- First of all, please tell us the impression that you finished the stage of "TAMASHII NATION 2018".

It's been 10 years since "MASKED RIDER KIVA" aired, but from the fact that I was invited to an event like this and the reaction of the audience, I strongly felt that the work is still loved. Until recently, I was working as a member of "KAMEN RIDER BUILD", so I didn't have a chance to look back on "Kiba". That's why I spent a very precious time on this stage.

■ Father and Kamen Rider

――Mr. Takeda, please tell us about your childhood memories of Kamen Rider.

I'm from a generation that hasn't experienced Kamen Rider in real time, but my father loved Showa Rider and would often show me the videos. Since I had seen the first Kamen Rider, Stronger, and even ZX, I knew all about Showa Kamen Rider.
My favorite is Stronger, and it's cool to have sparks from both arms when making a transformation. The scene where the RIDERMAN's right arm is melted is scary and traumatized.

- Is not it pleased when such a father decided to appear "Kiba"?

At first, I was surprised, saying, "Are you a Kamen Rider?" I still remember my reaction at that time (laughs).
Also, when it was decided that I would be appearing in Build, I was delighted. It's rare to be chosen as the main character of Kamen Rider twice. Hiroshi Fujioka is the Kamen Rider of the Showa era, but since I also appeared in two works, it would be nice if he said, "Kohei Takeda is the Heisei Rider." smile).
My parents also enjoyed being able to play again with Inuko Takaharu Kim who was with the drama "Hotel Concierge" again.

Otoya is a character created by everyone ~ MASKED RIDER KIVA ~

――Then, please tell us about your memories of the scene. First of all, please tell us about the time when you played Otoya Kurenai in MASKED RIDER KIVA.

It was about 7 years since I started this work at the time, and I did not know well about the theater and the workplace. I desperately looked for what I could do, added expressions not on the script, put ad libs, and thought of doing anything. It was the staff at the scene that supported it and accepted the idea that I sent from you as "it is good!"
So I think that Kayonaga is a character that everyone created, and that is why I think that many people are still loved by now.

- It was a fierce person in the process.

I have not been particularly conscious of myself. Just trying to play the characters drawn by Toshiki Inoue, if I took as many hands as I could come up, it became tough. That is, Kaya is a coincidence product (laugh).

- The sound scene is active in the world in 1986, that era is also the year Takeda was born.

That's right. Moreover, since the setting of 23 years old was close to the age of the time of his father, I asked my father various things about that period. For example, I showed a photo of Saya and asked "Is this such a fashion popular?" Then I was told that "some strange people were wearing" (laugh).
Also, in that era there were many famous songs and I myself listened to BOØWY's album well. Also, songs of Nyang child clubs that flowed in the play were often squatting their fathers (laugh).
That's why I was deeply enthusiastic about that era and I put it smoothly in my role.

- It seems that you also practiced the violin because of a genius violinist setting.

I practiced enough to blister my hands.
Because there is a scene playing the violin almost every time, even if it is pretending playing, I have to make it sound to some extent.
I practiced around once a week before and after dubbing, and I was doing it with Yasushi Seto, a transporter. It was a lot of fun (laugh).

- What was the scene, dialogue that was impressive with "Kiba"?

There are many, but the one that left the biggest impression on me was the scene in the The Movie of "King of the Demon Castle" where I became Ixa and ran through a napalm explosion with Kiva Emperor Form.
The first test ran without explosion, but the suit was heavy and it was difficult to run.
Then, from Kenichi Takahiro's suit actor Mr. Seiji Takahata, it is said that "You can not speed up a bit more?", "If that is impossible," If you answer "If it's the case," he told me is.
However, the explosion sound was bigger than expected in the production, I was instinctively instinctively raised the speed. Later, Takayuki-san did not notice until you were semi-guilty because "you, who quickly increased speed!" Please check with DVD by all means. The desperate face at that time is not acting but a face that is really scared (laugh).

- Have you got any advice from Mr. Jiro Okamoto of IX's suit actor?

"Try walking for a while ... OK!" I heard that. Jiro is always like that.
When checking the way of running, I did not say the reason, "I came a little! With the dash!" I called it "It's good" already (laugh).
Perhaps it is because I think that it will be "to check how to run".

――Please ask about the products exhibited at this venue. Did Mr. Takeda himself know the SHFiguarts series?

Of course I know. At home, grease, build, close, rogue are sitting on good terms.
It is highly productive, it is a product that tickles adult's child's heart. I was impressed that moving to a driver and a twin breaker is still small.
I've taken pictures of this grease and build side by side at the location. Akuto Takashiro who acted as a war rabbit was also saying that "Akuru Miya, who is a great role, is cool!"

――How was your impression of seeing the SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU Kiba?

In the past figures, Kiba himself's goodness was reproduced, but I felt that I could not reproduce the real "power". However, I do not mean to say that it is bad. It's natural because it's smaller than genuine.
However, I felt the same force as a real thing from that Shinkocchou Kiba. There is no doubt that I say I saw the real Kiba many times in the field. Because I was transformed as a regular role in the last round, I also have an idea.
And above all, I was surprised to see that "expression" was reproduced.

