Japanese Monster Movies

Beginning with Gojira (Godzilla) in 1954 the kaiju (films with giant monsters) genre began. The movies in the Shōwa period (1954–1975) have a very Classic: Atomic Horror ascetic. 
== Notes ==
* GURPS WWII: Weird War II 's Muspellheim has the Empire of Japan directing kaiju against her enemies. Destroy All Monsters (1968) can provide ideas on how this could turn out.
* GURPS Horror mentions kaiju, not as antagonists, but as obstacles and disasters the PCs must work around.
* King Ghidorah is one of the kaiju closest in appearance to an European Dragon.
