Kaiju

Kaiju (怪獣, kaijū?) is a Japanese word that literally translates to "strange beast". However, the word Kaiju has been universally translated and defined into English as "monster" or "giant monster" and refers to Science fiction films from Japan featuring unnatural creatures of immense size. Kaiju films usually showcase Kaijus or giant monsters of any form attacking a major Japanese city or squaring off with one another.
