Interviews. Published articles and essays. Podcast appearances. Convention panels. A whole dang book…
You’ll find all this and more below! This page serves as an archive for all GNP press, appearances, and other kaiju-related creative endeavors. From written material (including my upcoming Godzilla history book, piles of magazine articles, and even original fiction) to convention appearances, Blu-ray audio commentaries/special features, and even singing and on-camera/voice acting (did you know I was in a kaiju movie once?)… if it involves the GNP, my work as a kaiju historian, silly nonsense, or all three of those things, you’ll find it here!
Happy exploring!

Defunct Projects
Creative Consultant/Writer/Editor (first three issues) – Kaiju Ramen Magazine
- (Magazine is no longer publishing and website is currently down, meaning web articles are no longer accessible and no digital/physical magazines can be purchased.)
Screenwriter/Copywriter/Marketing Consultant – Erika
- (An animated short film pitched and conceived by Kaiju Kim that tells the story of Godzilla vs. Biollante from Erika Shiragami’s perspective. Sadly, the Kickstarter didn’t reach full funding, but stay tuned… because this project absolutely still has life left in it. More to come! Check out the trailer here (featuring brilliant voiceover from Alyssa Charpentier as Erika), watch Kim, Alyssa, and I chat about it in a livestream here and view the archived Kickstarter here.)
Editor/Historian/Copy Editor – Project: KAYAMA
- (A collaboration with friend/artist Robert Monsarrat to translate Shigeru Kayama’s original 1954 Godzilla novelization into English for the first time. Includes original art, a full biography on Kayama, and more. (You can visit the site here, but the translation has been removed in support of the official version published by the University of Minnesota Press and translated by Dr. Jeffrey Angles.)
