RIP HARUO NAKAJIMA...
Not all fans may know your face, since it was generally hidden, but to those in the know, your presence made Gojira/Godzilla a legend. When not portraying Toho's bread and butter (and you did so from the '54 to '72), you were Baragon; Gaira; the Mogera; Mothra; Rodan; Varan; and even the mighty Kong (in "King Kong Escapes"), to name but a few. Because your portrayals were so beautifully rendered, with all the special nuances that body language can convey, you blessed my life with characters I cherish to this day. I appreciate that with all my heart, Mr. Nakajima. May you rest in peace, as your characters stomp, punch and roar their way into kaiju eternity.
