SO LONG, AKIRA TAKARADA...

You shined in Japan's most imaginative  movies: Gojira/Godzilla, King of the Monsters; Godzilla vs Mothra/The Thing; Godzilla vs Queen Mothra; Invasion of Astro-Monster/Monster Zero; Godzilla vs the Sea Monster/Ebirah; King Kong Escapes/King Kong's CounterattackHalf Human/Beastman Snowman; Tales of the UnusualThe Last War; and Latitude Zero.

Your dashing looks and heroic glint sealed your fate as one of Toho's most beloved. For that cause alone, you've achieved immortality. 

Thanks for making my childhood so spectacular, not to mention my entire existence. To a legion of admirers, you were (and are) golden, Mr. Takarada, and your cinematic contributions nothing short of the kaiju cream of the crop.
