Hideki Go taught me what it meant to be human as an Ultraman.

What it meant to truly have humanity for all it's foibles and joy. To be a man, a lover, a brother, a mentor, and to inspire even while carrying the flaws that make a human...a human. Someone who messed up and charged headfirst, but who learned, improved, and always tried to do the right thing.

And Go wouldn't be Go without Jiro Dan.

RIP Jiro Dan. RIP Go. I will carry the 5 Ultra Oaths with me for the rest of my life.

I just heard about Jiro Dan's passing via Twitter & Instagram earlier today. This is a unfortunate loss given that I just finished watching Return of Ultraman on Shout Factory's streaming site a few months back. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Go Hideki on that show, he'll indeed be missed.

RIP Jiro Dan

I wouldn't wish lung cancer on my worst enemies.
My deepest condolences to his friends & family.
