After work, on Saturday, May 6, I spent a very pleasant evening with tokusatsu pyrotechnician Kazuaki Sekiyama in his office. Sekiyama-san began his career in entertainment with Ultraman Ace (1972-73) and worked consistently in tokusatsu until the mid-1980s. He turned down offers to return to SFX productions for years after that due to his business but made a comeback with Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) and has worked on genre productions ever since.
Sekiyama-san has many incredible stories to share. He's also one heck of a nice guy. I wish all my Saturdays could be this fun!
