Toku heroes tweets to the children!

Because of the disaster that strucked Japan last March 11, a lot of kids are left traumatized with what happened. That is why, Teruaki Ogawa who is best known as Ninja Sentai Kakuranger's Sasuke aka Ninja Red created a Twitter account called, @tokusatsuhero in which past and present actors from various tokusatsu shows such as Kamen Rider, Ultraman and Super Sentai posted in character to encourage the kids to stand up and face the future. Here are some of the tweets coming from this account. Will try to update this post as occasionally as possible as more of the translations of their tweets pop-up.

The thread still continues on 4chan's /m/ thread as past and present actors are posting their messages in their superhero selves. In case you are still doubtful of its legitimacy, Asami Kai aka MagiBlue/Urara Ozu from Mahou Sentai Magiranger posted about this in her blog and if you still can't believe it, Yousuke Ito aka DekaGreen/Sen-chan from Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger talked about it in his blog! Asides from that, some actors retweeted it in their respective Twitter accounts and if my memory serves me correctly, Hiro Mizushima retweeted his "Tendou" status in his official Twitter!
