The Japan News, the English online version of the Yomiuri Shimbun, has an article on actor Akira Takarada, "Akira Takarada: Godzilla Still a Monster of a Hero."

It starts out with:
For actor Akira Takarada, “Godzilla” is something more than a monster that propelled him to stardom. 
“He’s my great classmate,” said Takarada, 80, who starred in director Ishiro Honda’s ground-breaking 1954 movie “Godzilla,” the film that set the Godzilla franchise in motion. 
“Sixty years after the first film, Godzilla continues to live on as a great hero, and I believe he’ll be with us for decades,” he added. 
Takarada believes the original “Godzilla” movie was accepted around the world because of its strong message. It describes Godzilla as an ancient creature awakened following exposure to radiation from a U.S. hydrogen bomb test.
