Daimajin

The Daimajin (大魔神) (or Majin) is a fictional character that appears in a trilogy of tokusatsu movies produced by the Daiei Motion Picture Company. Daimajin is a giant stone idol in the shape of a samurai in full armor, which is possessed by a powerful spirit. In each film the Daimajin is brought to life to save the people of the local community from oppression. When its work is done the unstoppable stone giant becomes an inert statue again.
