The birthdays just keep rolling in, don't they?

Happy birthday to the man who was in more Godzilla/Toho sci-fi films than any other actor. From the amnesia suffering Kawamura in Rodan, to the villainous businessman Torahata in Mothra vs. Godzilla to defense minister Takayuki Segawa in the Heisei series-- Sahara is one of the faces of the Godzilla franchise. Proving to be extremely versitile with the many characters he's juggled.

His last Godzilla film was Godzilla Final Wars. His last appearance in the genre was a cameo in the film, Ultraman: The Superior 8 Ultra Brothers. His most recent movie was 2011's comedy, Anywhere in the World. He is 82 years old living in Japan with his wife.

happy birthday to one of the greatest godzilla actors ever. :)

@gman2887,

i found a book from david kalat titled "A critical history and photography of toho's godzilla series. " While also ordering the eiji tsuburaya master of monsters book. :)

I got a brand new one of the david kalat's book for 45 bucks. :)

All together for both of the books the total was 76.45 not bad right? :)

Anyway thank you for your help my friend. :)
