The Kaiju (strange monster) film genre has a number of themes that go well beyond the "big monsters stomping on cities" motif. This examination of kaiju considers the entirety of the genre. The author examines how kaiju has crossed cultures from its original folkloric inspirations and how the genre reflects national values to audiences.
