It is with heavy hearts that today we must report the unfortunate passing of the legendary actor Akira Takarada...

Takarada was a prominent Japanese actor who played in a number of Godzilla films over the years, from the 1954 original to Godzilla: Final Wars and even a (deleted) scene in Gareth Edwards' Godzilla (2014). He passed away today at age 87.

Rest in peace Akira, you will be missed.

Absolutely a monumental loss to the world. Takarada was the face of the franchise. His joy for the series, its fans and his co-filmmakers will be forever missed.

I hate this so much--For his family, his fans and the franchise, which will never shine quite as bright without his enthusiasm.
