Megumi Odaka
- Actress
Megumi Odaka was born on May 9, 1972 in Kanagawa, Japan. When she was
12 years-old, she jump-started her film career as a voice actress for
children's TV shows in Japan. In addition, with also being a singer,
she released several singles and albums throughout the late 1980s.
After participating in the "Toho Cinderella Contest" in 1989 with
actress Yasuko Sawaguchi, she was cast as psychic girl Miki Saegusa in the
Godzilla film Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989). Impressed with her portrayal of Miki Saegusa,
Toho studios had her return in the remaining 5 Godzilla sequels, thus
becoming the first actor to portray the same character in a Godzilla
film for more than 2 times. To this date, she is the one actor with the
most reoccurring role in the Godzilla film trilogy.
After the Godzilla "Heisei" series ended in 1995, Megumi has pretty much retired from films. However, she has made appearances on stage, including "Peter Pan," "Anne's Love," and "Fiddler on the Roof," and occasionally can be seen participating at Godzilla conventions.
