Kaiju

Kaiju , also sometimes romanized kaijyu and kaizyu, is a Japanese word that literally means "strange beast" and is usually translated as "monster" in English. Traditionally, kaijū can refer to any sort of strange creature, but in recent times the word has become associated with a genre of entertainment, specifically Japanese cinema that involved giant monsters. The most powerful kaiju are at times deliberately referred to as daikaiju , the prefix dai- emphasizing great power or status, and is usually translated as "giant monster."
