Haruo Nakajima, the Japanese actor, the man in the rubber suit in the first 12 Godzilla films, has died at the age of 88. He was a legend and breathed life into some of the most classic monsters of all time, not to mention the king himself. Godzilla fans around the world mourn who grew up with the creatures of Nakajima.
Born in 1929, Haruo Nakajima was a stuntman and actor signed to Toho Studios and played roles in Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai (1954) and Ishiro Honda's Eagle of the Pacific aka Operation Kamikaze (1953). , before donning the title character's costume for "Godzilla" in 1954. In a video interview for Great Big Story earlier this year, Nakajima says he mimicked for Godzilla the movement of gorillas and elephants he observed at the zoo on his lunch breaks, explaining that since rubber was scarce in post-war Japan, the original Godzilla suit was actually made of concrete and weighed over 100 kg.
The Man Who Was Godzilla
In addition to the giant lizard and a few Kaiju in "Ultraman", Nakajima also played Rodan, Mothra, Gaira, Mogera, Rodan, Meganulon and King Kong. In 1972 he stripped off his suit and retired from the film business, but continued to perform at fan conventions until his death. "In the end, the Godzilla I played stays on film forever," he told Great Big Story. "He sticks in people's memories and I feel really grateful for that." Godzilla has become a monster classic, with three Hollywood films in addition to 29 original Toho films. He was the original kaiju and I'll probably put in some more Godzilla nights this week. The new Shin Godzilla is awesome, by the way. Thanks for all the kaiju! Rest in peace, Nakajima-san. Kaiju fans around the world will remember you forever...

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
