For those that don’t know, Kaiju is the Japanese word for giant monster/giant creature. So like Godzilla, King Kong, Gamera etc are giant monsters so Kaiju is the term associated with those films. They are basically campy, special effects loaded movies with people in giant rubber monster suits smashing around little models of cities and buildings.
