Gamera (ガメラ?) is a giant turtle Kaiju (Giant monster) from a series of popular Giant monster films produced by Daiei Motion Picture Company in Japan. Created in 1965 to rival the success of Toho Studios' Godzilla during the daikaiju boom of the mid-to-late 1960s, Gamera has gained fame and notoriety as a Japanese icon in his own right.
