Although cave paintings and primitive attempts at film have been discovered depicting kaiju, the first recorded living kaiju was Mightosaurus in 1911. Though somewhat small by modern kaiju standards, its destructive rampage through the streets of Los Angeles provided hours of usable footage for film studios before being slain by aerial attack.
