I believe that Dr. Quataert should review the romanizations for 怪獣 that are used in this course description. I think kaijyuu would probably be better than either of the ones used here. Just kaiju is clearly wrong, and kaijû is not much better in my opinion (though I guess you could make an argument with Hepburn using circumflexes that, while ambiguous, it is a "correct" romanization.)

Sorry, Free Republic unfortunately is not very friendly toward non-English:

kaijû should read kaijû
