Trivia

• Yumi Kameyama was the second known female kaiju suit actor in a film, followed by Rie Ota as Baragon in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack and Naoko Kamio as Minilla and Rodan in Godzilla Final Wars, respectively. Jennie Kaplan had previously portrayed Pigmon in an episode of the television series Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, released only a little over a year prior to Gamera the Guardian of the Universe. Mayumi Aguni, who played the monster Lilliput in the 1991 film Zeiram, would be the first kaiju suit actress, predating them all by several years.
• 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."
