Yukijirō Hotaru (螢雪次朗, Hotaru Yukijirō) is a Japanese actor.[1] He is best known for the role of Gonza Kurahashi in the Garo television franchise.
He has played Tsutomu Osako, a recurring role in the Heisei Gamera trilogy, along with the 2003 independent film GAMERA 4-TRUTH (jp), which was permitted by Tokuma Shoten under the condition to be free of charge.[2] His decision to play the character for the Gamera films was prompted by Yukitarō Hotaru's involvement in the 1967 film Gamera vs. Gyaos.[3]
