Overview
Name
Jirahs' name likely comes from Godzilla's Japanese name Gojira (ゴジラ). Jirahs is also known by the English names Jirass[3][5] and Giras.[2]
Development
During the production of the first Ultraman series Eiji Tsuburaya considered Ultraman to face off against Godzilla for episode 10 however due to the shows minimal budget Tsuburaya and his company decided to create an entirely new monster instead. Jirahs' head was the reused Godzilla head from Invasion of Astro-Monster,[3] and Jirahs' body was a diversion of the Godzilla suit used in Mothra vs. Godzilla,[9] with Toho's approval.[3][10][11] The dorsal fins and parts of the suit were sprayed yellow and a large yellow frill was added to disguise the connection of the head with the body.[12]
