Actually the Japanese word for Gorilla is,from my understanding Gorilla. They just don't have the characters in their language to spell Gorilla. It is like Mosura is actually Mothra, Kingu Kongu is King Kong. I think the Gorilla, whale story is just nonsense. The name of the monster in Japanese is pretty much Godzilla, they just don't have the letters to spell it. Certainly the ending is LLA not Ra. Once again, I can barely speak English(my native tongue) I know nothing about Japanese.

Excuse me......You want me to do what with my what now?
