약력
Kaoru Mabuchi (馬淵 薫 Mabuchi Kaoru), known by the pen name Takeshi Kimura (木村 武 Kimura Takeshi), was a Japanese screenwriter who wrote many of Toho's non-Godzilla tokusatsu films during the Showa era. Unlike his contemporary Shinichi Sekizawa, whose screenplays were noted for their lighthearted and "fun" tone, Mabuchi's screenplays were comparatively more gloomy and contained more political themes. Mabuchi considered his screenplay for Ishiro Honda's Matango to be his best work, and was considerably less enthusiastic about his later work. Kimura passed away on May 3, 1987, due to a throat obstruction.
Wrote screenplays under his birth name Kaoru Mabuchi as well as under his pen name, Takeshi Kimura.

Screenplay
고지라 시리즈에 등장한 괴수들은 물론이고 토호에서 만든 바란 등의 비고지라 계열 단독작품 괴수들도 나오는 올스타전과도 같은 작품이다. 이 작품의 배경은 1999년으로 쇼와 고지라 시리즈 타임라인 상으론 마지막이라고 봐도 무방할 정도의 특징이다. 즉 이때는 메카고지라의 역습의 이후 시점을 다루는 시퀄인 셈. 물론 이미 30년 넘었긴 했지만, 당시 미니어처는 나름대로 나쁘지 않은 수준이다.
