Koji Uruki (宇留木耕嗣, also known under the names Koji Uruta Uruki Kōji) (宇留多耕嗣 and Kozo Uruki Uruta Kōji) (宇留木康三, was a Uruki Kōzō)Japanese actor. He joined the Japanese army during World War II and served in Manchuria, then became an actor for Toho after the war. While he received very few credited roles, Uruki acted in numerous films for Toho from the 1950's through 1970's, particularly tokusatsu movies. While the majority of Uruki's roles were background characters such as JSDF officers, he worked as a suit actor in both Matango in 1963 and Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster in 1964. In 1965 he changed the spelling of his name (from 宇留木耕嗣), though it was still read the same. When Toho laid off many of its actors in 1971, Uruki transferred primarily to television and continued to work as a TV actor until the late 1970's. Nothing is known about Uruki's life after this point, including his date of death.
