Akito OSUGA

Akito OSUGA entered Shinichi CHIBA’s prestigious school, JAC (Japan Action Club), in the early 80s, where he learned comedy and also stunt performing. Akito OSUGA is part of the 12th promotion of the school, like his fellow student Sumiko TANAKA, aka Yellow Four II.

After his debut as a stunt performer in the show Uchû Keiji Sharivan, he auditioned for Bioman (Chôdenshi Bioman) and got the part of de Ryûta Nambara, aka Blue Three. He reached the top of his fame with this show, which led him to act beside famous actors like Hiroyuki SANADA (San Ku Kai, Last Samurai), Etsuko SHIHOMI, or Hikaru KUROSAKI (Igano Kabamaru, Juspion).

After quitting the JAC in the late 80s, he studied medicine and became a chiropractor. He opened his own clinic a few years later in Tokyo, and another, bigger, one, a little while ago with the help of his long-time friend Naoto OTA, Bioman’s Green Two.

As Bioman is turning 35 this year, Japan Expo is bringing together the full team of the show to celebrate the event with them. Let’s celebrate this show that has become legendary for early pop culture fans with Michiko MAKINO (Pink Five), Akito OSUGA (Blue Three), Naoto OTA (Green Two), Ryôsuke SAKAMOTO (Red One), Sumiko TANAKA (Yellow Four II), and Kazuo NIIBORI (Red One stunt actor).

Created in 1984 by Toei, Bioman is a super sentai TV show, a genre featuring superheroes in costumes fighting evil. The eighth series of this type in Japan, Bioman brought innovations like featuring two women among the five heroes, Yellow Four and Pink Five.

Its 51 episodes initially aired in 1984 and 1985 in Japan and soon also in France, first in 1985 and again in 1987. It was a success and the show became a must for the audience at the time.

Synopsis: The once prosperous Planet Bio is destroyed after a world war erupted over the use of a scientific discovery called "Bio Particles". The Planet Bio Peacekeeping Alliance, which sought to use Bio Particles for peaceful purposes, sends the giant robot Bio Robo and an assistant robot named Peebo to prevent the same tragedy from happening on Earth. Bio Robo arrives in 15th century Japan, where it showers Bio Particles on five young individuals. Five centuries later, the descendants of these individuals, infused with Bio Particles, are chosen by Peebo and Bio Robo to become the Bioman team to protect the Earth from the New Empire Gear, an organization led by mad scientist Doctor Man.
