Bakura's actor is Richard Matsumoto, a half Japanese, super energetic spotlight hog. He's grinning up a storm, utterly psyched to be on this side of the con experience and often gives a very enthusiastic wave and shout out to someone in the crowd. Richard is an ascended fanboy, a giant fan of comics from both America and Japan as well as hero shows and movies and rumor has that he got the role as Bakura from a short chain of connections that put his file on the top of the stack. He's got the charisma to make it believable, and the sheer number of people he seems to know backs it up.
While Richard has been in a few small time productions, mostly school and summer stage productions, amature fils and other unpaid positions, Save the Earth is his first big-- and paid! gig and he's loving every second of it. No question is too trivial for him to natter on about and he's gotten himself quite a following on his blog where he posts candid shots and answers any ask, even if not always seriously and often without giving a proper answer.
He brought a stack of business cards with his blog and public contact info and has been handing them out (and signing a few when asked), has posed for tons of photos and has let so very many fangirls play with his hair. It's real! Just bleached.
