Legendary tokusatsu effects who essentially created Godzilla's atomic breath & Ultramans' Spacium Beam dead at 88.

Iizuka was the last known living crew member from the very first Godzilla film.

The man was a true visionary. Without him, the Tokusatsu genre would be a very different place.

Rest easy, old friend.

First time i've heard about this guy, but he really did contribute to some of the most iconic tokusatsu staples of all time.

RIP.

I know I'm late on this, but this still hurts knowing that everyone who worked on the original Godzilla are gone...

And this is after the passing of Jiro Dan and many other legends...

Rest in Peace indeed. The world of Tokusatsu wouldn't be what it was without you.
