In a recent press conference, Nomura revealed he played the film’s title character.

Nomura does Kyogen, which is a comic style of theatre that is related to, but different from, Noh theatre.

For Resurgence, Nomura was in charge of how Godzilla moved.

As pictured in this AnimeAnime photo, it’s going to hard to unsee how Nomura folds up his arms in Godzilla’s little limbs.
