Kenji Ushio was a Japanese actor known for his roles in {{Toku}}, often as villains of the particularly [[EvilIsHammy hammy]] villains. One of his most iconic roles is the boisterous and fearsome Ambassador Hell in ''Series/KamenRider''.
He also happens to be cousins with Creator/MitsuoAndo.
He tragically passed away on September 19, 1993 due to illness.
!!Roles he has appeared as:
* Ambassador Hell in ''Series/KamenRider'', as well as his identical twin Ambassador Darkness in ''Film/KamenRiderZX''.
* Baron Iron Mask in ''Series/JAKQDengekitai [[{{Crossover}} Vs.]] [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGorenger Gorenger]]''.
* Commander Hedder in the first 8 episodes of ''Series/BattleFeverJ'' (an arrest on suspicion of drug possession led him to be recast with Masashi Ishibashi).
* Doctor Q in ''Series/KyodaiKenByclosser''.
* Doruge Piero in ''Manga/ChoujinBarom1''.
* Double Bat in ''Series/SeigiNoSymbolCondorman''.
* Kozo Itachi in ''Series/HenshinNinjaArashi''.
* Saburobee Fukuro / Thunder-Stealth Captor 1 in ''Series/NinjaCaptor''.
* A Crime Boss [[VillainOfTheWeek of the Week]] in ''Series/JAKQDengekitai''.
* Several MonsterOfTheWeek[[note]]Sai Monster, Sound Beast, Yogen Beast and Lovelove[[/note]] in the [[Series/SpaceSheriffGavan Space]] [[Series/SpaceSheriffSharivan Sheriff]] [[Series/SpaceSheriffShaider Trilogy]].
!!Tropes related to him:
* LargeHam: The villains he acts are rarely of the subtle type.
* PlayingAgainstType: While known for his roles as unapologetic and ruthless villains, he plays the heroic Saburobee Fukuro in ''Series/NinjaCaptor''. Which is ironically probably his second-most iconic role, after Ambassador Hell in ''Kamen Rider''.
* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Him being arrested on suspicion of drug possession during ''Series/BattleFeverJ'''s production led to the role of Commander Hedder being recast to avoid controversy. It didn't end his career however, and he would go on to return to the Toku genre in the roles of Ambassador Darkness and Doctor Q.
* SecretlyDying: He was invited to the 32nd Japan [[Main/ScienceFiction SF]] Convention, but suffered an incident related to his illness on the night before he was supposed to appear. Though an aid recommended he stop, Ushio opted to appear anyway while hiding his illness. He would later pass on roughly a month after the convention.
