In 1967 with the release of Son of Godzilla, Arikawa was officially the second individual to bear the title “Director of Special Effects” from Toho. Arikawa likened himself to Minya from that film, looking up to Tsuburaya’s Godzilla-like father figure. After Tsuburaya’s death in 1970, Arikawa decided not to remain at Toho, and left after completing Space Amoeba (1970).
