Gamera

Gamera (ガメラ) is a giant, tusked, flying turtle from a popular series of daikaiju eiga produced by Daiei Motion Picture Company in Japan. Created in 1965 to rival the success of Toho Studios' Godzilla during the "Kaiju Boom" of the mid-to-late 1960s, Gamera has gained fame and notoriety as a Japanese icon in his own right. (Wikipedia)
