Noboru Tsuburaya (円谷 皐, Tsuburaya Noboru, 5/10/1935 - 6/11/1995) was a Japanese film producer, composer, and the third president of Tsuburaya Productions following his brother Hajime and their father Eiji. He was the second of three sons of Eiji Tsuburaya, becoming president of Tsuburaya Productions after the sudden death of his older brother Hajime in 1973. During his tenure as president from 1973 to 1994, he was perhaps best known for orchestrating a deal with Chaiyo Productions of Thailand leading to their 1974 co-production films "Jumborg Ace and Giant" and "Hanuman and the Seven Ultramen," the latter of which released in Japan in 1979 as "The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. the Monster Army" with new music composed by Noboru under his writing pseudonym Noboru Tani (谷のぼる, Tani Noboru). On June 11, 1995, Noboru Tsuburaya passed away at the age of 60. He is survived by his son Kazuo Tsuburaya, who succeeded him as the fourth president of Tsuburaya Productions.
