Shiro Izumi (和泉 史郎, Izumi Shiro) (born on May 6, 1964) is a former Japanese actor, well known for his roles in the Super Sentai franchise. He played 2 different central characters there: Yuuma Oozora/Change Pegasus in Dengeki Sentai Changeman and the role for which he gained the most attention, Burai/Dragon Ranger in Kyoryu Sentai Zyu Ranger. His tenure as Burai was so popular and successful that when his character died in Zyu Ranger, a letter writing campaign was undertaken by fans of the series to have him brought back. While the writers ultimately decided to have Burai remain dead as a way of showing the younger viewers that even heroes die at times, Izumi returned to the role briefly as Burai's ghost toward the end of the series. He guest starred in Ninja Sentai Kaku Ranger and Chōriki Sentai OH Ranger and appeared in the short Super Sentai World (as a photographer). He has retired from acting and has one son. He also has an older brother who was born on July 9, 1961.
