Tsuburaya passed away in 1970 but has continued to influence special effects in Hollywood movies.
During World War II he worked as a Japanese propagandist, which made it difficult for him to find work.
He set up his own production company Tsuburaya Visual Effects Research before returning to Toho Tokyo studios, where he had worked before the war, in the early 1950s.
Eiji Tsuburaya worked on more than 250 films during his career.
