I'm using the term as it is used by the fandom not as Del Toro used it when he coopted it for use in Pacific Rim. Shorthand for "Daikaiju" which tranlsates from Japanese to "Giant Monster". It is commonly used within the Kaiju Fandom as an identifying term for giant monsters, Japanese in origin, often with some form of super power, and almost always with a degree of personality beyond the kill and make babies that most monsters in western fiction are locked in.

For the purposes of this fanfic, the Godzilla franchise and Gamera franchise will be the primary source material though I may utilize a bit from other source materials as well, though this is unlikely. I'm debating using the animated series that was based off of the Tristar 1998 failure since Zilla Jr has potential as an interesting character but that remains undecided.
