   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

   series, numerous "Zatoichi"   
    films, "Buddha", "Birth of the Japanese Islands", and "Sandakan 8". Perhaps
