About Eiji Tsuburaya
- Eiji Tsuburaya (?? ??, Tsuburaya Eiji) (born Eiichi Tsumuraya (?? ??, Tsumuraya Eiichi); July 7, 1901 – January 25, 1970, in Sukagawa, Fukushima) was a Japanese special effects director responsible for many Japanese science-fiction films and television series, being one of the co-creators for the Godzilla series, as well as the main creator of the Ultra Series.
- During his rise to post-war fame in the wake of Godzilla (1954), many press accounts gave Tsuburaya's birthdate as July 7, which falls on the high day of Tanabata (star festival), a sign of good fortune.
- This is akin to an American saying that he or she was born on the Fourth of July.
- Tsuburaya's actual birthdate of July 10 has been verified by his last surviving son, Akira, and the company Eiji founded, Tsuburaya Productions, as the official entry in the Tsuburaya Family Register, in researching the official English-language biography on this important figure of cinema, Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters, Chronicle Books, 2007.