- What do you say "expression"?

Kamen Rider itself has no expression.
But as the actor acts, the soul will stay, expressions and emotions will come out.
Besides, these facial expressions are not the suit actor himself, but if it is kiba, if it is grease it will look like a sea. I can reproduce the expression until the figure is amazing.
Because of that I could feel the muscle inside even though it is a figure.
No, that is my selfish feeling (laugh).

――Actually, the SHINKOCCHOU SEIHOU series is made from a human body model. I was surprised to see that much without any explanation from here.

Er, is that true? It is impressive that you make thoroughly there.
For Kamen Rider, we create a character together with a suit actor. Jiro-san and I are Ikusa, and Fujita Satoshi-san and I are Grease.
So I think that the rider after the transformation is also yourself.

- Because it is the person who was played it is the word. Also, how was the degree of reproduction of the pose?

Darkness The pose immediately before Moon Break was wonderful. Raising your face a little while crooked is a point. This is also my guess, but Kiba has a large compound eye, so it looks downwards when it faces downwards. That's why I think Takanishi had raised his face even when he was standing normally.
As you can see, the suits actors are always conscious of the angle to make it look good. It is wonderful to be able to reproduce the concern.

- In order to reproduce the subtle facial raising, the back of the collar moves this Kiba.

I am happy about that thought. If you teach Mr. Takayoshi, I will be moved to cry (laugh).
It is not a level to talk about figures one after another. It seems that he / she talks about one movie, "That play was good" or "That picture was good". In other words, it is with the "cry" of Van Gogh, Mona Lisa, Munch. There are various attractive elements such as color, angle, background, so I can not say it in a word.

- Thanks to Takeda says so, I think that the prototype teacher will be moved and will cry.

There is something that can be understood as the same artist. I also understand his efforts and I also felt the craftsmanship that "if it can not do so far, I do not have the meaning to do." It is like "It is not buckwheat flour if it is 10% buckwheat!" (Laugh).
My parents are also a family line of craftsmen, mothers carved stone guardian dogs dedicated to the shrine and the paternal is a family of cleaning shops that last for more than 110 years. Since I was watching such parents' attention from childhood, I can understand how much I stick to this kiba.

Overwrite your career as an actor ~ KAMEN RIDER BUILD ~

――Next, I would like to ask about the role of Kazumi Saruwatari in KAMEN RIDER BUILD.

It was an offer from producer Takahito Omori.
Oomori who was also a producer in "Kiba", what are you asking me for at the site of "build"? How should I be in the regular? And how do you play the role of Saruwatari Ikka? It was a year while thinking about them.

- Differentiation of the transformation pose was conscious of being a second appearance.

It was a time when the transformation pose was relatively easy when I was in Ikusa, but I wanted to make a movement that seems to be a Showa rider.
There he consulted at the work site and made me pose like No. 1 rider. And turning the left hand with Gris' transformation is a pose conscious of No. 1.
Moreover, it proves to be provocative with fingers that Mr. Kaya's "take it!" Gesture has been adopted as it is. They thought about Matcher the day before shooting the first transformation (laugh).

――Mr. Takeda has transformed into four riders, Ikusa, Dark Kiba, Kiba, and Gris, but this is the most record except for the Form change.

That's right. Besides, Ikusaberuto, Dark Kabat Belt, Kibat Belt, Squash Driver and the belt I use are also different.
And since the last grease blizzard was also transformed using a build driver, there was a special feeling different from the Form change (laugh).

-The Blizzard Knuckle used to transform into a Gris Blizzard was an item reminiscent of the former Ixan Knuckle.

The transformation of Blizzard was not a cut that turns the grip like a magma knuckle, it was a production that put it in the belt after inserting the bottle.
It became a director Koshiya Horiuchi on top of Kamihori that made pose conscious of Ikusa's transformation like that. He was also an assistant director at the scene of "Kiba", and they were friends with each other (laugh).
And when I met him for the first time in ten years I was surprised to be a fine director. Sometimes there are conflicting views, but I am a really respectable supervisor.
I absolutely wanted him to take the 47th episode where Ichihara had the last moment, he talked directly to himself and Omori (Keihito) producer. I decided to talk with the director "I'm done" after "Are you ready?"

- Which is your favorite rider you've ever transformed?

It is grease. It is Gris, including the meaning of overwriting his career as an actor, but I like Fujita's acrobatic movements too.
It is also great to be your own rider for the first time. Mr. Kenji Matsuda also transformed Ikusa (lol), because Dark Kiba also transformed Yamamoto Takuma and Shinya Shinya.
But what I like about designs is Ikusa. The face cross is nice and cool.
Basically I like all the riders of "Kiva" and "Build".
And the one I like in a transformation pose is Mr. Ryūji. My spirit towards the transformation pose of Mr. Akuto Masaru who plays a role is amazing. It is a wish from me who appeared in two rider works (laugh).

- It seems that Grease's power-up was a bold desire of Mr. Takeda.

