The prerequisite for creating an image of Godzilla was the American film of 1953 "The monster from the depth of 20,000 sages". The film was based on the fantastic story of the writer Ray Bradbury. The picture told about the monster that revived after testing nuclear weapons. Japan, who has not yet left the nuclear attacks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in 1954 again underwent an attack of nuclear weapons when the Americans conducted the next test of the hydrogen bomb. Japanese fishermen, randomly discovered in the test zone, received large doses of radiation.
Events caused public resonance, and soon on the screens of Japan's cinemas came out a film about the monster in a state of anabiosis, but revived and mutating due to military testing.

Among the legends, legends are dominated by huge monsters representing the threat to the life of people. In mythology, such essentially giants appeared through the specific climate of Japan, frequent natural cataclysms.
