“Kamen Rider Decade” aired back in 2009 and was the 23rd entry of the “Kamen Rider” series, commemorating the Heisei Kamen Rider 10th Anniversary.
And while it’s been awhile since we have heard from Inoue Masahiro, who played the main role of Kadoya Tsukasa/Kamen Rider Decade and Totani Kimito (who played the role of Kaito Daiki/Kamen Rider Diend), it looks like Inoue has called out his former co-worker on Twitter.
Inoue wrote on December 26th, “I lent Kimito Totani a small amount of money, but I never got the full amount back. Seriously, I’m tired of having to remind the person as a lender every month. I haven’t been contacted”.
Included are screenshots of an exchange from July 6th and how Totani asked for a loan of Y50,000. Totani wrote back on August 10th saying that he would repay Inoue next month but continued to ask if he can borrow an additional Y50,000″.
Inoue replied, “Are you okay? Isn’t it better to find work?”.
戸谷公人に少額のお金貸してたんだけど、全額全然返ってこない。
まーじで、貸してる方から毎月催促するのも疲れた。
もう返さなくていいよ。連絡も入らないから。 pic.twitter.com/MsxGO0tahJ— 井上正大 (@MAAAAAAAASAHIRO) December 27, 2022
As many people shared Inoue’s post, Totani replied, “It feels strange, but the repayment has already been completed. It’s a pity that it’s become like this”.
The screenshot of the transfer screen is attached to emphasize that it has been “repaid”, but the transfer receipt number shows “1227” and the same number sequence as the date on the same day, indicating that the payment was made after Mr. Inoue’s revelation.
Needless to say, Inoue called Totani out saying if he could of paid for it earlier, why didn’t he. And Inoue said that he waited, but if he wasn’t contacted, he would never come. He felt that Toya was being dishonest and so he had to make it public.
いや、なんでさっき返してってラインした時に
「あったら返せるんだけどね、、」って言ったの? https://t.co/nFmfVFpqYm pic.twitter.com/ZCKkiYQCah— 井上正大 (@MAAAAAAAASAHIRO) December 27, 2022
This led to Totani Kimito to issue a statement on Twitter, “Regarding the matter with Inoue Masahiro” and said, “Regarding the personal loan that caused the trouble, I have already paid it off, but I will not be able to split it. It took a long time to pay off the loan, and I apologized to Inoue-san for the inconvenience.

Inoue responded, “no you just returned it”, saying that Totani never apologized.
いや、返したのさっきです。
もう大丈夫です。お騒がせしました。 https://t.co/M9pv9bI0uj

This led to another fellow Kamen Rider actor to react to both men, obviously disgusted by their online exchange.
Matsuda Satoshi who plays the role of Akiyama Ren/Kamen Rider Knight in “Kamen Rider Ryuki” wrote, “As long as you posted the troubled friend’s LINE on Twitter, I think there was an unimaginable suffering. I think that’s true, but I don’t want you to destroy everyone’s dreams with tens of thousands of yen. I want you to never forget that there are people who find the existence of the two of you to be a reason to live. I apologize for the opinion from the outside”.
困ってる友人のLINEを Twitterで晒す以上、俺には到底想像もつかないような苦しみがあったんだと思う。
それはそうなんだと思うんだけど、数万円ことでみんなの夢を壊さないでほしい。2人の存在が生き甲斐だって人がいることを、どんな瞬間も忘れないでほしい。

Realizing that his comment may have been a bit harsh towards Inoue, Matsuda wrote, “The words ‘about tens of thousands of yen’ was inappropriate. very sorry. Also, I know Inoue-kun’s personality, his wonderful humanity. So, I’m not attacking Inoue-kun, I’m lamenting on this “incident”. Of course, it is the fault of the side that forced him to go that far”.
「数万円のことで」という言葉は不適切でした。申し訳ありません。
それと、僕は井上くんの人柄、素晴らしい人間性を知っています。なので、けっして井上くんを攻めているわけではなく、この『出来事』を嘆いています。

Netizens comments on the drama are as follows:
Really… I didn’t want to see riders from the same work involved in a mess like this…
As a result, Mr. Inoue exposed it and Totani repaid it. If it wasn’t exposed, it would have been left alone. It’s a pity that the transfer date for this screenshot was yesterday (the day Mr. Inoue exposed), and Totani didn’t even say “I’m sorry” before saying that it was over.
It’s troublesome. I guess he’s just angry because he borrowed money and didn’t return it.
People who say don’t make it public, that’s what Mr. Inoue is worried about! Don’t say irresponsible things because your ideals have collapsed from one person in front of Kamen Rider.
I didn’t want this exposed. I know how you feel, but is there another way? It’s a minus for each other, there’s no good thing 💦
I want it to be a joke😞
I understand how you feel. Exposing yourself badly will affect your future, so I think you should calm down for a moment.
I am in exactly the same situation where I lent 300,000 yen to a friend and never got it back, so I understand how you feel. When I borrow money, they keep a low profile and say that they really can help me, but they never contact me about repayment.
It would have been nice if you could have apologized honestly, but if you wrote something like, “It’s weird that it turned out to be like this, but it’s a pity,” it would make me even more angry.
To be honest, you shouldn’t post such LINE exchanges between individuals on SNS.
It was a disaster, wasn’t it… 💦 I’ve been watching the both of you and your activities on TV since I was little, so I want you to solve things as soon as possible… 💦
Posting personal correspondence is not a good idea. The two should meet and discuss their problems properly. I know you are busy. It’s not good to do this.
I understand your frustration. But I think this is a little different. It’s Totani’s fault, but couldn’t you have hit the anger in a different way? I think this method is dirty only for those who have influence. Money issue though. I know how painful it feels.
I understand how you feel, but I want you to stop exposing yourself. If you are a TV person, please think about the feelings of the people who were watching you on TV at that time. I don’t want you to mess with Decade or Diend.
