Shunsuke Takasugi
Shunsuke Takasugi (高杉 俊介, 高杉 俊价, Takasugi Shunsuke, born Naoki Iwata (岩田 直樹, Iwata Naoki); 22 July 1949) is a Japanese former actor and singer who is currently a fugitive. In 2013, he was reported to have taken ¥50 million (about US$ 450,000) from his fans between 2003 and 2012. Takasugi used the influence of his role as Kazuya Oki/Kamen Rider Super-1 to cheat his fans and refused to return the money. He said that this was because "Super-1's henshin belt was taken by the Yakuza and I need money to get it back." This was among various other excuses he used to con money from his fans. He refused to appear in court after he was sued and disappeared sometime in 2017.[2]
