tokusatsunetwork.com/2018/04/ryoma-baba-suspended-from-agency-for-three-months/Ryouma Baba, who's had various tokusatsu roles (including Blue Buster, Ootaki in Kamen Rider Amazons, and Estevan in the Sharivan revival movie) was suspended from his agency for three months for "activities that broke their trust." The agency publicly stated that he didn't do anything illegal, so it's probably something that they consider to not fit their "image" (usually stuff like drunken behaviour, having a gambling problem, sneaking around sleazy hotels with women/men, etc.) A suspension does not mean he's fired though, unless he does anything else to upset his agency, so he should be back on our screens in the future. Between this and Tsunenori Aoki, who played Ryouma Sengoku in Gaim, being arrested for assaulting two women the Japanese fans are saying the name is cursed and Ryouma Takeuchi (Shinnosuke in Drive) should watch out lol

He was also Ise the ninja in episode 30 of Ninninjer. At least Baba Ryouma hasn't done anything illegal.

It's not stupid. Reputation/image is very important in Japan and if someone at the company does stuff that makes them look bad, they'll lose money. Yuusuke Yamamoto who played Kamen Rider Sasword had to retire a couple of years back because his agency dropped him for inappropriate behaviour; they wouldn't say what but it was obvious, he'd been in the tabloids many times over drinking and womanizing etc
