Gamera Alums Gather!

On December 5, I attended another fun event with a couple of Gamera series veterans. The first was Akira Ohashi, the suit actor who played Gamera in Gamera 2 (1996) and Irys in Gamera 3 (1999). 

I first met Ohashi-san just a month ago, so I was surprised that he was returning to another event so quickly. But it was too great an opportunity to pass up!

The other guest on hand was Himawari Ono, a former child actress who appeared in Gamera the Brave (2006). Ono-san is quite fluent in English, so it was a joy to speak with her and to know more about her previous acting career and future ambitions.


 And that's a wrap! It was a wonderful evening with more wonderful people.
