We are terribly sad to report today that one of Japan’s most beloved classic film actresses, Yuriko Hoshi [星 由里子], has passed at the relatively young age of 74. She will be deeply missed by the tokusatsu fandom, and of course her friends and family.
Hoshi-san is best known to Toho enthusiasts for her roles in two of the Showa era’s finest films, Mothra vs Godzilla and Ghidorah, The Three Headed Monster; though her career was long and prolific outside of these works having starred in almost 100 films over an incredible six decades. She made a return to the Godzilla franchise in 2000’s Godzilla vs Megaguirus, and had made a successful television & film career in her final years. Her final film, Oh’oka Echizen: Shirasu ni Saita Shinjitsu, was released on Japanese television this past year.
星 由里子さんがお亡くなりになりました。残念でたまりません。
