Osaka Castle (大阪城 Ōsakajō?) is a castle in Osaka, Japan. One of Japan's most important buildings due to its role in the unification of the country during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, It was built in the late 1500s, and was in use far into the 19th century. It was gradually rebuilt over the course of the 19th and early-20th century after centuries of neglect, with the keep being restored in 1928, and restorations finishing in 1997. It has appeared in a handful of kaiju productions.
History[]
Showa era[]
Gamera vs. Barugon[]
Barugon fires its rainbow beam next to Osaka Castle in Gamera vs. Barugon
During Barugon's rampage through Osaka, he came very close to the castle and when a few jets attacked, he froze the keep with his freeze breath. A short time later, Barugon unleashed his Rainbow Beam and destroyed most of the long-range missile launchers that were firing at him. Gamera arrived in Osaka and battled Barugon, but was frozen by Barugon's freeze breath. Gamera eventually thawed and flew after Barugon, with his flame jets thawing the castle in the process.
