Though the character started off in its own stand-alone film, Rodan was later featured in the Godzilla franchise. IGN listed Rodan as #6 on their "Top 10 Japanese Movie Monsters" list,[2] while Complex listed the character as #15 on its "The 15 Most Badass Kaiju Monsters of All Time" list.[3] OverviewNameThe Japanese name Radon is a contraction of Pteranodon. It was changed to Rodan for English-speaking markets in order to avoid confusion with the element radon.[4] However, in Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II, the English version of the film used the original name Radon. DevelopmentAs with Godzilla, writer Ken Kuronuma turned to prehistoric animals for inspiration in developing the character, though unlike the former, whose species is largely left ambiguous, Rodan is explicitly stated to be a kind of Pteranodon.[4] Just as Godzilla was conceived as a symbol of an American nuclear threat, Rodan was seen as an embodiment of the same danger originating from the Soviet Union.[5] Rodan's debut appearance was the first and only time that the character was given a chestnut color. It originally had a menacing face with a jagged, toothed beak, which would disappear in later incarnations as the character became more heroic. Rodan was portrayed via a combination of suitmation and wire-operated puppets for flight sequences. During suitmation sequences, Rodan was portrayed by Haruo Nakajima, who almost drowned when the wires holding the 150 lb. suit above a water tank snapped.[4] In Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, the Rodan suit was of visibly lesser quality than the previous one, having a more comical face, a thick neck which barely concealed the shape of the performer's head within and triangular wings.[8] The modification of the character's face was deliberate, as Rodan was meant to be a slapstick character rather than the tragic villain seen in its film debut.[6] A new suit was constructed for Invasion of Astro-Monster which more closely resembled the first, having more rounded wings and a sleeker face. The sleek face was retained in Destroy All Monsters, though the wings and chest area were crudely designed.[7] Rodan was revived in 1993's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, this time portrayed entirely via a wire-manipulated marionette[8] and hand puppets. Having received criticism for his emphasis on battle sequences relying heavily on beam weapons, special effects artist Koichi Kawakita sought to make the confrontation between Godzilla and Rodan as physical as possible.[9] MonsterVerse (2019–)In 2014, Legendary Pictures announced that they had acquired the rights to Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah from Toho to use in their MonsterVerse.[10] Rodan appears in a post-credits scene of Skull Island. It is in the depicting cave paintings showing him, Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Godzilla in the footage that is shown to James Conrad and Mason Weaver.[11] A casting call confirmed that Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah will be featured in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.[12] Viral marketing describes him as a titanic kaiju with the skeletal structure of a Pteranodon and magma-like skin serving as plate armor. The film's promotional website, Monarch Sciences, identifies the fictional island of Isla de Mara off the eastern coast of Mexico as Rodan's location and describes him as being {{convert|154|ft|m|2|abbr=on}} tall with a wingspan of {{convert|871|ft|m|2|abbr=on}}, making it the shortest version of the character, yet also the one with the greatest wingspan. It is also stated to be powerful enough to level cities with thunderclaps generated by its wings.[13][14] RoarThe character's shriek was created by sound technician Ichiro Minawa, who sought to replicate the "contrabass technique" composer Akira Ifukube used for Godzilla, though layering it with a sped up human voice.[15] The sound would be remixed and reused for several other Toho monsters, including the second incarnation of King Ghidorah[16] and Battra.[17] AppearancesA post-credits scene in Skull Island depicting cave paintings of Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah introduces the characters (except for Godzilla) into the MonsterVerse.
