Synopsis

A fishing boat is attacked at sea by a gigantic, hairy monster. After examining the sole survivor, Kanji Tsuda, scientific adviser Dr. Murakami, played by Shiro Sano, suspects the culprit is a "Keukegen spectre," a shaggy supernatural beast from Japanese folklore. The announcement leads reporter Hideo Akihara, portrayed by Ken Osawa, to a forest shrine dedicated to the Keukegen Geharha, where he finds several worshipers and learns that an ancient seal containing the monster has been broken.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
