SO LONG, TADAO TAKASHIMA...


You were an  honorable genre-jumper, but to Toho fans (to kaiju connoisseurs) you were a giant in the acting field.


"King Kong vs Godzilla"; "Frankenstein Conquers the World" ("Frankenstein vs Baragon"); "Son of Godzilla"; "Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II"; and "Atragon" sealed your legendary fate.


You remained earnest and empathetic in your roles: easy to look up to and respect. This added solid credibility to the fantastic scenarios that you visited.


May you reign supreme in all your ethereal adventures, Mr. Takashima, aware that your titanic contributions will continue to delight grateful generations.
