Gamera (ガメラ) is a giant, flying turtle-like creature from a popular series of daikaiju eiga monster movies produced by Daiei Motion Picture Company in Japan. Created in 1965 to rival the success of Toho Studios’ Godzilla during the kaiju boom of the mid-to-late 1960s, Gamera has gained fame and notoriety as a Japanese icon in his own right. Godzilla gets all the glory but Gamera is still one of my favorite kaijus. He is depicted here graphically ‘white on black’ ready to do battle. This would make a great T-shirt you say?
