Godzilla has been rearing its spectacular, sometimes delicious, head a lot during 2019 in celebration of the kaiju kings 65th birthday. Out of the beasts many incarnations this year, supersized, squishy, and even as sake, Chibi Godzilla is by far the cutest!

The little guy, was created especially for the 65th anniversary by Chiharu Sakazaki, famous for designing the Penguin logo for the Suica rail pass in Japan. Her latest brainchild, Chibi Godzilla, has been busy, appearing in books, popcorn commercials, and now as a pair of trainers!
