Best Godzilla Bois

Post by LSD Jellyfish »

Figured I'd make the reverse of the "Favorite Godzilla Girls" thread. Just like the women the Godzilla series has had a lot of fun male characters. What are some of your favorites across generations? Here's the short list for me:

Mr. Tako:

Yoshimura from Ebirah Horror of the Deep:

Goro Maki:

And many many more:
Gondo from Godzilla vs. Biollante
Katagiri from Godzilla 2000
Admiral Tachibana from GMK
X from Godzilla Final Wars
Rando Yaguchi from Shin Godzilla

I'll always be partial to Goro Maki. He's just an immensely likeable character.

Steve Martin from Godzilla 1985 always struck me as the wise when it came to dealing with Godzilla given that he saw what the monster can do first hand. He also has respect and even sympathy for Godzilla. Same goes for Professor Hyashida from the same movie.

I also liked the general from Mothra vs Godzilla. He looked the part of a stone-faced military commander and even had a bit of Robert Patrick's T-1000 in his stare.


Let's be honest though, the hardest motherfucker in the entire series is the Saradian Agent. You're minding your own business, then this absolute unit rolls up in his nice-looking car and snipes you with his scoped AK.

Steve Martin, Philippe Roache from Godzilla (1998) and Akira Yuki from Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla are very memorable characters, especially Akira. He is like the Japanese version of my older brother.

And then there is the man himself.....

CAPTAIN DOUGLAS GORDAN!!!

This demi-god descends from the heavens to beat the hell out of the most strongest monsters with his mustache, picking up buildings just by looking at them and can stare at the sun until the sun runs away in fear.

Any role by Akira Takarada is good in my opinion. He did well whether he was a reporter, astronaut, or criminal. His role in G vs TSM is one his more memorable, though.

I also like Akira Kubo as Tetsuo and Kudo from vs Megaguirus. Both are a little goofy, but also smart and save the day.

Oh shit, I missed this thread.

Mark Jackson from Dogora!

Can't find many good pictures, but I'm not surprised. He's an underrated character from an underrated non-Godzilla kaiju flick. Love the guy.

He has such a great dynamic in the film, being a villain and hero. Definitely fun. Great hat too!

I recall the male villains of that film, and actually most of the mafia types in the showa films being a lot of fun.

^ Dogora definitely proves Toho could have made ANY kinds of movie in the 1960s and put a giant monster in it. (Not that I'm complaining.)

Some of my favorite male actors -
Akira Takarada
Akihiko Hirata
Takashi Shimura
Haruo Nakajima
Hiroshi Koizumi
Yoshio Tsuchiya
Tadao Takashima
Kenji Sahara
Jun Tazaki
Yoshibumi Tajima
Yosuke Natsuki
Hideyo Amamoto
