Kurama's hair is wavy. They're being off on purpose. So, is it in Japanese or dubbed like the '014 Lupin?

This guy apparently got his break in the 2014 Super Sentai ToQger, and since then has been in demand as a heartthrob actor. The latter definitely sounds right for the role.

Kurama has black hair in the manga. I don't see why adapt the anime version instead.

his hair color obviously goes through some changes in the manga:

So Togashi changed it in favor of the anime? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/99/YYK_protagonists.jpg |

I was going to say I don't remember every seeing artwork of him with anything but red hair, and I was pretty deep in the fandom back in the day when it first aired, but I also didn't have access to the manga itself. |

The first image looks like a red outline on his black hair, to match his red outfit. The second image was from the special edition ("kanzenban/ "perfect edition") that was published much later. The special edition had new illustrations, some which showed Kurama with red hair and some with black: https://64.media.tumblr.com/8881ec0ad3f9efc2ffdd8e5f5a05d209/5a523b5513e4f59b-77/s1280x1920/cd38a54b02f4146db9bac62a1afa0f5b0c0d4f10.jpg The special edition's new art was definitely influenced by the anime in the way that it has some images of Kurama with red hair, but I'm fairly certain that manga Kurama always had black hair until that point. |

I've watched Jun Shison on the live action of Gokushufudou produced by Nippon TV, and with the nature of live action/JDrama being over excessive, Shison-san's acting on this series was able to capture Masa's core characteristics. Him being Kurama, I am interested on his portrayal of this beloved character. <3 If executed well, then damn, he is one of the versatile actors that I know
