Visit Charming Toho Kingdom

Japan's Number One Gorigan Man

Oftentimes, when grazing through a thorough and extensive database such as the fantastic Toho Kingdom, the ultimate end-all for all things relating to releases from Japan's Toho Studios, riffling through the familiar (Ikuru, Rodan,Yojimbo, or even Submersion of Japan (Tidal Wave)) does not satisfy as much as plucking out the colorful unknowns like Young Guy vs. Blue Guy, Operation Crazy Mexico, Age of Homicide Mania, or Japan's Number One Sycophant Man, and ultimately becoming fodder for clueless conjecture or another round of a game of your guess is as good as mine. If only Hollywood's product looked a quarter as interesting... Check out Toho's lost projects and original concept art (particularly for The Mysterions).
