Takeshi Kimura

Japanese screenwriter (1911–1988)

Kaoru Mabuchi , also known by his pen name Takeshi Kimura , was a Japanese screenwriter who wrote many films for Toho studios. Kimura scripted several films for director Ishirō Honda, including Matango, Frankenstein vs. Baragon, The War of the Gargantuas, King Kong Escapes, and Destroy All Monsters.
