The body wet suit of Dada at Takayama’s Atelier May Thus, Dada could be known as an “okappa-haired alien/kaiju” even among those uninterested in tokusatsu.Īccording to Yamamura, there is a slit or gap slightly shown between each face and the okappa head base fastened with each other by wire.Īs to the body of Dada, a black wet suit was painted with the zebra markings by spraying white paint on it with masking tapes so the black parts could be left as they were. The okappa is a hairdo girls often wore in the past in Japan while the name is probably from the imaginary creature/spook kappa. The kaiju suit actor Tetsuo Yamamura says that it was decided they would simply replace the faces by attaching either of them onto the head base that looked as if wearing an okappa hair style.
