Toho Company released "Rodan" December 26, 1956 in Japan but American audiences would have to wait almost 8 months to see it in theatres. In Japan, the monster's name was Radon, short for Pteranodon but changed to Rodan for U.S. audiences since there was a soap by the same name (not because of a deadly gas). George Takei was the first Japanese-American actor to do voice-overs for Toho, claiming in his autobiography this was his first professional gig.
