Koji Uruki

Koji Uruki (宇留木康二 Uruki Kōji),[note 1] also known under the names Koji Uruta (宇留多耕嗣 Uruta Kōji) and Kozo Uruki (宇留木康三 Uruki Kōzō), was a Japanese actor. He joined the Japanese army during World War II and served in Manchuria, then became an actor for Toho after the war. While he received very few credited roles, Uruki acted in numerous films for Toho from the 1950's through 1970's, particularly tokusatsu movies. While the majority of Uruki's roles were background characters such as JSDF officers, he worked as a suit actor in both Matango in 1963 and Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster in 1964. When Toho laid off many of its actors in 1971, Uruki transferred primarily to television and continued to work as a TV actor until the late 1970's. Nothing is known about Uruki's life after this point, including his date of death.
