NOTE: I would so love to see Quentin Tarantino take on this genre. After seeing the grindhouse trailer, imagine what he could do with these guys.

This is Inazuman (Lightning Man). He was played by Ban Daisuke of Kikaida, who was also Sadako’s “father” in the Ringu films. He was a moth mutant who had to transorm first into a larval form before he could transform into his full Inazuman persona.
