Koji Naka, who portrayed the Goat Orphenoch in Kamen Rider 555 but is perhaps best known as Master Kaku, the Dairangers’ mentor in Gosei Sentai Dairanger, passed away on December 19th at the age of 64.

In response, Keisuke Tsuchiya, who portayed Kazu the Kirinranger, left a message on his Twitter account.

"Mr. Koji Naka, aka Doushi Kaku, has passed away.
Such sudden news has not allowed me to really make sense of it.
I was with Ryo yesterday, so I was able to cope with it but when I am by myself, the tears will not stop.

Rest in peace.
Tenjisei Kazu / Keisuke Tsuchiya

Tsuchiya refers to fellow Dairanger alumni, Keiichi Wada, as Ryo, Wada’s character name from Dairanger.

Yeah, RIP.

But guys, he'll be back again when the next generation of Dairangers need to be trained.

64 ain't even that old, especially for a Jap. I wonder how he died.
>>

Cancer, prolly.
>>
>>13660313
Most likely something else like heart failure.
He was at tea with the brothers a few days ago.

At any rate, the cause wasn't mentioned, so I'd assume it's a natural one. If this is the case, he at least got to die peacefully.
>>
>>13660334
They usually don't mention the cause of death right away in Japan.
>>
>>13660408
Right they even wait a few days to even announce a person has died.
>>
>>13659876
Bummed.

No! This isn't good at all.
