  The actress who played Chika in this movie was the  main female dancer in King Kong vs Godzilla ,and was very attractive in this.

  Also worth mentioning Japan has its own abominable snowman/sasquatch/bigfoot. The creature in question is known as Hibagon.

  "Even the abominable snowman is more human than those mountain people" is honestly a terrible moral.

  Why does the snowman look SO much better than their version of Kong?

  Considering how it's very difficult for cult members to leave said cult, abused spouses to leave their abusers or less dramatically, citizens of towns that do not treat them well, I will never give much credit to criticisms such as "why doesn't the village woman just leave this terrible place?" because sedentarism is a very deeply ingrained instinct in most humans, even when their domestic environment is toxic.

  Burakumin aren&apos;t just villagers in inhabitable places, they are specifically kind of like the untouchables of Indian caste systems, as people got discriminated for just being descended from them. It was officially abolished as a status in 1868, but it was still a really sensitive societal problem at the time this film came out (although not so much anymore).<br>The topic of buraku itself is usually considered taboo as a whole, so unfortunately I don&apos;t see this film coming back any time soon

  That child-snowman suit looks awfully like the infamous &quot;Minnesota Iceman&quot; sideshow exhibit that certain cryptozoologists believed was a real Bigfoot.

  The Half Human costume was later repurposed into King Kong.....look at the chest area...it&apos;s 100% identical. The headpiece however is entirely different.

  From the opening sequence, I&apos;d guess Honda saw &quot;THEM.&quot;

  I would be interested in seeing this. I kinda wish they could Re-introduce this character and make him part of the Godzilla universe.