At the scene, I was always begging for "let me change the Form!" Actually, it was foretold that there would be no grease power-up at an early stage.
But from my experience with Kiva, I knew that "Kamen Rider's scripts change over the course of a year, and that's what makes Kamen Rider so good."
And that story made three glasses. "The rider's site will always be evaluated if you do your best, I will do my best to make you live so that I can power up!"
And from Mr. Omori also said, "If popularity comes out," I tried my best to make one sea popular.

――In the children's magazine at that time, the double twin breaker of episode 39 was treated as a power-up, so I thought that there would be no grease Form change.

When summer movie costume fitting, Mr. Omori and Kamihori gleefully say, 'I was good to power up'. "Yes, I am glad that you can use two twin breakers," I replied, but I thought in my mind "Do not be silly!" (Laugh).
But, in fact, at that point it would have been decided on Gris Blizzard.

-And Blizzard Knuckle will appear in Episode 44, but at the beginning it was a development that seemed to be an item for all.

I heard from Mr. Omori that it would be an item for Ichiumi, but he didn't tell me if it would power up.
Gris Blizzard was announced to us by shooting the 44th and 45th episodes, and at that time everyone said "Cool!" Was exciting.
However, I didn't think it was a one-time transformation. Mr. Fujita also said, "It's unheard of for a reinforced Form that appears only once" (laughs).
But Gris is a rider made by pledge with me, Mr. Fujita, and three glasses "let's make it an absolutely good rider". It was frankly delightful that it was recognized and led to power up.
By the way, the punch of Gris Blizzard is the same pose as the punch at the beginning of one sea (episode 17). Mr. Fujita does not say a word like that in a word (laugh).

- Gris Blizzard, like Dark Kiba, was a rider who took away the lives of transformation people felt causality.

I think the rider I play is such a destiny. I am looking forward to appearances in ten years from now (laugh).
Since the crash driver also has a heavy burden on the body, I thought it was similar to the prototype Ixa.

- How was your impression of seeing the Gris Blizzard product?

I am glad that you have commercialized such a one-time Form.
I thought the balance of the left hand robot arm was exquisite. I think disgusting feeling comes out when making small size figures with the same contrast as the real thing, so I think that prototype teacher is constantly suffering from balance.
It was a sample at the prototype stage that I showed on this stage, but I'm looking forward to see how the prototype master's technique will explode.

――Please also comment on FiguartsZERO Kitato Miwa Glass.

Actually, only Castle was shown in advance. At that time I said "Are you serious?" (Laugh).
If they tell them as "plan to the last", they said that even "I was glad that they thought". Mr. Saeki (Serizawa Kohito), Takuya (Yoshimura) Takuya Yoshimura also wanted their figures and kept saying, "I'd like to arrange three glasses around Griss."
It is a dream for us that the characters played by myself become figures. The role that I played is left in shape and it is a proof that it itself worked as an actor and I can boast that a person is "this, me" (laugh).
But this time for the first time I saw three in line.
Furthermore, it is a nice production to attach a dog tag for grease of SHFiguarts (laugh).

- It is a crying fan that you can reproduce the relationship between Gris and three glasses with figures.

When there was a tangle between the sea and the three wings glasses, we had a meeting with everyone in advance.
"Let this scene do this" or "Drop me after lifting me with three people."
It is glad that such a form will be appreciated by such a group of us.

- Please reply if you have any character you want commercialized in this series.

At this point all the riders I've transformed are out, and there is nothing to say if it comes out to three glasses. So on the contrary I would like to ask everyone from me.

- Well, maybe?

Let's request BANDAI SPIRITS for the products you want to put out in this series.
For example Shinkocchou Toka EXA (save mode), Shinkocchou I think that there is a variety Toka Kibatto of Masao different colors at the time of transformation for Kiva. I don't say anything from me (laughs).

- I understand (laugh). So please give a message to fans nationwide.

New riders have appeared one after another in KAMEN RIDER Series, and this "KAMEN RIDER ZI-O" is the 20th work of the Heisei era. That's a wonderful thing, but I think that's why past works tend to fade.
But if I become a figure like Kiba, Gris Blizzard, Three glasses this time, I think that it will last forever in the heart of the person who got this.
Please remember us every time you see this as a hand for such a testimony of our lives. And I want you to cherish it anytime. Because the thoughts of the people who made figure figures including prototype teacher and also our thoughts involved in the work are packed.

――Finally, please let us know about the Kamen Rider work in which Mr. Takeda will appear.

Also, "Heisei Kamen Rider 20th Commemorative Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER", which will be released on December 22, is a festival movie suitable for the end of the Heisei era.
The highlight is Build and Jiu, a battle between Rabbit and Saigo, but other riders of the past run as well. I will also transform the bearded Kenji Kenjousan into a long time, and please keep an eye out as there are unusual combi shows.
And in V Synext "Build New World KAMEN RIDER CROSS-Z", Ryuga Banjo, who I like as a character, will be very active. Eiji Akaso, who plays this, worked hard to play the leading role. Please look forward to his success as he runs hard.
