Shiro Miyasaka (宮坂四郎 Miyasaka Shirō?) is a character in the 1999 Godzilla film Godzilla 2000: Millennium.
History[]
Millennium Series[]
Godzilla 2000: Millennium[]
Shiro was once a close friend and colleague to Yuji Shinoda, but the two parted ways due to conflicting philosophies; Shiro's being that Godzilla must be destroyed (as this was the philosophy of the organization he joined), and Shinoda's being that Godzilla should be studied.
Shiro is first seen in the film while aboard the submarine that discovers the Millennian spacecraft on the ocean floor. After they bring it to the surface, It becomes Shiro's job to study and monitor it, a task he gratefully accepts, on the grounds that it may lead to new energy sources to replace fossil fuels.
When the spacecraft turns hostile, Shiro receives a visit from his old friend Miyasaka,who needs more advanced equipment than what he has available to him, in order to study a sample of Godzilla's tissue. Shiro and Shinoda quickly rekindle their friendship, much to the annoyance of Shiro's superior Tatsuo Katagiri's annoyance. Shiro is present for the discovery of Regenerator G-1. Miyazaki grows greatly distraught when he realizes that the Millennian's rampage is his fault, on account of his having decided to lift up the spacecraft from the bottom of the sea. After Shinoda and his daughter went to go save Yuki who was still in the building, he gave them permission to go inside. Later, when Shinoda was still in the building and Kataigiri was still carrying out his orders to destroy the UFO, Miyasaka tried to stop him but Katagiri still carried out his orders to destroy it. Luckily, Shinoda survived and and he hugged him that he was still alive.
Miyazaki is present for the battle between Godzilla & Orga.
