Gamera (GAMERA)

Miki Takahama who had designed all Gamera incarnations in the Heisei films was in charge of designing this Gamera. Gamera's face closely resembles his 1999 incarnation, with some elements of his original 1965 design, but the rest of his design is largely unique.[5] His body features light brown skin, spikes on his wrists and ankles[6], and a jagged bumpy shell. He has very thick bulky limbs and stands in a much more hunched-over posture than usual. According to director Katsuhito Ishii, this Gamera's design is mostly based on his 2006 design, with some elements of his 1999 design mixed in.[6] Ishii also revealed that Kadokawa originally wanted Gamera's height to be 100 meters, but he later downsized it to 65 meters (later mentioned to possibly be 70 meters instead in an interview[7]) because he felt 100 meters was far too large to stand on the streets of Tokyo. Gamera's arms, legs, tail, and shell are all much larger in proportion to his body than in past designs, due to the full-CGI nature of the design eliminating the physical limitations of actors wearing suits.[7] Gamera also possesses his traditional roar, which was missing in Gamera: The Brave.
