Trivia
- Yumi Kameyama was the first known female kaiju suit actor, followed by Rie Ota as Baragon in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
- According to special effects director Shinji Higuchi, a woman was chosen to portray Super Gyaos because "the shape of a woman's body is different from that of a man's" and "since virtually all of the people who work in the special effects field are men, I thought that I could make it a little easier for women to enter the field by having one play Gyaos."[2]
