Akihiko Hirata, reviving his role as Dr. Daisuke Serizawa, next to an old friend.
This looks like an event promoting the original Gojira (1954), which had been re-released in 1982 to celebrate Toho Studios 50th anniversary. However, as my comprehension of the Japanese language, as well as the story behind this photo is nearly non-existent, there is a good probability I am wrong.
I don’t think this event was to announce the production of The Return of Godzilla, as that would not occur until the following year (if the “1983″ on the sign is accurate).
Hirata-san was at the 1984 press conference to publicize The Return of Godzilla, in which he was to portray Professor Hayashida.. Sadly, Hirata-san succumbed to lung cancer before filming began, and the role went to his Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster co-star, Yosuke Netsuke.

Happy 68the Birthday, to the single greatest movie monster of all time, the King of Monsters, Godzilla!
Gojira was released in Japan on this day, all the way back in 1954. Little did they know then, that an absolute legend of cinema was born.
