Geharha: The Dark and Long Haired Monster

Geharha: The Dark and Long Haired Monster (Japanese: 長髪大怪獣ゲハラ, Hepburn: Chōhatsu Daikaijū Gehara, lit. 'Giant Long Haired Monster Geharha') is a 2009 Japanese made-for-television short kaiju film directed by Kiyotaka Taguchi. The film stars Kanji Tsuda, Mark Chinnery, Mina Fujii and Kazuhiro Yoshida as Geharha.

Plot

A gigantic, hairy monster attacks a fishing boat at sea. Dr Murakami suspects that the only survivor of the assault, who has lost all his hair, may be a Keukegen spectre, a shaggy supernatural creature based on Japanese folklore. Hideo Akihara discovers several worshippers and learns that an ancient seal containing the monster has been broken after hearing the announcement at a forest shrine dedicated to the Keukegen Geharha.

While Hideo continues his investigation, Geharha strikes a number of locations in Ishikawa Prefecture, gradually closing in on Kanazawa, the capital. While the Japanese Self Defense Force moves into the city to confront the monster, civilians are evacuated. Geharha's long hair cushions the blows of the armed forces when they attack with tanks and guns. The few wounds that the creature does receive emit a noxious gas that quickly overwhelms the military, forcing the JSDF commander to call for a retreat. A foreign consultant offers a new superweapon to use against Geharha... the Gas Vortical Device "Fujin".
