History

Showa era

Rodan

M24 Chaffee Tanks surrounding Rodan in Fukuoka in Rodan

After Rodan flew out of his nest at Mount Aso and destroyed Saikai Bridge, the monster flew over Fukuoka, with the sonic waves created in its wake tearing apart the buildings below. Rodan landed in Fukuoka and flapped its wings, causing great swathes of the city to be torn to shreds by the supersonic winds. As fires began to erupt from the wreckage, the JSDF began their defence of Fukuoka, but the men and machines that attacked Rodan were simply blown away by the powerful gusts. Just when it seemed things couldn't get worse, the JSDF reported that another Rodan had been spotted heading towards the city, explaining the multiple spread-out sightings of Rodan earlier. The other Rodan landed in the city and the two monsters continued the rampage, effortlessly blowing what remained of the JSDF's resistance away. With the city in ruins and the JSDF's effort in shambles, the two Rodans left Fukuoka and flew back to Mount Aso.

Dogora

Due to Fukuoka's presence as a major port, large amounts of carbon-rich materials such as coal and diamonds were often present in the city. Dogora, a recently-discovered species of alien, consumes carbon as its primary food source, and thus appeared from the sky during a huge thunderstorm to feed on whatever carbon materials it could find. Sucking up massive amounts of coal, Dogora found resistance from the JSDF, but humanity's weapons seemed only to irritate it. Dogora grabbed, lifted and then hurled a bridge at the JSDF before leaving the city in turmoil.

Heisei era

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah

Fukuoka is one of the locations that King Ghidorah goes to after being unleashed by the Futurians. He attacks the city with his Gravity Beams, and then flies past Fukuoka Tower's top floor, shattering the windows.

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla

SpaceGodzilla lands in Fukuoka after imprisoning LittleGodzilla on Baas Island and immediately sets about transforming the city into his new crystal fortress. He places a source of energy into Fukuoka Tower and waits for Godzilla and MOGUERA to arrive. The kaiju and the mecha battle, but Godzilla and MOGUERA are held back from doing any real damage because Fukuoka Tower's energy kept reviving SpaceGodzilla. Deciding to destroy the tower, they then begin to gain the upper hand, and Godzilla is ultimately victorious after destroying SpaceGodzilla with his Red Spiral Ray, although MOGUERA is damaged beyond repair as well.

Gamera the Guardian of the Universe

Gamera approaches the Fukuoka Dome in Gamera the Guardian of the Universe

After being instructed by the government to find a way to capture the giant Gyaos creatures spotted off the coast of Japan, ornithologist Mayumi Nagamine organized a plan to lure the Gyaos to the Fukuoka Dome using helicopters and hunks of raw meat laced with tranquilizers. All three Gyaos were guided to the dome and then descended to feed on the meat. When the roof began to be closed, one Gyaos flew out and escaped, though the other two were subdued and placed in cages. As the Gyaos tried to fly out over the ocean, it was suddenly swatted down by Gamera into a refinery and destroyed. Gamera made his way through Fukuoka and approached the dome. The two Gyaos inside awakened and escaped from their cages by using their sonic beams, then flew out of the dome. Gamera then retracted into his shell and flew into the sky after the Gyaos, leaving the dome and much of the city of Fukuoka badly damaged.
