What is Kaiju Big Battle?
Any American fan of Kaiju has probably heard at some point of Kaiju Big Battel, and a website about Kaiju Toys would never be complete without some information about it. In just a few words, kaiju big battle is the epic fight between two or more kaiju, performed in a wrestling ring in the style of professional Mexican wrestling. However, to truly understand the idea behind it, it is important to know the story behind it.

What´s the legend of the origin of Kaiju Big Battel?
Legend has it that many of the natural disasters caused in the world today are not the result of mother nature, but actually the effects of different kaiju unleashing their fury on the world. Only a small group of humans recognized this, and they created what´s known as the KRC (Kaiju Regulatory Commission). This committee joined together to fight against these kaiju, and ensure that the world was not destroyed.

Years later, celebrity stardom became more and more common in the United States. In the same way that children dreamed of being a famous sports star, actor, or band member, the kaiju themselves decided they wanted to be famous and receive the acclaim they believed was deserved. Of course, they were never going to receive this acclaim, and the result were some very angry kaiju.
The KRC had to think of a plan to keep these kaiju under control, and their solution was to allow the kaiju to fight one another in a controlled setting, thus allowing the monsters to unleash their fury against one another in a safe environment, as opposed to random outbursts against the world. This was called Kaiju Big Battle by the KRC, and became what it is today.

So now when you watch or hear about Kaiju Big Battel, you can feel safe knowing that these monsters are unleashing their fury against one another, and not us poor humans. In the end, the kaiju have received the fame they desired, and the humans get to watch the epic kaiju battles that they enjoy so much.

How did Kaiju Big Battel start (and what´s with the typo)?
The story of Kaiju Big Battel started back in the mid 1990s by a couple of students from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. These students were making a video project about Kaiju, and for the project created the monster Midori no Kaiju, which means big green monster. While the project was never completed, the students decided to create Kaiju Big Battel, which would be a parody of professional wrestling and the kaiju movies in Japan. The idea was to have some of the famous kaiju fighting one another in professional wrestling style. The first battle was performed in 1996, and has increased in popularity ever since.

Legend has it that some t-shirt were made to promote the event, but these t-shirts had a typo, and Kaiju Big Battle was spelled Kaiju Big Battel, which they decided to keep as a permanent spelling.
