Hideyo Amamoto, Ghidrah and Godzilla actor, born 1926

Tall, thin Japanese actor Hideyo Amamoto, born January 2, 1926 in Japan, had a lengthy film career that included several Godzilla movies.  His first appearance was an uncredited role in the 1954 film The Garden of Women.  His first appearance in a Godzilla movie was Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster in 1964.  Next he was in Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, then the forgettable All Monsters Attack.

His final role before his death was Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001).  He passed away in March 2003.

"All Monsters Attack" released 1969

Released two years later in the US as Godzilla's Revenge, this piece of crap doesn't even belong with the other Godzilla movies.  All Monsters Attack released December 20, 1969 in Japan follows the exploits as he tries to fit in with the "cool kids" (i.e. hoodlums).  He imagines himself as Godzilla fighting other monsters such as Ebirah, Anguirus and more.  The film contains clips from previous Godzilla movies so his appearance keeps changing throughout.  There are no original Godzilla scenes at all.  The main character is annoying and the movie was obviously geared toward children. 

"Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster" premieres 1966

Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, which premiered December 17, 1966, pits the G-Man against Ebirah, the horror of the deep. Ebirah comes from the Japanese word "ebi" which means shrimp.  So Ebirah means shrimp.

My man Akira Takarada appears as a thief, who gets caught up in a young man's quest to find his long-lost brother. A large condor, Dai-Kondoru, and Mothra both show up as enemies and allies for Godzilla.
