Godzilla is a fictional giant monster, or kaiju, who first appeared in the 1954 japanese film 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, is an eponymous Japanese movie reptilian monster that has appeared in 38 movies since 1954.
