Godzilla is a fictional giant monster, or kaiju, who first appeared in the 1954 Japanese movie of the same name. Since then has been featured in thirty-nine movies. During his movie career, this large reptile fought against many other mythical monsters, including the giant moth-like Mothra, the three-headed King Ghidorah, his own robotic mirror image Mechagodzilla, and several more enemies. The original Japanese name, Gojira (ゴジラ), is a combination of the words gorira (means gorilla) and kujira (means whale). In countries where the primary language is English, the name has been changed to Godzilla.
