Figure 1.--The young girl is Kana Onodera playing Sara Yuhara The young girl is a real charmer who helps get her scientist father change his mind about building a mechanical Godzilla--so see can get into the baseball dugout to meet the players. This is a rare departure, most of the important child charactrs in Godzilla films are boys. Here a gurl has a major role. We think these films are more popular with boys than girls. Perhaps Sara and Lieutenant Yashiro will attract more girls. The costuming follows basic fashion trend in Japan the children are dressed like fashions prevalent in Europe and America.

'Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla' (ゴジラ×メカゴジラ) is actually Godzilla vs Mechagodzill III. It was relaeased in Japan as 'Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla' (2002). It was produced and distributed by Toho Studios, it is the 27th film in the Godzilla franchise and the fourth film in the franchise's Millennium period, and Toho's 26th Godzilla film. The film features Godzilla along with an updated version of the mecha character Mechagodzilla who fist appeared in 1974. He is referred to as Kiryu in the film. Toho has no interest in continuity in its films. 'Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla' is a reboot that just ignores the events of every installment in the Godzilla film series except the original classic 1954 'Godzilla'. Toho released a direct sequel, 'Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.' (2003). We finally see an imprtant girl character as well as major woman character in the fighting. Most female characters are locked into the stereotypical mother, girl friend, and wife roles. Here a young woman, maser-cannon technician Lieutenant Akane Yashiro is unable to kill Godzilla, now reffered to as a member of the Godzilla species during her first fight and then knocks a team vehicle down the mountain leading to thhe car and occupants being crushed by Godzilla. She is blamed for the fiasco.
