A few hours ago, the Monster Attack Team Facebook Page posted the following:
Rest in peace SFX director Teruyoshi Nakano who passed Jun 27 2022. His explosive work on films: King Kong vs. Godzilla, War of the Gargantuas, Godzilla vs. Smog Monster, Japan Sinks, Prophecies of Nostradamus, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, Return of Godzilla & much more will live on forever
After seeing it, I did some digging in the Japanese media. However, my searches drew blanks. This is not to say that the news is untrue (hopefully it is, for obvious reasons), it is just that the Japanese news media doesn't seem to be reporting it as yet.
Nakano took over special effects duties following the passing of Eiji Tsuburaya and became known as "Mr. Explosion" for his use of special effects pyrotechnics.
I met Mr. Nakano back in 2004 at G-FEST.
