‘Godzilla’ Celebrates 70th Anniversary At Tokyo Film Fest With More Than 40 Affiliated Production Staff Present


'Godzilla' production staff associated with the franchise took to the stage at the Tokyo Film Fest to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the original film.

88-year old Yoshio Suzuki, who worked as an assistant sculptor on the original film, shared his experiences on a panel alongside Oscar-winner Yamazaki Takashi, writer and director of Godzilla Minus One. “My classmate, Yoshio Tsuburaya, told me that his uncle was making a movie called Godzilla and suggested that I try to work on that set. I got a letter of introduction and brought it to Toho Studios, which was not too far from the university campus and met special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya, telling him that I was interested in a part-time job.”
