Masaichi Nagata (永田 雅一 Nagata Masaichi) was a Japanese businessman and the president of Daiei from 1947 until the company's bankruptcy in 1971. The self-proclaimed creator of Gamera, he produced the monster's second film Gamera vs. Barugon, with the remainder of the Showa Gamera films produced instead by his son Hidemasa Nagata.
