The villagers' and reporters' evidence describes damage consistent with something large crushing the village. Odo residents travel to Tokyo to demand disaster relief. That evening, a storm strikes the island, destroying the reporters' helicopter, and Godzilla, briefly seen, destroys 17 homes and kills nine people and 20 of the villagers' livestock. A villager tells one of the reporters that something in the sea is ruining the fishing. Reporters arrive on Odo Island to further investigate. Fishing catches mysteriously drop to zero, blamed by an elder on the ancient sea creature known as " Godzilla". A fishing boat from Odo is also destroyed, with one survivor. When the Japanese freighter Eiko-maru is destroyed near Odo Island, another ship-the Bingo-maru-is sent to investigate, only to meet the same fate with few survivors. Since its release, the film has been regarded as a cinematic achievement and one of the best monster films ever made. The film and Tsuburaya have been largely credited for establishing the template for tokusatsu media. The character Godzilla has since become an international pop culture icon. The film spawned a multimedia franchise, being recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest-running film franchise in history. In 1956, a heavily re-edited "Americanized" version, titled Godzilla, King of the Monsters! was released in the United States. Godzilla was theatrically released in Japan on November 3, 1954, and grossed ¥183,000,000 (equivalent to ¥1,130,160,652 in 2019) during its original theatrical run. Principal photography ran 51 days, and special effects photography ran 71 days. Godzilla pioneered a form of special effects called suitmation, in which a stunt performer wearing a suit interacts with miniature sets. Tsuburaya originally proposed for a giant octopus before the filmmakers decided on a dinosaur-inspired creature. Godzilla entered production after a Japanese-Indonesian co-production collapsed. In the film, Japan's authorities deal with the sudden appearance of a giant monster, whose attacks trigger fears of nuclear holocaust during post-war Japan. The film stars Akira Takarada, Momoko Kōchi, Akihiko Hirata, and Takashi Shimura, with Haruo Nakajima and Katsumi Tezuka as Godzilla. Produced and distributed by Toho Co., Ltd, it is the first film in the Godzilla franchise and the Shōwa era. Godzilla ( Japanese: ゴジラ, Hepburn: Gojira) is a 1954 Japanese kaiju film directed by Ishirō Honda, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya.
