  • No, Gorilla is GO-RI-RA, pretty much the same as English - grinagog 20:20:41 06/01/04 (0)

    Written in Katakana phonetics as Gorilla is not a Japanese word
    Suspect the assistants name was something like "Kenji" + GO-RI-RA = Gojira

  Opened my eyes on the whole thing, rubber suite including.
  Very entertaining interview by Terry Gross with a man who wrote a book about the Godzilla movies.
