Best known for portraying
the lead role in the television series Zone
Fighter (1973), Kazuya Aoyama, born
Mototsugu Takeda, actually led a fairly limited
onscreen career. Aoyama started out as a singer,
releasing several singles back in the early 1970's,
before deciding to become an actor in 1973 with
the series Zone
Fighter. Following his work as Hikari
Sakamori/Zone Fighter, Aoyama was reunited with Jun
Fukuda for his next production, and Godzilla's
20th anniversary film, Godzilla
vs. Mechagodzilla (1974). The actor's
next, and final, big screen appearance occurred
a year later for the 1975 disaster film Conflagration.
