地球防衛軍
The classic 1954 film "Godzilla" (1954; released in the U.S. in 1956 as "Godzilla, King of the Monsters!") would spawn a series of sequels, adding up to 36 films by 2021. Thirty-two movies have been produced by Toho, and four by the American studios TriStar Pictures and Legendary Pictures. Tanaka produced every Toho monster movie up to his death in 1997. He often worked with the other three members of the Godzilla team: Honda, Tsuburaya, and composer Akira Ifukube, to complete such works as "The Mysterians" (1957) and "Matango" (1963). Tanaka produced six films directed by the acclaimed Akira Kurosawa. Their film "Kagemusha" (1980) was nominated for a Best Foreign Film Oscar and took the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
