This heroic duo saves Japan Expo!
Kesshou! Dimensional warriors! Join Hiroshi Watari and Makoto Sumikawa, the two main actors in the Spielvan series, at Japan Expo. These tokusatsu veterans will plunge you into the world of Japanese superheroes.
They were together, the inseparable avengers Spielvan and Diana Lady, in the Jikû Senshi Spielvan series that once aired here in France. They meet again 39 years later at Japan Expo.
Hiroshi Watari and Makoto Sumikawa are two stunt actors specializing in tokusatsu series, having both graduated from Sonny Chiba's school: the JAPAN ACTION CLUB (JAC), where film stars including Hiroyuki Sanada were trained.
Apart from their iconic duo in Spielvan, these two actors have shared roles in the Metal Hero franchise (Gyaban, Sharivan, Winspector, Jaspion, etc.) and in other tokusatsu such as Kamen Rider BLACK RX and Zebraman.
These childhood heroes do three backflips and a glide to save Japan Expo from the forces of evil. Find out more about their exploits at a conference or signing session.
Hiroshi Watari and Makoto Sumikawa are present over the 4 days of the festival.
