#Fact
1He was president of the Tokyo College of Music from 1976 to 1987.
2He grew up on Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island. He was greatly influenced by the indigenous Ainu people, and adapted their improvisational musical style along with those of his favorite Western composers, such as Igor Stravinsky.
3Although he started composing music as a teen, he studied for a career in forestry. Near the end of World War II, he was exposed to radiation during testing of lumber, which forced him to quit forestry work. He then worked towards a career as a composer and music teacher.
4Along with director Ishirô Honda, producer Tomoyuki Tanaka and special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya, Ifukube was one of the four men who would become known as the four fathers of Godzilla.
5He created Godzilla's trademark roar by rubbing a contrabass with a resin-coated leather glove, and then reverberated the sound that was produced. He also created Godzilla's thunderous footsteps by beating a kettle drum with a thick rope knotted at the end.
