	Actors - Akira Takarada

Akira Takarada was born on April 29, 1934 in Japanese occupied Korea, Akira Takarada rose from the Toho "New Face" program (with Yu Fujiki and Momoko Kochi) to become one of the most recognizable men associated with the original Godzilla series, even though he appeared in only four installments. He began in 1949 with a small role in "When the Liberty Bell Rang" and after several small roles came his big break as navy diver Hideto Ogata in the original Godzilla. He soon became recognizable for his persona as the cocky, slightly cynical urban male and that made him a very successful actor. Today he is still a celebrity in Japan through his appearances in TV dramas, quiz shows and commercials.
