Trivia
- Kujira Gami was the first Template:Kaiju to be created by Daiei (now Kadokawa).
- Kujira Gami, along with its titular film, are both based on the story of Moby Dick.
- According to a Japanese book about Daiei's giant monster films, at one point the company planned to produce a Gamera film similar to Toho's Destroy All Monsters, featuring Gamera joining forces with several Earth monsters and former enemies of his against an alliance between the Zigrans and the Virasians. One of the Earth defenders said to aid Gamera in this unmade film was a giant whale named Geishin God Gein (鯨神 ゴッドゲイン Geishin Goddo Gein, lit. Whale God God Whalen), sometimes speculated to be Kujira Gami.[1] This whale was to battle a Zigran in New York.[2]
