Shuzaburo Araki
|
Shuzaburo Araki (荒木 秀三郎, sometimes erroneously credited as Hidesaburo Araki, was a Araki Shūzaburō)Japanese optical photographer. The brother of Eiji Tsuburaya's wife Masano, Araki joined J.O. Studios after graduating from business school. During World War II he worked as a cameraman for the Federated News Agency, primarily serving Indonesian paratroopers in New Guinea. By the early 1950s Araki joined J.O.'s successor Toho, where he became part of Tsuburaya's special effects staff, shooting elements for compositing. He worked on a number of Toho's early tokusatsu films, from the original Godzilla in 1954 until The Big Wave in 1961. Araki passed away on February 2, 1961, succumbing to an intracranial hemorrhage at just 48. He was succeeded by Yukio Manoda.
