| "Godzilla Creator Dies"
|
| Tomoyuki Tanaka, the father of the Godzilla monster movie
| series, died of a stroke at 86 in Tokyo yesterday [Wednesday, 2
| April 1997], 16 months after his giant lizard-like creation was
| killed off in the final Japanese episode.
|
| Tanaka produced 22 Godzilla films before the much-loved lizard
| met his match at the claws of an equally bizarre creation in
| 1995's _Godzilla versus Destroyer._

(the Jp Godzilla is much more Gorilla-like than the US
lizard-like version.)
