Although it is still 2018 in the United States, the calendar has already clocked over into 2019 in Japan.
This means that it's New Year's Day in Japan and, also, what would have been Godzilla suit actor and stuntman Haruo Nakajima's 90th birthday. He was born on January 1, 1929.

Nakajima passed away two years ago, but we fans still remember him with great fondness for his years of entertainment and being a frequent guest at fan conventions in the U.S. and around the world.
So, when you raise your glass of champagne tonight to toast the New Year, raise your glass an extra time to toast Haruo Nakajima.
