I got to meet him at G-CON '99; in fact, I was sitting across from him at the alt.movies.monster dinner at TGI Friday's. His daughter was with him and he had a good command of English. He was getting a good laugh at my expense as the server forgot my food and I was letting my beer get warm. He got another good laugh at those awful G '98 toys where you push the mouth open and a bubble gum tongue pops out.
I met him again five years later at Monsterpalooza. He didn't quite remember me, but he was thrilled to be reunited with Jerry Ito.
