==Personal Life==
*Karahashi was 26 years old when auditioned for Kamen Rider 555. Feeling discouraged as the other participants were younger than him, he considered giving up, thinking he wouldn't succeed. He also considered becoming an advertising artist on the show. However, the production staff reached out to him and invited him to a sushi restaurant in Ginza. After their meeting, it was officially decided that he would join the show.https://youtu.be/wot-JvPG5B0?si=UKbWQAd992t12p6S
