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.
