This is the actor's debut role and in his interview with Natalie, he revealed that he watched Special Police Dekaranger growing up. He also revealed that due to COVID-19, he wasn't able to film scenes featuring the other five Kiramagers, but he was able to communicate with them, most notably, Mio Kudo who plays Sayo Oharu/Kiramai Pink as her experience being in tokusatsu for quite a while now helped him a lot.
More on his gear, Kohei revealed that he didn't expect that his character's gear will be this flashy even after the transformation. In addition, he had a difficulty in using his character's primary weapon, the Shiny Breaker, but because it is one of his treasured items, he will practice in using it. Finally, he asked fans to look forward to his debut and that Kiramager's story will be further developed from there. He promised fans that once filming resumes, he will do his best to be better and do his best to deliver smiles and sparkles. Mashin Sentai Kiramager airs every Sunday after Kamen Rider Zero-One.
