Toho's version of King Kong image.
Info
Do not confuse with the King Kong Roar from Universal Studios Sound Effects Library, This Sound Effect was created by Hisashi Samonaga and Sadamasa Nishimoto using lion and elephant roars, combined with thunder sounds. It debuted in the 1962 Japanese Monster film King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962). Later would be reused or edited for other kaiju, mostly for Tsuburaya Productions's Ultra Series.
