The Great Buddha Arrival (Japanese: 大仏廻国, Hepburn: Daibutsu Kaikoku) is a 2018 Japanese kaiju film directed by Hiroto Yokokawa.

It is said that Hiroto Yokokawa was introduced by a friend who likes Godzilla about the existence of The Great Buddha Arrival (a friend participates in this work as an art director).[2] In 2016, he contacted Kazuyoshi Fohara, the grandson of Yoshiro Edamasa, and the project started.[2] For the cast, actors who have appeared in Tokusatsu films (such as Godzilla, Gamera) that influenced Yokokawa, such as Akira Takarada and Yukijiro Hotaru, were appointed. There is. Although 80% of the offers were declined, some casts decided to appear because "if Mr. Takarada will appear".[2]

Part of the production cost is raised by Crowdfunding, and when the article was published in Yahoo! News, United States producer Avery Guerra translated the article into English.[2] that the existence of this work became known overseas because of the introduction, and there are also overseas actors (Philip Granger etc.) who decided to appear as a result.[2]
