The Whale God (鯨神, Kujira Gami), alternatively as Killer Whale,[2] is a 1962 Japanese tokusatsu (kaiju) film[3] produced by Daiei Film based on the 1961 Akutagawa Prize winning novel of the same name by Kōichirō Uno. It was presumably inspired by the 1851 novel Moby-Dick by Herman Melville.[4][5][6]
