Asao Kobayashi (Asao Kobayashi)
Date of birth: 16 February 1961 (65 years old)
Country: Japanese
Japanese actor. Well known for his role of Hyō Asao (VulPanther) in Taiyō Sentai Sun Vulcan. On 28 December 1982, less than a year after Sun Vulcan ended, Kobayashi's co-star Kishida Shin (Arashiyama Daizaburō) died of esophageal cancer, aged 43. Asao Kobayashi was so overcome by the shock of Kishida’s sudden death that he took a hiatus from acting and left show business permanently a few years later.
