top 5 toku guys?
Oh yeah a chance to be subjective and ramble abt men my favorite thx
1. Gai - Jetman
Peak archetypal Inoue scumbag. He's a creep he's pathetic he's deeply repressed in multiple ways but most importantly he's cool as fuck. Him and Ryu have the most yaoi dynamic that has ever yaoied, every scene between them they were having sex actually ! Spoilers ! his death is also both the most earned and deserved death ever. Earned as in he proved himself to be a force for the greater good after rejecting the responsibility constantly, he died surrounded by ppl who love him and was killed performing a heroic act; deserved bc he was very much a creepy asshole, ESPECIALLY to Kaori. Like I love him but Kaori didn't deserve any of that
(Toshihide Wakamastu also super hot. like having a guy that looks like THAT wear leather gloves all the time should be illegal)
2. Jan - Gekiranger
Best sentai red hands down. His arc of becoming a more focused and less feral hero (his domestication arc if you will) is so well done. Him and Leo have a fantastic rivalry (literally destined to kill each other shit) that is also super yaoi. He could have easily been super annoying but thankfully his irrational behavior comes off more endearing (and understandable literally everything is new and confusing to him) thanks in part due to Hiroki Suzuki's great acting (and great face). he's just a lil kitty cat!!!!
3. Asakura - Kamen Rider Ryuki
He's killed dozens of ppl, he was born in a toilet and ate literal shit for years, he serves cunt while having never bathed in his life, he's the character of all time
I adore how the writers do TWO redemption fakeouts w/ him (didn't actually want to reunite w/ his brother nor cared abt that little girl he was "protecting") to drive the point home that this guy? is a agent of pure violence and chaos. he is basically non-human and cannot be reasoned with. This makes him a great narrative foil for "desperately tries to see the good in everyone" Shinji and a great yaoi foil for "literally my job to keep you in order" Kitaoka
Ryuki was a perfect starter kamen rider/toku show for me solely bc of this dude. my hole made for me <3
4. Taiga - Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
Me darling ice king <333 Seriously Taiga is the best character in ex-aid (aside from Poppy). I love how he mirrors Hiiro; both highly prideful and that pride leads them to do more destructive things in pursuit of what they believe is the greater good but really is more so just abt salvaging their bruised egos. And neither them could save Saki as Kuroto guaranteed her death by spraying her w/ more gamer disease
That and his partnership w/ Nico is so charming; hilarious in how Nico's bullheaded attitude forced Taiga to lighten the fuck up and genuinely heartbreaking when Nico was totally hysterical when Taiga nearly died. In short, he has layers like an onion and the sour taste of one too luv himmmmm
ALSO ALSO THE ONLY GUY WHO WANTED TO KILL KUROTO BUT EMU AND HIIRO WERE LIKE "noooo we can't kill this bio terrorist that'd be wrong :( for some reason" based Taiga always correct
5. Yellow/Gaku - Gaoranger
This pick is entirely subjective. He's not super deep or complex by any means (nothing in Gaoranger is, even for a sentai it's light on everything expect batshit insanity) BUT he is very Gender and Just Like Me fr
I love how his character (battle hardened military grunt) could've easily been a no-fun straight man but he acts more like an eldest brother to the team (rational and strict when it comes to immediately dangerous matters but amicable and goofy when it comes to boosting team morale). That and his lil details like randomly speaking English or being morally against eating birds give him that bit more flavor
Honorable mentions to Kusaka, Sosuke, Kyosuke, Gokai Gai and Tendou bc this post is long enough as is lmao

I have been having feels about Japanese voice actors lately, so let me bring to your attention that MFB actually has an INCREDIBLE og cast:
Tsuda Kenjirou as Ryuuga
Even if you’ve watched only a few anime or played only a few Japanese games, I strongly believe you have heard this voice. This guy is honestly one of the most respected voice actors in Japan. His distinctive low voice is SO characteristic, it’s a perfect pick for Ryuuga. I could go on and on how sexy he sounds, but let’s keep it family friendly.
Koyasu Takehito as Daidouji
This guy is so known for his villain roles, you just can’t mistake him for anyone else. There’s no better voice for Daidouji.
Hino Satoshi as Tategami Kyouya
Another very popular actor, this role seems to be a bit different than what he’s usually cast as. I really enjoy the way he portrayed the fierceness and fearlessness in Kyouya.
Irino Miyu as Ootori Tsubasa
One of my personal favourite voices ever, he’s very good at portraying calm and collected characters, but also incredibly skilled at shoving their inner turmoil and eventual breakdowns. I wish he was more active in the industry at the moment!
Inoue Marina as Hasama Hikaru
Usually known for more girly roles, Hikaru revealed another, lower layer to her voice. I really enjoy that type of character and she delivered her performance perfectly. Wish she did more roles like this one.
Hayami Shou as Hagane Ryuusei
Another legend who doesn’t need to be introduced. I feel like his performance, even he doesn’t appear in the majority of the episodes, adds a sense of professionalism to every scene he’s in. It’s also a great choice to have him as the narrator in the intro.
Kakihara Tetsuya as Hyouma
He’s mostly known for boyish roles and while Hyouma does fit that criteria, the hidden layer of fake politeness is incredibly fun to listen to. I really enjoyed this performance and it’s a shame he got so little screentime.
Ishida Akira as Ooike Tobio
The legend of all legends. The man can single-handedly perform a skit starring a family of seven! Needless to say, I was delighted to hear him as Tobio. It’s such a fun role and again, I wish he got more dialogue because it’s just SO GOOD to listen to.
Yuuki Hiro as Fukami Ryuutarou
Not only an accomplished actor, but also an incredible singer. His distinctive voice is a perfect pick for Ryuutarou, especially with the unusual speech pattern that he had to pull off. It resulted in a very unique performance.
Okamoto Nobuhiko as Saotome Teru
One of the most popular actors in the recent years, I feel like Teru is one of those roles that you don’t immediately recognise because the actor changes his voice THAT MUCH. It only proves how versatile he can be.
Hatano Wataru as Wang Da Xiang
You might know him from several recent anime, he’s not typically what you have in mind when you think of a “competitive guy focused on upholding a long tradition”. Which is why I think subverting the expectations worked great and giving Da Xiang a rather calm voice was a great choice overall.
Takahashi Hiroki as Zhou Xing (Chao Xin)
Another calm voice in a “not-so-calm” role. He performed Zhou Xing’s childishness and carefreeness so naturally, and yet so different from his normal tone!
Hosoya Yoshimasa as Wells
Another personal favourite, he’s such a sweet guy and yet he possesses one of the MANLIEST voices in the industry. He can perform both goofs and serious guys, but it’s the latter that has such an incredible impact. Naturally, his voice suits Wells like none other.
Yonaga Tsubasa as Demure
You might know him from “cute boy” roles, so it’s really refreshing to hear him in a more challenging role. I really enjoy his composed performance!
Sugiyama Noriaki as Blader DJ
And last but not least, another legendary actor. While DJ might not be a “character” per se, it’s such an important role! I absolutely love his voice. Fun fact, he also voiced the DJ in the og series of Beyblade.
Of course this is only a fraction of the actors performing in MFB but I’ve listed those I’m most familiar with. I just wanted to emphasise they are the some of the most well-respected and popular voice actors in their field - not quite what you’d expect from a show made to advertise toys :)
