Kageoh Sugata

He was portrayed by Naoki Tachibana.
==Biography==
While working at Kazamura Konzern, Kageoh was tasked one day with escorting President Kazamura's daughter Suzuko to a charity fundraiser for a school. After performing a shadow puppet show for the children however, Kageoh and Suzuko were abducted by henchmen of the criminal Onitsawa, who sought to hold them for ransom against the company CEO. The two were brought to Onitsawa's hideout and tied up, but managed to escape. As the two were fleeing from Onitsawa and his henchmen, they were knocked onto a power grid and electrocuted. The electrocution triggered rapid cell division within them, granting them both the power to trade places with their shadows and become the superheroes Kagestar and Bellestar. With their new powers, the two defeated Onitsawa and began protecting the city from all sorts of supervillains and criminals.
While initially battling comic book-esque criminals, Kagestar would soon encounter a recurring foe in Dr. Satan, a former Nazi scientist who headed the criminal organization known as the "Satan Empire" and sought world domination.
==Trivia==
*The Kagestar's head inspired the design of the helmet of Mojo Jojo, the main antagonist of The Powerpuff Girls.
