Mothra

Yes, Mothra is a Toho production that became a core part of the Godzilla universe, with the giant moth first facing Godzilla in 1964's Mothra vs. Godzilla. The 1961 original was directed by Ishirō Honda, the same director who created Godzilla in 1954, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya.

The twin priestesses are called the Shobijin, meaning 'little beauties,' and they serve as Mothra's spiritual messengers, communicating with humans through song. They are among the most enduring elements of the Mothra mythology and have appeared in numerous Toho kaiju films across decades.

The film was directed by Ishirō Honda, who directed the original 1954 Godzilla and many other classic Toho kaiju films. The special effects were created by Eiji Tsuburaya, the legendary effects director who later founded Tsuburaya Productions and created the Ultraman television series.

An expedition to the irradiated Infant Island discovers a native culture and two miniature priestesses, who are subsequently kidnapped by a greedy businessman and brought to Japan. Mothra hatches from an egg and, in larval form, rampages across the countryside to rescue the captured priestesses before eventually cocooning and emerging in her adult moth form.
