Akira Takarada
Japanese actor.
Died on March 14. He was 87. Toho Studios did not release the cause of death; he had been struggling with a chronic illness and in a wheelchair for his most recent fan greeting appearance.
Born in North Korea.
One of the most recognizable men associated with the original Godzilla series. Appeared in six Godzilla movies.
Besides his film career, Takarada stared in stage productions and did voiceover work.
He did the Japanese dubbing for the 1967 version of Doctor Doolittle, in which he voiced Rex Harrison’s title character.(So I'm counting this as a weird giraffe sighting.)
