Kansai Spider-Man

One of the shows I like to watch, but do not review, is Maido Jani. I began watching because I was interested in learning more about some of the Kansai Juniors I knew little about and was won over by Kin Kan and Naniwa Oji. I highly recommend the show to anyone who has an interest in the Juniors. Though it is very helpful to at least know a little Japanese to be able to follow along as it can be talk heavy at times.

For the April 24th episode of the show the theme was "hero" and had the guys cosplaying as various popular heroes. Among the characters chosen Spider-Man was one of them. Mukai Koji was the one who got to dress up as the web slinger.

As a comic book fan, especially of Marvel Comics who publish the Spider-Man comics, I was delighted to see two of my loves, idols and comics, combined. I think this is bound to be an episode I will rewatch the most if just for that.

For the others Nagase Ren was Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece), Onishi Ryusei was Pikachu (Pokemon), Nishihata Daigo was Mario (Super Mario Bros.), Hirano Sho was Son Goku (Dragon Ball Z), and Kaneuchi Toma was a Christmas tree (from one of their show music performances in December).


All and all this was a cute episode to watch and I hope this will not be the last time we see them get to cosplay.
