Shogo Tomiyama, the former producer of the Godzilla series and President of Toho Pictures, celebrates the 27th anniversary of his 39th birthday today.

Besides being Godzilla's producer and President of Toho pictures, he also wrote a book on his experiences, Managing Godzilla, and used his influence with The Imperial Viking Sal restaurant in the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo to get a slice of cheesecake for yours truly (just kidding!).

Happy Birthday, Mr. Tomiyama!
