I don't recall if King Kong was identified as a kaiju or not in the Toho films.

June is also the month that we celebrate the release of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, the first ever kaiju film released in June 1953 (King Kong doesn't meet my taxonomy requirements)
A film that is somehow both pro & anti-nuclear weapons, it features my favorite cop-eating stop-motion monster!

The Beast is a dinosaur, which technically makes them a kaiju too 🦖
