This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Akira Watanabe (渡辺 明, Watanabe Akira), nicknamed Mr. Nabe (ナベさん, Nabe-san), was a Japanese special effects production designer who worked frequently on Toho's tokusatsu films during the Showa era. He is notable for approving and finalizing the designs of popular monsters such as King Ghidorah, Baragon, and Godzilla himself. Watanabe joined Shochiku in 1929, but transferred to Toho in 1941 at the recommendation of special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya, and worked on his first film for the company the following year. He departed from Toho in 1966 after serving as Tsuburaya's production designer on Invasion of Astro-Monster. He co-founded Japanese Special Effects Productions (later Japanese Special Effects Film Co.), with which he became a special effects director in his own right, directing the effects for Nikkatsu's Gappa and the Japanese-American co-production The Green Slime. |
