Artist & Art Director Robert Kinoshita, died December 9, 2014, in Torrance, California. I'm amazed it took the press this long to report it. Robert created the Robby the Robot design for FORBIDDEN PLANET and for years after, was the goto guy for robots. Born in Los Angeles, California in 1914, Robert grew up to study Architecture at the University of Southern California (USC). Unfortunately, young Robert was a troubled Asian man, and soon ran afoul of U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 - a law against being Japanese or even having a Japanese heritage. Found guilty of being born of Japanese ancestors, Robert had all of his possessions confiscated by the U.S. government and was forced into a government concentration camp with others of his race. After World War II, Robert and his wife moved to Wisconsin, where Robert worked as an industrial designer. But around 1954 Robert returned to California and went to work for Republic Pictures. There he designed Tobor (Robot spelled backwards) for the hit TV series, Captain Video. Tobor was so popular that the empty suit went on to star in Republic Pictures feature film, TOBOR THE GREAT. This movie, about a boy and his giant outerspace robot, would go on to become the inspiration for THE IRON GIANT. Continued at Feo Amante/RIP'n FOR ROBERT KINOSHITA. |
