...honors Eiji Tsuburaya's birthday! He would have been 114 this year. He's best known for being the father of Godzilla and the "men in rubber suits destroying miniature cities" genre [also known as tokusatsu (special effects) or kaiju (monster) movies]. However, Mazda fans should remember him for Ultraman, a futuristic television series about a superhero who drives around in a Mazda Cosmo!
