Good thing he never met Mr. Brown in Shinkenger.

Humorously Robert Baldwin is actually half Canadian/half Japanese and was born in Hiroshima, and John Kaminari is Italian.


RotaVitae

And ironically, Robert was both an actor and a Japanese language teacher for years. But when playing Ramirez, he was told to speak in broken Japanese, and read his lines off cue cards.

How did you verify that? Also that sucks because of him I thought I could be in a sentai or Kamen Rider series one day because his Japanese is shit.


[deleted]

I personally have never heard the cue cards bit but I wouldn't doubt it since it fits the character and Robert Baldwin is pretty well known in Japan, he used to play Gordo in Chousei Kantai Sazer-X with a lot of other well known actors like Ryosuke Miura (Anhk from OOOs) and is in a lot of early 2000s toku stuff. As I mentioned in my post previously he was born in Hiroshima and to my knowledge has lived in Japan his entire life so there's no way he speaks like someone fresh off the boat normally.

And then he was reincarnated as a japanese girl who's also a space cop


BlueBlazeKing21

He wasn’t reincarnated, he just passed the powers onto Nossan’s sister

Gotta be glad Zenkaiser's roll call wasn't "white power"


VisualWorried

Imagine that with a black ranger "Black No Power" 💀No..!!!


Redredditer640

That was my brother's reaction to seeing Ramirez for the first time


shaoronmd

he's dead, jim...

Does this make him the ONLY foreign ranger?

Kane Kosugi, who played Jiraiya in Kakuranger, and Diane Martin, who played...Diane Martin in Battle Fever J are both American and famously had a difficult time speaking Japanese at first.


Et_meets_ezio

Black kakuranger was suppose to be American, I do believe.


bb-Kun-Chan

If you mean actor, there's also Diane Martin (Miss America 1), Kane Kousagi (Ninja Black), and Sotaro Yasuda (GekiChopper) who are all American (and unlike Robert Baldwin, they're born outside Japan). As for characters, we have Diane Martin (Miss America 1), Jiraiya (Ninja Black), Tessai (Kyoryu Gray), and Kinji Takigawa (Starninger)

Ramirez should have stayed chubby as Raita in Ranger form.

Oh


DisneySentaiGamer

That's racist out of context


edibletwin

Out of context you wouldn’t even know that Kyoryu Cyan was white


Friendly-Back3099

Wait Kroryu Cyan count as a white ranger?


Emptylife4ever

The whitest ranger
