Any direct connection would likely be limited to a few lines of dialogue.
"This creature, or one like it, first appeared in Japan in 1954, causing widespread distruction in the downtown Tokyo area."
It would be nice to have the Ogata character tied in, perhaps as one of the last living survivors who directly witnessed Godzilla's original attack? Maybe give him some dialogue alongs the lines of: "The monster was believed to have been destroyed, but regettably the weapon and the man who invented it were both lost in the attack." Takarada's cameo would actually be logical, in that his appearance and lines would help drive the plot instead of just being a wink to us fans.
