Yasuhisa Furuhara

Yasuhisa Furuhara, born in Kyoto in 1986, first turned up in the drama Nobuta wo Produce and then broke through in 2008 as Sosuke Esumi, Go-on Red, in Engine Sentai Go-onger. Outsiders tend to treat tokusatsu as a footnote in a Japanese actor's résumé. I think that gets it backwards. Playing the Red of a Super Sentai season is one of the most punishing jobs in the industry: roughly fifty episodes of relentless optimism, delivered in a helmet half the time, on a shooting schedule that would break most people, while carrying a show that children watch with total sincerity. Do it badly and the whole season curdles. Do it well and you are typecast as sunshine for the next decade. At 180 cm with an easy, open presence, Furuhara was well cast for it, and he has kept working since. That second act — staying in the business after the suit comes off — is the part nobody puts on the highlight reel, and the part I respect most.
