1, Mizuno
This Mizuno dosen't mean the family name of Toho vamp actress. It is the family name of a monster man in "The Human Vapor" (1960, Japanese title: Gas ningen dai 1 gou). The actor who played this title role is Mr. Tsuchiya Yoshio as you know. Mr. Tsuchiya played Mizuno again in "Teito taisen" (trans. Imperial Metropolice Wars). Mizuno in "The human Vapor" is altered by a mad scientist, but Mizuno in "Teito taisen" is a scientist.
2, Dr. Tadokoro
In "Tidal Wave" (1973, Japanese title: Noppon Chinbotsu, directed by Moritani Shirou) , a geophysicist Dr. Tadokoro predicted that the Japan Islands would go down under the sea. In after years, another Dr. Tadokoro predictes the volcanic activity in the film "Bugs".
3, RossiricaRossirica - it is the unreal nation in the film "Mothra" (1960, directed by Honda Inoshirou). Of course, this name was synthesized between "Rossija (Russia)" and "America".
