RIP Haruo Nakajima (aka Godzilla)
Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 4:21 am
For those of you not aware, Haruo Nakajima (1929-2017), just passed away at the age of 88. Likely most people do not know who he was, but he was the man who wore the Godzilla suit in the original Godzilla movie in 1954, and in 11 other movies, as well as playing a number of other Toho Studios Kaiju. He is the man who made Godzilla what it was, and left behind one heck of a legacy.

I don't know how many other Godzilla fans are out there on the Forum, but I felt the need to post this, in memorial. A couple memorial picture links, from DA, are listed below.
Rest well Haruo. *Godzilla roar* :*(
