Your cinematic career was long and prolific, distinguished by the period-piece action classic, "Sengoku Yaro" and the deeply speculative "The Last War". However to Toho kaiju fans, you'll be remembered best for your dazzling roles in Ishiro Honda's monster team-ups, "Mothra vs Godzilla" ("Godzilla vs the Thing"/"Godzilla vs Mothra") and "Ghidorah/Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster" ("The Greatest Battle on Earth"); as well as Masaaki Tezuka's revisionist "Godzilla vs Megaguirus", where you at long last returned to the giant-monster genre to the delight of your many fans.
You were truly a beauty among the beasts, the epitome of style and a graceful talent for the ages. There's no doubt that your charming essence will continue to captivate into the epic hereafter.
