My childhood (and first-ever toku) crush, Hiroshi Tsuburaya, in Uchuu Keiji Shaider (or just Shaider, which has been re-aired here in the Philippines several times). 😍 When he's not Shaider, he's Dai Sawamura, but to us he'll always be Alexis 😘

And he was one of the reasons why I got into Ultraman in the first place, not knowing then that he belonged to the clan that started and popularized the franchise. He was the grandson of Ultraman creator Eiji Tsuburaya and son of director/producer Hajime Tsuburaya, whom Hiroshi portrayed in Ultraman Tiga's 49th episode. He appeared in other Ultra series (Dyna, Gaia, Heisei Ultraseven) and a handful of Ultra movies.

I'm glad to have seen Shaider again. Nostalgic!!! ☺️

Excerpt of one of my favorite Shaider episodes (46th), where Priestess Poe (Ida in the Filipino-dubbed version) goes all out in killing Shaider through her "Phantom Showtime" torture with the aid of the remaining Hessler Girls (I referred to them as "mga babae ni Fuma Lay-ar" haha) and Beasts (Here she is changing attire while exhausting Shaider).

Until very recently, I really thought that Ida was portrayed by an actress. But he was played by Jun Yoshida, who's actually a guy, and so I've been lied to for a long, long time. 😅

Yoshida also auditioned for Dai/Shaider but Hiroshi ultimately got the role. But what if Yoshida portrayed Shaider... (in Ida's voice) "Code Name Shaider... ngayon din!" 😂

Hiroshi is sorely missed... now Shaider is patrolling somewhere in the vast, endless outer space... 🥺
