Despite being only 34 years old, he was prevented from pitching professionally again. Emoto later went on to write a series of successful tell-all books about his experiences in professional baseball, drawing comparisons to pitcher-turned-author Jim Bouton.

Professor Emeritus of…Akinori Yonezawa (米澤 明憲, Yonezawa Akinori) (born June 17, 1947) is a Japanese computer scientist. Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo. Received Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Currently, a senior fellow at the Chiba Institute of Technology, Software Technology and Artificial Intelligence Research Center. Former member of the Science Council of Japan. Specializes in object-oriented programming languages, distributed computing and information security. From its beginning, he contributed to the promotion and development of object-oriented programming, which is the basis of programming languages most commonly used today (Python, Java, C++, etc.), and served as a program committee member and chairman of the main international conferences OOPSLA and ECOOP. At the same time, he is internationally known as a pioneer of the concepts and models of “concurrent/parallel objects". In software systems constructed based on concurrent/parallel objects, information processing and computation proceed by concurrent/parallel message passing among a large number of objects. Yonezawa's concurrent (parallel) objects are influenced by Actors, the concept of which was proposed by Carl Hewitt at MIT's AI Lab in the early 1970s and later rigorously formulated by Gul Agha. However, concurrent objects and actors are fundamentally different. An actor is an object that does not have a "state," whereas Yonezawa's concurrent (parallel) object can have a persistent state. For this reason, concurrent (parallel) objects are often used in implementing large parallel processing software systems. Large-scale software systems built and put into practical use based on concurrent (parallel) objects include an online virtual world system Second Life, social networking services such as Facebook and X (Twitter), and large-scale molecular dynamics simulation systems such as NAMD.

He is best known for portraying Godzilla in all seven of the Heisei films. Born in Kagoshima Prefecture, Satsuma began his acting career in the 1960s with small roles in samurai films. In 1971 he was offered the role of the smog monster antagonist Hedorah in Godzilla vs. Hedorah, opposite Haruo Nakajima as Godzilla. He went on to play Gigan in two further Godzilla films. When Nakajima retired from the Godzilla role in 1972, substitutes were hired between 1973 and 1975 until Satsuma took over permanently in 1984. His portrayal took the character away from the humor of the character's portrayals over the past decades, returning to the more animalistic Godzilla persona of the original 1954 film. While filming Godzilla movies, Satsuma would regularly pass out on the set due to lack of oxygen while wearing the poorly ventilated and heavy rubber suits. This was especially a problem during the production of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, in which the steam effect on the suit (meant to represent Godzilla undergoing a nuclear meltdown) was achieved using pure carbon dioxide. He also authored books detailing his experiences working on Godzilla movies and Pulgasari (1985). Satsuma opposed CGI versions of Godzilla, and reportedly walked out of a screening of the 1998 American adaptation because he felt that it took the life out of the character. He stated that he actually preferred Pulgasari to the 1998 Godzilla film. Satsuma's final role was in the 2023 film Den Ace Chaos. He died from pneumonia on 16 December 2023, at the age of 76.
