Shun Shioya

Plenty of Japanese actors start out as a Super Sentai hero; very few use it as a launch pad rather than a ceiling. Shun Shioya played Hurricane Red in Ninpu Sentai Hurricanger in 2002, then turned up in Kazuyuki Izutsu's Break Through!, a film about Japanese and Korean-Japanese teenagers colliding in late-1960s Kyoto - about as far from spandex heroics as you can get. That pivot is what interests me. Born in Kanazawa in 1982, he had the looks to coast on clean-cut parts and didn't. There have been stretches when the coverage was about his private life rather than his work, and he kept turning up on set anyway. I respect the stubbornness in that.
