The DougheGoji (ドハゴジ,   Dohagoji) is the Godzilla design used in the 2019 and 2021 films, Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong.

Name

"DougheGoji" (ドハゴジ,   Dohagoji) came into use as an unofficial nickname for the design among Japanese fans, continuing the tradition of naming American Godzilla designs after the directors of their films, following "EmeGoji" for the design used in Roland Emmerich's 1998 film and "GareGoji" for Gareth Edwards' 2014 film design. As such, it combines the name of Michael Dougherty (マイケル・ドハティ,   Maikeru Dohati), director of Godzilla: King of the Monsters and creator of the design, and Godzilla's Japanese name, Gojira (ゴジラ).

Development

When Michael Dougherty was brought onto direct Godzilla: King of the Monsters, he wanted his own unique stamp on the character as previous films and directors had their own vision of Godzilla.

One of the first things he modified, was to alter Godzilla’s dorsal fins to resemble those from the 1954 film. He loved how he spines were sculpted and felt like something nature could’ve crafted. This was done by taking a rendering of Godzilla from the 2014 film, photoshopped them onto the rendering, sent it out to the creature design house and said “It’s this”.

Other than that, Michael gave his rendering of Godzilla bigger and more spaced out claws as a creature of that sized would’ve naturally been a predator. He was also a given a more muscular chest with more noticeable broad shoulders.

When portraying Godzilla, Michael Dougherty didn’t want Godzilla or any of the other monsters to be one-hundred-percent animal.

Detail

The DougheGoji largely resembles its predecessor, the GareGoji, but features differently-shaped dorsal plates based on the 1954 design's, a face with slightly larger eyebrows, a thicker neck, longer legs, sharper claws on the feet with the toes more spread apart from each other, broader shoulders, and a thicker tail with a round tip instead of a pointed tip. While DougheGoji's tail is officially longer than GareGoji's, it appears slightly smaller in proportion to the rest of Godzilla's body.
