Dr

Dr. Shinzo Mafune (真船信三博士 Mafune Shinzō hakase?) is a mad scientist and one of the main antagonists in the 1975 Toho film, Terror of MechaGodzilla. Mafune is depicted as a brilliant, but tragically insane scientist blinded by his thirst for revenge on the civilization that shunned him.

He was portrayed by the late Akihiko Hirata.

History[]

Terror of MechaGodzilla[]

Many years ago, Mafune was once a brilliant and respected scientist at a prestigious oceanographic center in Japan. Many were intrigued by his plan to create vast undersea ranches. However, his colleagues soon started to question his ethics when he proposed a means to mentally control forms of sea life. During the course of his experiments, Mafune claimed to have discovered a giant dinosaur living under the sea that he named Titanosaurus, which he also claimed to have control over. This claim caused many of Mafune's colleagues to dismiss him as insane and cost him his career as a scientist. Embittered, Mafune retreated to seclusion at his home at Manazuru and continued his experiments with his daughter Katsura, planning to one day take revenge on humanity. Katsura was seriously injured in an accident at Mafune's lab and was saved by a mysterious group of men, who actually turned her into a cyborg. Many years later, a representative of this group of men returned to Mafune and revealed himself as a member of the Black Hole Aliens.

The aliens promised Mafune and his daughter a prosperous life in their new utopian world order in exchange for the assistance of Titanosaurus in their invasion. When Mafune's Gardner learned that katsura went to go see Akira Ichinose, Mafune remind her not to go social with them and was then inform that Interpol was sending another Submarine to search for Titanosaurus. Mafune then learned that while Titanosaurus was trying to destroy the Sub he was hurt by supersonic waves. Katsura believed that Titanosaurus will join the ranks of the disasterous who attack and destroy like King Ghidorah (Showa), Rodan, and Manda. Mafune told her he is not doing this for the Aliens and that he intends to send Titanosaurus to attack Tokyo which he does.

After Katsura was shot, Mafune called off Titanosaurus and broke off his attack from Godzilla. Gradually, Mafune came to realize that the aliens were exploiting his daughter as a means to control MechaGodzilla and became deeply regretful for causing her fate. After Ichinose was captured and brought to see his lab, he reveals to him to be alive, shocking Ichinose and surprised he betray his Humanity and help the aliens' takeover the Earth. He watched as both Titanosaurus and MechaGodzilla destroy Tokyo and overpowered Godzilla. However, Interpol came to the rescue using a Sonic cannon to weaken Titanosaurus and Godzilla to fight back against MechaGodzilla. As Mafune tried to get the Titanosaurus controller working, Ichnoise broke free and strangled Tsuda. When Interpol agents lead by Jiro Murakoshi raided Mafune's lab, the alien leader Mugal alled to him and then used him as a human shield, causing him to be fatally shot in the chest by Murakoshi

Before dying he calls out to Katsura and then dies, paying the price for betraying Humanity, turning his daughter into a cyborg and messing with Nature.
