Jirahs^[4]^[7]^[8] (Japanese: ジラース, Hepburn: Jirāsu) is a fictional monster, or kaiju, that first appeared in episode 10 of Tsuburaya Productions' 1966 series Ultraman, where it fought the titular hero and was killed in a duel with him.^[2] It has made a few limited appearances since its debut.

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 an original monster for episode 10; however, due to the show's 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]
