Gamera (Showa)

==Summary==
In ancient times, a species of flying turtle inhabited the lost continent of Atlantis. One of these would survive into the present, locked within the icecaps of the Arctic Circle: Gamera.
During the Cold War, aircraft equipped with nuclear weapons were crossing over the Arctic. One of them was shot down by the US Air Force, and its nuclear bomb detonated, accidentally awakening Gamera. The monster would wreak havoc one Japan, attacking Tokyo, before a plan to launch him to Mars on a rocket was enacted. However, a stray meteor would destroy the rocket, freeing Gamera, who returned to Earth. Though the giant turtle would come to fight other monsters, and become a protector of Earth; he would fight other kaiju and aliens, and would often defend children during his battles.
