Yasuaki Shindo

Yasuaki Shindo (played by Yoshio Tsuchiya) was a military officer who, while facing from American forces in 1944, encountered a dinosaur on a deserted island near Japan. The dinosaur defeated the Americans and the Japanese troops escaped unharmed. Ten years later, a nuclear bomb mutated the dinosaur into Godzilla. Decades later, one of those Japanese soldiers, Yasuaki Shindo, has become an immensely successful businessman in Japan's postwar economy. But in a twist of fate, Godzilla, who rescued him so long ago, remembers him and Yasuaki nods slowy and Godzilla waves in the air and kills him with his atomic breath.
