A kaiju icon has been reborn!

It's the summer of 1989, and sixth graders Boko, Joe, and Junichi are on their last summer vacation before junior high. Their peaceful everyday lives are shattered when the kaiju Gyaos attacks Tokyo. As the boys are targeted by Gyaos in the ruined city, a new kaiju appears before them. Its name is Gamera. Gamera, though wounded, fights Gyaos. This marks the beginning of the boys' "Kaiju Summer."

The acclaimed new series featuring the beloved giant turtle Gamera, is coming to NHK General TV starting April 5th, airing every Saturday at 11:45 PM.

With a stellar voice cast and the powerful theme songs by WANIMA ("Natsuake" and "FLY & DIVE"), GAMERA -Rebirth- delivers a modern, action-packed adventure that honors Gamera's legacy while forging an exciting new path.

This story will be a new chapter for the beloved character. While it draws on the established character of Gamera and his iconic foe Gyaos, GAMERA -Rebirth- tells a new story within that universe. Rather than directly remaking a specific previous film; It's a re-imagining for a new audience and a new medium.

With a new director, writers, and designers, Gamera watchers will be able to enjoy a fresh vision for the character and world.

Originally a hit on Netflix, this highly anticipated series has been re-edited and expanded into 12 thrilling episodes, offering a fresh perspective on the iconic kaiju.
