The red carpet for the 4th Yokohama International Film Festival was held on May 2nd at Yokohama's Red Brick Park, where Jun Kaname, Toshiki Kashu, and Yuchami, who star in the currently showing film "Agito - Superpower War," walked the carpet, responding to the cheers of the assembled fans.
In addition to Kaname, Kashu, and Yuchami, Hitomi Fujita, Jun Yamazaki, Ryuta Tasaki Shibata, and director Ryuta Tasaki also participated in the red carpet event. After Kaname greeted the audience saying, "25 years have passed since the TV series, and it's been revived in a movie. Please help us promote it!", Kashu declared, "Since we're here, I'll transform!" With the cry of "Transform!", he struck a pose, and Kamen Rider Agito appeared on stage, thrilling the fans.
Yuchami, dressed in a Kamen Rider G6-colored dress, said, "This is my first time on a red carpet! I think today will be a very memorable day. Please go see 'Agito - The Psychic War' in theaters."
The film is a commemorative work for the 55th anniversary of Kamen Rider's birth and is the latest theatrical film adaptation of "Kamen Rider Agito" (2001-2002), the second series in the Heisei Kamen Rider series. Kaname, who played Kamen Rider G3/Makoto Hikawa in "Agito," takes the lead role, and the original cast, including Kashu, who played Kamen Rider Agito/Shoichi Tsugami, has reunited. As with the TV series, director Tasaki is at the helm, and Toshiki Inoue is in charge of the screenplay. In a world where people are beginning to awaken to "superpowers" one after another, the film depicts the rampage of those with power and the resolve of those without power.
