You'll probably recognize him by his stage name - "Godzilla". Yup, he was the guy in the suit.
Got to thinking... what a story that man had to tell at parties, huh? How many people believed him when he told that story? He died in 2017, so he was alive when I visited Japan. Now had I run into him, maybe at a bar, when I was there and he had told me that.... I would have been kind, all while thinking "This guy is completely whacko". IOW... I wouldn't have believed him.. BUT...
That's not what I would have told you guys.... I would have posted here that I met Godzilla.
You can look him up on IMDB.... they have a photo of him standing by his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.... ummmm, but the name on the star is "Godzilla". I don't think he minded that one bit. - JamesJM
