Yoshimitsu Banno studied at Toho under such directors as Hiromichi Horikawa, Mikio Naruse, Kengo Furusawa and Seiji Maruyama. By 1970 Toho was ready to promote him to full director, and the resulting project, Birth of the Japanese Islands (1970) played at Osaka's Expo 70, attracting record-breaking crowds. Gojira series producer Tomoyuki Tanaka signed him up to help revitalize the series. The result was the famous (or infamous) Gojira vs. Hedora (1971), a passionately avant-garde film which so horrified producer Tanaka that Banno's directorial privileges at Toho were temporarily suspended. He managed to restore his reputation by rewriting and directing second unit for Nosutodoramusu no Daiyogen (1974). He was approached to write and/or direct Gojira movies twice more in the 1970s, but his ideas continued to be too radical for the studio. Eventually he resigned as a director and became an executive in charge of project development, which in recent years has included the highly ambitious JAPAX Project, a 70mm. process meant to compete with the Imax process.- Actor

The collective labors of Fuminori Ohashi are among the most widely recognized, yet mostly Anonymous artistic works of the century. A pioneer of special effects from the dawn of Japanese cinema, his first tasks included the development of a Japanese version of King Kong for the lost film Kingu Kongu Edo ni arawareta (1934) (meaning King Kong Appears in Edo). Much later he helped supervise the development of the suit for the original Gojira (1954), and created lighter-weight materials for the Gojira suit and those of other monsters as colleague Eiji Tsuburaya continued to work on monster movies. Ohashi also served as a technical advisor and designer for the attractions at the original Disneyland, and also worked (uncredited) on developing the makeup materials for Planet of the Apes (1968). Influential yet utterly Anonymous, Ohashi's name is obscure even in his country of origin, and even among historians of special effects cinema techniques.- Producer
