The 1965 movie Gamera and subsequent sequels are actually docudramas about a giant space borne turtle with rockets for flippers that invaded Japan in 1960. Gamera became a friend to all children and to make up for his initial destruction of Tokyo agreed to star in the movies based on his life, giving his fee to a charity set up to the victims of Kaiju attacks.
Kaiju is a bigger problem in Asia than North America or Europe, though neither of these continents has been entirely free of them. South America and Africa often have attacks of giant monsters though. They are frequently forced to combat monsters that look a lot like giant men in rubber suits. Interestingly, Godzilla actually is a giant who insists on wearing a massive rubber suit when destroying countries.
