Godzilla and the Los Angeles Dodgers Team Up For the 2025 Baseball Season

Toho and the Los Angeles Dodgers have partnered on a video featuring Godzilla that will be shown at Dodger Stadium during the 2025 MLB season.

This collaborative video brings together the 2024 Major League Baseball World Series champions and Godzilla, the world's most powerful monster, to raise the voltage at Dodger Stadium to a new high. Featuring Godzilla, the monster's signature roar, and a remix of the iconic "Godzilla" theme composed by Akira Ifukube alongside many of the Los Angeles Dodgers' players, including Japanese stars Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki, the video is played before the players take the field at the top of the game.

The movie premiered at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, March 27 for the home opener between the Dodgers and the Detroit Tigers, and will be played at the stadium before all home games throughout the coming season.

■ Comment from Keiji Ota, Managing Executive Officer and Chief Godzilla Officer (CGO) of Toho Co., Ltd.

We are honored to have this collaboration between the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team that is loved all over the world, and Toho's representative character, Godzilla. We believe that we have created a video that will energize the Los Angeles Dodgers players and excite the spectators who visit Dodger Stadium.

We hope that Japanese fans will also be able to see it in person.

Godzilla previously appeared at 2024's San Francisco Giants Godzilla VIP Experience at Oracle Park. Likewise, Godzilla also made landfall in Los Angeles this week in IDW Publishing's Godzilla vs. America: Los Angeles #1 comic book.
