When Japanese special effects productions require a BIG monster, they call on a big suit actor like MIZUHO YOSHIDA, best known for portraying the King of the Monsters in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001). Death Ghidorah in Rebirth of Mothra, the Giant Legion in Gamera 2, Dagahra in Rebirth of Mothra II, Cobra in Kamen Rider THE FIRST (2005), Zedus in Gamera The Brave (2008) and the titular alien bounty hunter of the Zeiram film series, among other iconic roles. Straight out of high school, Yoshida was asked to join a live event company and perform stunts and action sequences in superhero shows. This led to his debut as a suit actor in Keita Amemiya’s Future Ninja (1988) known in the USA as Cyber Ninja, as well as a long list of credits in the director’s subsequent films, including Zeiram and Zeiram 2, Android Hakaider (1995) Moon of Tao (1997), and the limited television series Tekkôki Mikazuki (2000). As a member of AAC Stunts, Yoshida often performs opposite veteran action director Akira Ohashi, with the two having battled it out as Godzilla and King Ghidorah in GMK: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack and as Legion and Gamera in Gamera 2. Also together with AAC Stunts, Yoshida has performed as a motion-capture actor for video games, portraying the popular character of “Snake” in the Metal Gear Solid series.
