Today (Wednesday, February 1), I had the distinct privilege of spending the afternoon with suit actor Mizuho Yoshida. It was a great opportunity to chat with him at length about his legendary career bringing monsters to life on the screen.

Yoshida-san portrays Zeiram in both Zeiram (1991) and Zeiram 2 (1994), Legion in Gamera 2 (1996), Death Ghidorah (a.k.a. Desghidorah) in Rebirth of Mothra (1996), Dagahra in Rebirth of Mothra 2 (1997), Godzilla in GMK: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001), and Zedus in Gamera the Brave (2006), among other suit-acting roles.
The chat went a lot longer than I expected, which of course is a good thing! But Yoshida-san couldn't have been any more hospitable. If only more people could be as friendly as he is!
Godzilla may be a monster on the screen, but he's a heck of a nice guy in real life. Many thanks to Yoshida-san for making my afternoon something special!
