Due to problems after KIKAIDER, Daisuke Ban had his stage name changed
to "Naoya Ban" up until the mid-90s.
A month after Shoutarou Ishinomori (the creator of KIKAIDER, INAZUMAN,
etc) passed away in 1998, there was a rumor (mostly on the Internet)
that Daisuke Ban died of a heart attack while having sex with a
prostitute. The rumor, of course, was untrue.
