It is sad news that we must share the passing of Haruo Nakajima. During WWII, he served as a gunner on a GM4 bomber and later was assigned to Shinyo suicide boats. Fortunately for us, he survived the war and found a new career in film where he was a stuntman and actor in
Kurosawa films. From 1954 to 1972 he was the man in the rubber suit that played Godzilla.
A charming, genial man, he was adored by his American fans in his many
convention appearances here, even as recently as a few weeks ago. He
will be missed, and long remembered. We at American Mishima offer our condolences to his family.
Sayonara Naka-chan.
Sayonara.
