Thank you Jissoji-San for all the memories you gave this once young man.
It was with your help that I battled monsters and evil aliens along the side of Ultraman!
Ultraman was my childhood hero and he continues to be a hero to me well into my adulthood.
Words can't describe the positive impact you and Ultraman have had on my love for all things fantastic.
You will be missed,
Rest well my friend,
-Rob Dagg

Earlier this year, Akio Jissoji discussed his Edogawa Rampo films in an excellent interview by
Japan Times writer Mark Shilling:

And SciFi Japan now has a tribute to Mr Jissoji that includes a lengthy overview of his career, quotes from the director about work for Tsuburaya Productions, tons of photos and poster art, info on Jissoji's recent projects and what he was planning for 2007, and a press quote from Hiroko Sakurai:
