In this Thursday, May 1, 2014 photo, Kazuya Haraguchi, 45, a technician for film reel, wearing a part of real Godzilla costume he purchased in auction, holds the monster's figure at his apartment in Tokyo. Godzilla-lovers in this nation where the stomping all began say their iconic hero falls into a special phantasmal category called “kaiju,” different from more mundane monsters like King Kong or Frankenstein. And the Hollywood version is no kaiju, said Haraguchi who collects Godzilla goods, including a 100,000 yen ($1,000) complete DVD collection from Toho Studios, which came with a huge fangs-baring Godzilla head.
