January 1, 2012 will mark a new year and, most importantly, the 83rd birthday of Haruo "Mr. Godzilla" Nakajima.
He was the man in the Godzilla suits starting with the first movie in 1954 to
Godzilla vs. Gigan.

It has been an annual tradition for the past several years to have fans of Mr. Nakajima post their birthday greetings on this blog and I, in turn, will pass them on to him through his daughter Sonoe.
So, starting now, you may post on this blog post's comments section below your birthday greetings to Mr. Nakajima.

Happy birthday, Nakajima-san! Your performances show far more character and complexity than any of the American monsters I've seen. You are an inspiration to us all!
