Happy 114th Birthday Eiji Tsuburaya

If you don't know the name then you haven't seen the old Japanese sci-fi movies. Eiji Tsuburaya is a special effects director and co-creator of Godzilla and creator of Ultraman. If it weren't for him, we won't enjoy DaiKaiju(giant monsters) monsters.

His legacy was also not wasted when his grandson, the late Hiroshi Tsuburaya, is more popular during my childhood as the titular role of Uchuu Keiji Shaider(Space Sheriff Shaider). I just learn that it's Eiji-san's birthday today when Google created a doodle today in his honor. It is one of the most coolest doodles since Star Trek and Jules Verne. The doodle shows how to make movies like Eiji Tsuburaya does.
