Jun Fukuda

His next features with Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972) and Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) were constrained with the extensive use of stock footage. His last Godzilla film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) was the first of numerous ones to feature the character of Mechagodzilla, which he co-wrote the screenplay for. While he did not particularly enjoy the five Godzilla films he made for Toho, he understood the appreciation the films had in some circles, particularly among children.
