Tensou Sentai Goseiger’s Mikiho Niwa Reflects on The Series

Mikiho Niwa reflects on Tensou Sentai Goseiger.


It was my first television audition and my office told me not to feel nervous so I went without knowing what it was about. I realized during the audition that it was for Super Sentai and I remember feeling overwhelmed by the number of people there. I could feel the tension in the air. The character Moune resembled me. We’re bright and straight-foward and we like taking charge. Because of that I was able to act very naturally. Also, since I have cheerleader experience, I got to choreograph the ending and hero show dances. I was very happy that the writers were able to utilize my personality as a person who likes to be in charge beyond just the story aspects of the show.

Also, the action scenes is one of the things I remember the most. My character wears shorts so whenever there’s an explosion or I have to do some movements, I’d get visible wounds when I got hurt. Also, I had to act like I was in pain. I’ve never had to perform those kinds of emotions before so it felt really weird seeing it on TV (laughs). I always feel depressed on set because I’d get yelled at often (laughs). I have been working since I was very young so people have always had to look after me. That’s why I saw the strictness on set as an opportunity to grow as an actress and as a person through Moune.
