King Ghidorah is a big part of the Godzilla lore, and it was fantastic seeing your vision of this character. What was it like for you to bring this character to life in your film?

When Ghidorah made its silver screen debut in “Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster,” it was the first kaiju to appear in Matsumoto City, the same city where I was born and raised. I was very excited to go to the movie theater and see Ghidorah smash up my hometown. But when I got to the theater and saw the film, Ghidorah flies over Matsumoto Castle, and that was it. So I was disappointed.

With “Godzilla Minus One,” I was able to make the movie I wanted to see as a child. King Ghidorah appears in Matsumoto City, which is the same city where I set that scene, and it smashes it up. It’s really a dream come true for me. At the same time, I really love King Ghidorah as a kaiju because the design is amazing.

Sometimes, you just gotta have a dream.
