Production
At the acquirement of
Daiei Film properties from
Tokuma Shoten, Kadokawa president
Kazuo Kuroi (
jp) originally announced to produce a
Daimajin project along with
Godzilla vs. Gamera,
[ZAKZAK, November 13, 2002, 角川大映、「ゴジラvsガメラ」製作へ - 「大魔神」のリメーク版も, FUJI Evening News] which followed
Yasuyoshi Tokuma (
jp)'s attempt to produce a crossover with
Gamera and
Godzilla before his death in 2000,
[Kenichiro Terasawa (Masumi Kaneda), July 15, 2024, 徳間康快社長が平成ガメラ第1作発表会で突然「ゴジラ対ガメラも考えている」といったのは漫画の後書きに関連。, Twitter (X)][Tatsuji Nagano, May 2, 2023, 夢の対決「ゴジラvsガメラ」は実現するか? BS12で、『ゴジラ』『ガメラ』一挙放映, MAG MIX (jp)] however the proposals were eventually turned down by
Toho.
Gamera the Brave was instead produced in 2006, however its box office returns resulted in cancellation of subsequent Gamera productions and a
Daimajin project by
Takashi Miike.
The scrapped
Daimajin film by Miike was eventually redeveloped into
Daimajin Kanon,
while Miike made Daimajin to appear in his 2021 film
, along with
Gamera appeared in its spinoff novel.
In the early stage of production of Daimajin Kanon, Noriaki Yuasa, known for his involvements in various tokusatsu productions especially the Gamera franchise, was appointed for the director of Daimajin Kanon. Other previously appointed staffs include Mamoru Sasaki as the writer, and multiple crews who have participated in Toei Company's Kamen Rider franchise.[Shuntaro Ono, December 28, 2018, Geistesgeschichte of Gamera: From Showa to Heisei, p.207-208, Takanashi Shobou] Yuasa and Sasaki, previously co-participated in various television dramas such as Princess Comet and Okusama wa 18-sai, along with Yoji Hashimoto (jp), once attempted to produce a television series of Daimajin in 1960s, however it was cancelled due to budgetary problem and predictable storyline of the franchise,[Shunichi Karasawa, April 14, 2006, Gamera Genesis: Movie Director Noriaki Yuasa, p.216-217, Enterbrain] where financial situation of Daiei Film was further cornered by producing three Daimajin films in 1966.[Fuminobi Hata, December 12, 2022, 俺はお前を待っていた！Netflixで復活の大怪獣ガメラ、その歩みと新作への期待, IGN Japan]
