Yoshitaka Tanba
Age: 68 born July 13, 1955
Tanba is a Japanese actor who played Goro Sakurai (Spade Ace), in J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai.
He was originally offered the role of Akarenger in Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, but he refused, as he felt uncomfortable about striking poses in public and lacked a motorcycle license. The producers eventually convinced him to play the role of Spade Ace, as he did not need to pose out of suit, and the character drove a car instead of a bike.
He returned to play Spade Ace in-suit in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.
He maintained a close friendship with Hiroshi Tanaka, who played Daisuke Kujirai in the same series, long after J.A.K.Q. ended.read more
