Creator of the Godzilla suit - Shinichi Wakasa.

Does it Godzilla belong to Traditional Craft Forms? Yes, I would say that Godzilla had been created in the background of Japanese traditional arts and crafts such as Kabuki's stage arts. The body of the first Godzilla of 1954 was made by a chrysanthemum figure maker.
