About Shiro Izumi

  • Shiro Izumi (?? ??, Izumi Shiro) (born May 6, 1961) is a former Japanese actor, well known for his roles in the Super Sentai franchise.
  • He played two different central characters there: Yuuma Oozora/Change Pegasus in Dengeki Sentai Changeman and the role for which he gained the most attention, Burai/Dragon Ranger in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.
  • His tenure as Burai was so popular and successful that when his character died in Zyuranger, a letter writing campaign was undertaken by fans of the series to have him brought back.
  • While the writers ultimately decided to have Burai remain dead as a way of showing the younger viewers that even heroes die at times, Izumi returned to the role briefly as Burai's ghost toward the end of the series.
  • He guest starred in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger and Choriki Sentai Ohranger and appeared in the short Super Sentai World (as a photographer).
  • He has retired from acting and has one son.
