'''[[Haruo Nakajima]]''' {{Nihongo|中島春雄|Nakajima Haruo}} was a [[Japan]]ese actor and stuntman, most famous for playing [[Godzilla]] in the character's first twelve 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''.
