The trilogy of films were all shot simultaneously and released in 1966 with three different directors and predominantly the same crew.[2] The series was produced by Daiei Film and contained similar plot structures involving villages being overthrown by warlords, leading to the villagers attempting to reach out to Daimajin, the great demon god, to save them.[3]
The Daimajin series was revived in 2010 as a television drama titled Daimajin Kanon, broadcast on TV Tokyo.[4] The Daimajin character also appears in the 2021 film The Great Yokai War: Guardians.[5]
Daimajin was originally designed to be the first foe of Gamera, and its concept was feedbacked into both Daimajin and Barugon appeared in the 1966 film Gamera vs. Barugon.[6] The filmmakers were also inspired by the golem appeared in the 1936 Czechoslovakian film Le Golem.[7]
