Because of the disaster that strucked Japan last March 11, a lot of kids are left traumatized with what happened. That is why, Teruaki Ogawa who is best known as Ninja Sentai Kakuranger's Sasuke aka Ninja Red created a Twitter account called, @tokusatsuhero in which past and present actors from various tokusatsu shows such as Kamen Rider, Ultraman and Super Sentai posted in character to encourage the kids to stand up and face the future. Here are some of the tweets coming from this account. Will try to update this post as occasionally as possible as more of the translations of their tweets pop-up.
