied right-arm partner, Ankh. In one of the episode of HERO NEXT entitled as "Piece ~Fragments of Memory~", Shu Watanabe will play as a free reported and Ryosuke Miura as a cameraman with 5 personalities. They will be pursuing a mystery in this sci-fi suspense story. It will be directed by Ten Shimoyama.

 Both Shu Watanabe & Ryosuke Miura who portrayed as Hino Eiji & Ankh respectively
As the series' purpose is to bring another character of them aside from their famous "henshin" heroes in their past portrayal in previous Toei Tokusatsu series, there will be no "henshin" or whatsoever devices that have powers produced by the magic of CG effects. This series is somewhat an acting ability showdown for the actors.

Toei Television Producer, Shinichiro Shirakura explained about why they decide to start "HERO NEXT" project. "When their show ended, it is absurd to just, 'okay, bye'. If only there were a way to show another side of those hero show actors….”  The series will not only feature present Kamen Rider & Super Sentai actors but also those from the past series.

The first HERO NEXT film, "Piece" will be released as Direct-to-Video film. The Rental for the DVD will begin in November 9th and the released will be on November 21st.
