The Japanese have a love affair with everything cuddly and cute. They’re the country responsible for Pokemon and Hello Kitty, after all. Then again, they also have a love of all things gigantic and dangerous. These are the people who gave the world Godzilla and his kaiju brethren. So, what can you say about a 23-foot tall fire-breathing robot baby?
Artist Kenji Yanobe, who calls his monster Giant Torayan, has designed something out of my nightmares. It’s a monster, yet it’s so cute it’s hard to put a missile into its face when it goes haywire and starts to kick over buildings and breathe fire into subway trains. It’s like if Skynet made Terminators shaped like puppies!
