History

Showa era

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

At Shuri University, Yanagawa observed Saeko Kanagusuku while she was deciphering a prophecy that she and Keisuke Shimizu had discovered with a statue of King Caesar. Upon hearing someone else walking over, he hid before another mysterious man similarly inspected the archeologist. In Tokyo, he broke into Professor Wakura's house, holding him and Saeko at gunpoint, demanding that they hand over the statue. Keisuke entered the room and attacked Yanagawa, disarming him, while Saeko ran with the statue; the agent overpowered Keisuke and retreated before Wakura could shoot him. Later, the Black Hole Planet 3 Alien leader Kuronuma gave an order for Yanagawa to retrieve the statue before it could be used to awaken King Caesar. His second attempt at taking the statue occured on the cruise ship Queen Coral, braking into Saeko's cabin and once again being attacked by Keisuke, who was waiting for him this time. Following a brief scuffle, Keisuke grabbed Yanagawa's gun and shot him in the face, revealing most of his true green ape-like face underneath. A distressed Yanagawa grabbed the statue and ran onto the ship's deck, throwing chairs at the pursuing Keisuke. When Keisuke lost sight of the alien, Yanagawa successfully ambushed him and took back his gun. Laughing manaically, Yanagwa held Keisuke at gunpoint and prepared to shoot him, only to be shot from behind by a hidden assailant and fall overboard with the statue. Following Yanagawa's death, it's revealed that the statue he stole was a duplicate and that the person who shot him was the second mysterious man, INTERPOL agent Nanbara.
