Gfantis (ジーファンテス is the Jīfantesu)kaiju mascot of the fanzine G-Fan, as well as its annual G-Fest conventions. He was created by Dave Filoni[3] in 1999, with his backstory developed by Timothy Gagnon and G-Fan editor and publisher J.D. Lees in 2003. Gfantis fiction and comics are regularly featured in G-Fan, and he has starred in several films shot at G-Fest as well.
Name
Gfantis' name, aside from referencing G-Fan itself, evokes "Gigantis," the moniker Godzilla was given when Godzilla Raids Again was released in the United States. Variations on his name include GFantis and G-Fantis. Poster artwork for Gfantis' films render his name in Japanese as Jīfantesu (ジーファンテス), while the Hobby Japan publication Giant Monster Advancement Returns writes it as Jīfantisu (Gファンティス). The latter also provides the erroneous English spelling of GFants.[2]
In G-Fan #43 (January/February 2000), Lees accepted open submissions for the new mascot's name. Gfantis was one of five finalists out of over 200 entries, along with Daragon, Ganora, Kaijugon, and King Kaiju, and the name prevailed in a subsequent readers' poll.[4]
