History
Heisei era
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
After defeating King Ghidorah and the Futurians, Godzilla began rampaging through Hokkaido, eventually reaching the city of Sapporo. Godzilla approached the Sapporo TV Tower, only to be confronted by two MBT-MB92 Maser Cannons under the command of the JSDF. As Godzilla charged towards his aggressors, he fell through the street and became trapped, allowing the MBT-MB92s to relentlessly bombard him with Maser beams. Godzilla regained his footing and quickly obliterated the cannons with his atomic breath, then continued his rampage, eventually heading south.
Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla
By 1995, the Sapporo TV Tower had been rebuilt. SpaceGodzilla flew over Sapporo on his way to Fukuoka, causing arcade machines to malfunction.
Gamera 2: Attack of Legion
The Legion had landed outside of Sapporo, and were causing disturbances, notably raiding a nearby brewery.
A short time after moving into the city, Soldier Legion attacked and killed people as they took control of the subways, and later, erected a Plant. The JSDF went about rescuing people trapped in the subways following the Soldier Legion's attacks, and plot to make use of increased oxygen in the area and C-4 explosions to destroy the flower. The attempt to destroy the flower failed, and the situation got only more dire as it was revealed that this flower would produce an explosion that would destroy Sapporo, killing everyone within the city. Luckily, Gamera appeared just in time to stop the flower from launching the pod, destroying the plant before it could detonate with blasts from his plasma fireballs. Brought into a rage, the Soldier Legion swarmed Gamera, attempting to kill him. However, many were attracted to an exposed transformer and killed, allowing Gamera an opportunity to take flight and to return to the ocean, killing the rest of the attackers.
Not long after, the Mother Legion erupted from the ground and flew away.
