Underrated Kaiju: King Caesar's Hidden Fame 🦖

King Caesar is a monster that unfortunately doesn’t get a love from either Toho or Godzilla fans. Having only appeared in two films, 1974’s “Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla” and 2004’s “Godzilla Final Wars”, the guardian of Okinawa, has its roots in both Chinese and Japanese mythology. The basis for King Caesar’s design was Shisa, a type of statue that was said to ward off evil spirits. In “Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla”, King Caesar acts similarly as a defender of the Okinawan people against the evil Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens. I’ve always loved King Caesar for a variety of reasons. For starters, the brick-like texture on his skin is a really cool detail and I really dig how his fighting style is closer to martial arts than the usual kaiju hack and slash.
