   1914: AKIRA IFUKUBE is born in Kushiro, Hokkaido. He provided the   
   scores for twelve Godzilla movies: "Godzilla, King of the Monsters",   
   "King Kong vs. Godzilla", "Godzilla vs. the Thing", "Ghidrah -- the   
   Three-Headed Monster", "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero", "Destroy All   
   Monsters", "Godzilla on Monster Island", "Terror of Mechagodzilla",   
   "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah", "Godzilla vs. Mothra: The Battle for   
   Earth", "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla", and "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah",   
   with his themes included in "Godzilla Fantasia", "Godzilla vs.   
   Biollante", "Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla", "Godzilla 2000", "Godzilla   
   vs. Megaguirus", "Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-   
   Out Attack", “Godzilla: Final Wars”, and the video game "Super   
   Godzilla", as well as "Rodan", "The Mysterians", "Varan the   
   Unbelievable", "Battle in Outer Space", “The Whale God”,   
   "Atragon" (reprised in the "Sazer-X" movie), "The Little Prince and

   Zero", and "Yog -- Monster from Space". His over 200 film scores also   
   include "The End of the Silvery Peak", "The Saga of Anatahan", "The   
   Burmese Harp", Toei's "Musashi Miyamoto" series, numerous "Zatoichi"   
   films, "Buddha", "Birth of the Japanese Islands", and "Sandakan 8".

   Ifukube created Godzilla's trademark roar.
