The King Kong That Appeared in Edo
1938 · 50 mins
A lost film considered one of Japan's first Tokusatsu films. The effects were done by Fuminori Ohashi, who claims to have been a modeling consultant for Godzilla 1954 (this claim is disputed by modeler Eizo Kaimai and art staff member Shinji Hiruma). The film's synopsis published in the March 1938 issue of Kinema Junpo indicates that the "Kong" featured in this film was not actually a giant monster.
Director: Sôya Kumagai
Cast: Eizaburo Matsumoto, Fuminori Ōhashi, Reizaburo Ichikawa, Reiko Mishima, Shojiro Ogata
