Sometimes lost, I think, in all the discussion of Godzilla and this monster's feature films: the men who wore the various Godzilla suits in the monster king's movies. Talk about Godzilla suit actors in this thread. The discussion of other kaiju suit actors is also encouraged here. All replies welcome. Thread starter: Haruo Nakajima was the first man to don the "Godzilla" suit, in Gojira(1954).

I have decided to make this a "read only" thread. Following Haruo Nakajima another man made his mark in portraying Godzilla: Kenpachiro "Ken" Satsuma. Click the link for more about this man, who wore the Godzilla suit for all the Heisei Godzilla films: http://www.kaijuhq.org/satsuma.html |

In addition to the men who wore the Godzilla suits there is also the matter of the suits themselves. Way back in an early issue of G-Fan magazine this was touched on by Robert Biondi. Here is the article link in which Mr. Biondi chronicles, with accompanying photographs and name descriptions, the various Godzilla suits worn by Haruo Nakajima, Ken Satsuma, and beyond: http://www.historyvortex.org/GodzillaEvolution.html |

now there's numerous godzilla suit actors, most will agree that haru nakajima(hope thats the spelling). is the best, he was the starter, and when it came to getting hurt, he wouldn't quistion, he nearly drown, electricute to death etc. he was the best, he may not have had the heviest suit, but still my point came across i hope. |
