Once a sensation, the Gao Rangers that the 90s generation idolized have changed a lot since the show ended.
However, just like the end of the series, after the lively days of youth, the “Gao Rangers” warriors returned to their quiet everyday lives. Let’s see what life is like for 5 “Gao Rangers” now.
1. Red Ranger – Noboru Kaneko
Red symbolizes power, and in Gao Rangers, the character Red Ranger played by Noboru Kaneko is not only the strongest but also the leader of the group. With a friendly face that easily wins the hearts of fans and good acting, he quickly gathered thousands of fans after this show.
The talented actor Noboru Kaneko was born in 1974. After graduating from Nagasaki University, he took on several part-time jobs before moving to Osaka to work.
He realized that he loved acting and began casting in many places.
After the series ended, Noboru acted in many films and television shows but did not achieve much success.
Now over 40, Noboru Kaneko still maintains a handsome appearance and has a happy life with his wife and three children.
2. Yellow Ranger – Kei Horie
With a strong Japanese face and good acting, Kei Horie was entrusted with the role of Yellow Ranger in the Gaorenger series, and he did not disappoint the audience. The series made a significant impact, helping him have a favorable start in his acting career.

Compared to the other members of Gao Rangers, Silver Ranger is perhaps the most successful after the series ended.
Tetsuji Tamayama can be said to be a talented and hardworking actor-model. Apart from modeling for magazines, he frequently appears in films and television with various roles. One of the stepping stones that helped him achieve his current success is his role as Silver Ranger in Gaorenger.

As the most successful among the “Gao Rangers”, he continues his acting career with the dream of becoming an A-list star, participating in many blockbuster films like “BOSS”, “Casshern”, “Norwegian Wood”…
