 Japan, Godzilla and the Atomic Bomb
During the flight back to Tokyo Tomoyuki Tanaka sat in his seat a worried man. Ordinary looking, having inherited the short stocky build characteristic of many Japanese men, he had just celebrated the passing of his forty-fourth birthday, and was about to celebrate his tenth year as a producer at the Toho Motion Picture Company.
The company’s success with the war film genre was thanks in large part to the efforts of Toho's co-founder Iwao Mori, who was instrumental in developing the studio’s visual effects department.
That night, the citizens of Tokyo celebrate Gojira’s destruction, until the monster appears in Tokyo Bay and wrecks the dock area.
