Related terms include kaijū eiga (怪獣映画 kaijū eiga?, monster movie), a film featuring giant monsters or a single monster; kaijin (怪人?, referring to roughly humanoid monsters); and daikaiju (大怪獣 daikaijū?, giant kaiju), specifically meaning the larger variety of monsters. Kaiju are typically modeled after conventional animals, insects or mythological creatures such as vampires, werewolves, mummies and zombies, fall into this category. Frankenstein's monster Kaiju are sometimes depicted as cannon fodder serving a greater evil. Some kaiju are elite warriors which serve as the right-hand man to the greater villain and are destroyed by the heroic forces. Others have a neutral alignment, only seeking to destroy buildings and other structures. During the early eras of tokusatsu, "heroic" monsters were rarely seen in daikaiju eiga films, and it was not until later when television tokusatsu productions began using kaiju which aided the hero, saved civilians, or demonstrated some kind of complex personality. These kaiju adopted many classic monster traits, appearing as the "Misunderstood Creature". Some kaiju hung out with the heroes and provided comedy relief, in contrast to the darker approach to these characters
Kaijū (怪獣 kaijū?) is a Japanese word that literally translates to "strange beast"and is used to refer to a genre of tokusatsu (special effects-based) entertainment. Kaiju films usually showcase monsters of any form, usually attacking a major Japanese city or engaging another (or multiple) monster(s) in battle.

"Kaiju" (singular); "Kaijus" (plural)
A term also referring to a powerful & mature Sigma Male. Sigma males are most often coined the "lone wolves" or "tigers"; adopting a mentality of solitude and marching to the beat of their own drum, but only a few with the inner-ambition and fortitude voluntarily undergo a multitude of trials and sacrifices to develop and further evolve into "Kaijus" who are essentially the apex predators living and playing on the fringes of society.
At this stage, they are easily more powerful (either physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, spiritually) than majority of the alpha males, but prefer to use their skills to live life on their own terms independently rather than seek leadership positions, have people depending on them or playing organisational politics for a "title".
As long as they are left in peace, they pose no threat - in fact, they can be very valuable to society. However, if provoked, they are capable enough to take down entire societal hierarchies. When pissed off, a Kaiju unleashes his zeta male or "destroyer/underminer" side.

"Of all the people you could have pissed off... why did it have to be him???"
"What do you mean? He's only just a man. There are 8 of us - if you got my back, we can take him easy."
"That's where you are wrong... he is not just a man. He's a Kaiju."
"I don't know why you're getting so worked up over this - what's a Kaiju?!"
"Ever heard of John Wick, James Bond or that dude from the Transporter movies?"
"Yea, what about them?"
"Well this 'guy' you ticked off... he's like them. You're on your own on this one."

KU (Acronym for Kaiju Universe), is a game consisting of 50+ kaiju (Giant monsters) (Ex. Godzilla 2014). In the game you play as your favourite kaiju and level them up and you can buy other kaiju with a currency you get after you complete missions, damage/kill other kaiju, destroy buildings called "G-cells". I recommend this game to fans of godzilla, king kong, and other giant monsters.

A person, male or female, generally in their teens, who has an obsession over Godzilla/Gamera/Ultraman movies, books, figures, and whatnot relating to Kaiju. They would much like it if you referred to them as "Kaiju Fans", which is what you can also call them.
Kaiju Nerd 1: "Gigan is my favorite Kaiju because he's a cyborg and he originates from Space Hunter Nebula!"
Kaiju Nerd 2: "Well, King Ghidorah also originates from Space Hunter Nebula, has appeared in FAR more movies than Gigan has, and is supposedly Godzilla's greatest foe."
Kaiju Nerd 1: "But King Ghidorah doesn't have a buzzsaw on his chest."
Kaiju Nerd 1: "Did you see the Memorial Box Megalon up on ebay?"
Kaiju Nerd 2: "Yeah, but it was a bootleg."
Kaiju Nerd 1: "No wonder it was so cheap..."
Kaiju Nerd 2: "Well, they have the Bandai Creation "PACK OF DESTRUCTION" at KB toys for only 15 bucks!"
Kaiju Nerd 1: "Man, if only I made that much money..."
Kaiju Nerd 2: "Get a better job...or...sell some of your collection.."
Kaiju Nerd 1: "My god, man! Have you gone mad?!"
**Kaiju Nerd 1 hits Kaiju Nerd 2 over the head with a Godzilla figure**
Kaiju Nerd 2: "Sorry."
