www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/02/godzilla-gains-japanese-citizenship?utm_source=IGN%20hub%20page&utm_medium=IGN%20(front%20page)&utm_content=8&utm_campaign=BlogrollIt's official: Godzilla is now a resident of Japan.
Specifically of Tokyo's Shinjuku neighborhood, where city officials have drawn up residency papers celebrating the giant lizard's citizenship. 5,000 copies of his residency papers have been printed and are being given to Godzilla fans on a first come, first served basis.
RocketNews reports his papers say the following:
Name: Godzilla
Address: Shinjuku-ku, Kabuki-cho, 1-19-1
Date of birth: April 9, 1954 [the year of the release of the very first Godzilla film]
Date of becoming a Shinjuku resident: April 9, 2015
Reason for special residency: Promoting the entertainment of and watching over the Kabuki-cho neighborhood and drawing visitors from around the globe in the form of the Godzilla head built atop the Shinjuku Toho Building.
Previous visits to Shinjuku Ward: 3 times; Godzilla (1984), Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah(1991), Godzilla 2000 Millennium (1999)
Godzilla was not available for comment at this time, but we imagine he's very, very excited.
A hotel featuring Godzilla-themed decoration also recently opened in his resident neighborhood, including his massive head peering out from over the rooftop and a particularly nightmarish honeymoon suite.
Check out IGN's preview of the upcoming Godzilla the Game for more about giant city-destroying monsters.Dreams DO come true!

I guess they figured that this way they could sue him easier for the property damage

Pretty soon Dracula will be officially a citizen of EU. Who's next? Char Aznable? Never. He's a spacenoid. Sieg Zeon! Maybe Wales could petition Negi Springfield to be an official Welsh citizen.

Astro Boy has citizenship, if I recall, so it's reasonable, given Godzilla's fame. Wonder if Char, as mentioned before, or others might follow suit, like Koji Kabuto, Ultraman, etc.

Who's next? Char Aznable? Dunno about Char, but the original Gundam is still around so Amuro might not take long...

That is like the United States giving citizenship to those Japanese pilots who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I'd like to think the Construction Worker's Lobby got this accomplished. He's been responsible for 97% of their Post WW2 Era work.
