Godzilla: King of the Monsters Release Commemoration

Godzilla was born in 1954. The man in the Godzilla bodysuit had to fight on many levels.

Haruo Nakajima, "The Faceless Star."

Fighting, against weight of 100 kg (220 lb).
Fighting, against heat of over 60°C (140°F).
Fighting, against the conflict that his face wouldn't be shown.
Fighting, against imagination to play a monster he'd never seen.
Fighting, against himself.

Effort isn't always rewarded. However, praise is earned only by those who keep it up.

Keep Fighting
