Toto (トト is a giant turtle Toto)kaiju created by Kadokawa that first appeared in the 2006 Gamera film, Gamera the Brave.
Isao Kaneko, the director of the special effects team for Gamera the Brave, revealed in 2016 that Toto and the Gamera in 1973 are the same individual; Gamera chose to explode to release internal energy and to rebirth as Toto.[1][2]
Name
Toto's name might come from the English word "tortoise." In-universe, Toto is given his name by Toru after a nickname his late mother used to call him.
History
Heisei Series
Gamera the Brave
Toto first appeared in the movie Gamera the Brave, discovered by a boy who found his egg on an island. The boy took the egg home along with the red gem it was sitting on. The egg hatched into a baby turtle, and surprised the boy's neighbor when he started to fly. He became too big for the boy to take care of in his home, so he was taken to a shed on the shoreline. He disappeared the next day, but he returned to save the boy when Zedus attacked. He battled Zedus and defeated him, but he was captured by the military. Zedus arrived at the location where Toto was being held, and they fought in the city. Toto was thrown into a building and the boy brought him the gem his egg was found on. The gem gave Toto more energy, and he fought Zedus again. He destroyed Zedus' tongue, and he managed to kill him. He said goodbye to the boy and the other children with him, and flew away.
