This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Haruo Nakajima (中島 春雄, Nakajima Haruo) was a Japanese actor and stuntman, most famous for playing Godzilla in the character's first 12 films from 1954 to 1972. During that time, he appeared in nearly every one of Toho's science-fiction films, either as a monster, an extra, or both. He retired from suit acting in 1972, several years after the death of Eiji Tsuburaya, who was a close friend of Nakajima as well as the special effects director for most of Toho's kaiju films in the Showa era. In 2010, he published an autobiography titled Monster Life: Haruo Nakajima, the Original Godzilla Actor.[1] He passed away on August 7, 2017, at the age of 88. The 2019 film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, ends with a dedication to him and director Yoshimitsu Banno. |
