It has been revealed that actor Jin Matsumoto will play "Green" Goju Eagle/Kinjiro Takehara in " No.1 Sentai Gozyuger " (TV Asahi, 9:30 a.m.), a 50th anniversary production of the Super Sentai series that will begin airing on February 16th.
Matsumoto is 19 years old, born on February 14, 2005. He is from Nara Prefecture. He is affiliated with the talent agency "PALUM PROMOTION". He won the Grand Prix of "Mister High School Contest 2021" and has appeared in dramas such as "Yukite Saku with You ~ Shinsengumi Seishunroku ~" (TV Asahi, 2024) and "3-C Class is Having an Affair" (Nippon TV, 2024).
Matsumoto, who attended the production announcement press conference held in Tokyo, said, "When I was a child, I looked forward to every Sunday and would get up to watch Sentai. With this production as well, the cast and staff will all work hard to make sure that more people can do the same!"
He said his favorite Super Sentai is Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (2011-2012), and commented, "The 'Ranger Keys' tickled my manly side, so I started collecting them!"
"No.1 Sentai Gozyuger" is a story about five heroes based on beasts such as animals and dinosaurs, who battle against the "Number One Monster" who has reached the top in all fields, rivals who wield the power of all the previous Reds, and even other Gojugers, in search of the "Sentai Ring," a ring that is said to grant any wish.
