Shunsuke Takasugi (高杉 俊介, 高杉 俊价, Takasugi Shunsuke, born Naoki Iwata (岩田 直樹, Iwata Naoki); 22 July 1949) is a Japanese former actor and singer who is currently a fugitive. In 2013, he was reported to have taken ¥50 million (about US$ 450,000) from his fans between 2003 to 2012. Takasugi used the influence of his role as Kazuya Oki/Kamen Rider Super-1 to cheat his fans and refused to return the money. He said that this was because "Super-1's henshin belt was taken by the Yakuza and I need money to get it back." He refused to appear in court after he was sued and disappeared sometime in 2017.[2]
