Shunsuke Takasugi (高杉 俊介, 高杉 俊价, Takasugi Shunsuke, born Naoki Iwata (岩田 直樹, Iwata Naoki); 22 July 1949) is a Japanese former actor, singer and fugitive, best known for playing the lead character in the television series Kamen Rider Super-1. In 2013 he was reported to have stolen ¥50 million (about US$ 450,000) from fans between 2003 and 2012. After refusing to either return the money or appear in court to answer a lawsuit, Takasugi disappeared sometime in 2017.[2]

Personal life

[edit]

He is a research associate of a former Japan Ground Self-Defense Force ranger, from action to military guidance.[citation needed]

He is participating in "Treasures of the Shinkansenji" which is held annually as a series of events, talk shows and fan clubs.[citation needed]

During his career with Kamen Rider Super-1, his young age was reported in various media at the time, but in an interview he recently announced his actual age.[3][1]
