Era Showa
A série Showa (昭和シリーズ, Shōwa shirīzu) também conhecida como era Showa e período Showa, é um termo usado para identificar os anos entre 1926 e 1989 sob o reinado do imperador japonês Hirohito da indústria de kaiju, e é o kaiju usual afiliado a esta época. Durante o início desta era, Godzilla era principalmente de natureza antagônica, enfrentando pessoas como Angruirus e Mothra. Após o lançamento de Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster's, Godzilla adotou o que logo se tornaria sua imagem mais famosa: um monstro heróico, lutando contra vilões terríveis com outros monstros ao seu lado.
