| 2 | Machiko Soga (曽我町子) (March 18, 1938-May 7, 2006), known to some as the "Queen of {{Toku}}satsu Villainy", was an actress/voice actress for many years. She's probably best known for being Bandora the Witch/Rita Repulsa in ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger''/''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and the voice of 007 in the 1968 version of ''Manga/Cyborg009''. She debuted in anime as the titular character in ''Manga/LittleGhostQTaro''. In the 70s and 80s, she moved to live action, eventually stacking up a resume rivaling that of Creator/ShozoIizuka. |

(As a tribute, producers used that footage as Rita Repulsa as the Mystic Mother in ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce''.) Her true final role was the FinalBoss (who [[{{Expy}} resembles Bandora/Rita Repulsa)]] in the ''[[Series/MetalHeroes Space Sheriff Spirits]]'' video game for Platform/PlayStation2. |
