This is probably the hardest pill to swallow this year. RIP Nakajima. I've always wanted to meet you at a G-FEST and was hoping you'd attend the 2018 convention. Extremely disheartened to see you go.

This is heartbreaking beyond belief. I know his condition wasn't so good lately, but still I felt he could carry on for a while longer.

R.I.P. Nakajima-san, and thank you for everything you did for us. I'm so disappointed that I didn't get to meet you. :cry:

My childhood hero is gone, this ruined my day. :cry:
Rest in peace, Haruo Nakajima, thank you for all you have done for the kaiju genre, and for giving us the greatest monster of all.
Never forget the Showa Era, R.I.P, Haruo Nakajima 8/7/2017. :g64:

Nakajima's death is the shit cherry on top of a shit sundae today, for me at least.

I feel like watching some Showa films right now.

Rest in Peace, Nakajima-san, and Thank You, for all your work. For someone who's face we never saw onscreen, you affected so many of us, so deeply... :(

It's sad to see Nakajima go. He brought so much to us that it's almost impossible that we wouldn't feel upset over his passing.

RIP Nakajima, for a massive city-destroying monster, you touched our hearts in a special yet effective way.
That fella that still exists for whatever reason.

Didn't he also have minor roles as humans? I could have sworn some guys working for the press arguing about should Godzilla be studied or destroyed, one of them was him.
