Tohofield

Though the last few posts continually railed against the Godzilla theory, it's still worth pointing out (nobody else seems to have mentioned it) that the first name used in the Slusho story, Noriko Yoshida, is the writer of a film called Nada Sô Sô (English title Tears For You), released last year by Toho.

Toho is a big company with much more than Gojira on its roster, and Noriko and Yoshida are common enough names. Still, a little something for the Cloverfield conspiracy theorists (or to back the King Ghidorah theory).

Alternately, perhaps it's time for a new angle on the Toho side. The Slusho story tells of a small sea creature becoming a giant sea creature. Noriko Yoshida's father's name is given as Ryouta, which happens to be the name of the lead character in 1966's Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, aka:

Ebirah, Terror of the Deep.

Ebi means shrimp.
