Gojiban (ゴジばん) is an ongoing multi-segmented Japanese puppet web series co-produced by Toho, AlphaBoat, and Studio Koganemushi which premiered on the Godzilla Channel YouTube channel on August 9, 2019. The series is the result of a Godzilla-based audition campaign held by the collaborative project GEMSTONE and reuses puppets from Koganemushi's 2004 puppet show, Gekigoji.

Plot

Gojiban episodes alternate between Go! Go! Godzilla-kun (Go! Go!ゴジラくん,   Go Go Gojira-kun), in which Godzilla-kun teaches Minilla and Little how to fight, and Attention! Godzilla (かまった！ゴジラ,   Kamatte Gojira), in which Kamatte-kun appears before people in times of need. Each episode ends with Old Man Hedo (ヘドじい,   Hedojī), where a conversation occurs between the titular Old Man Hedo and his grandson as they trek through a seemingly endless wasteland.

An additional segment, titled Ask Jet Jaguar (ジェットジャガーに訊け,   Jetto Jagā ni Kike), was featured in the show's pilot but has yet to make an appearance in the final series. In it, Jet Jaguar answers press questions from a podium at a news conference.
