^ Nope. They call him "Gezora."

He's the only monster named in the U.S. version, whereas all three are named in the Japanese version.

I agree that Yog, Monster From Space is actually very good! The very look of the film harkens back to the 60s (though, amid that, some 70s "relevance" starts to creep in a little, but there's nothing wrong with that), the acting is great, the production values are dynamic, even bizarre in spots, and the three monsters (Gezora, Ganime and Kameba [AKA: Kamoeba]) are, IMHO, some of the more imaginative giant monsters featured in Toho SF/Fantasy films besides Godzilla! Akira Ifukube turned up a great score! As evident in that era, Ifukube experiments with "new age" synthesizer music! That really adds to his style.

It's one of my favorite Toho Monster films, and a great close to the genre's "Golden Age" (director Ishirou Honda and FX director Sadamasa Arikawa angrily left Toho for a while because Toho wouldn't let them include a "Dedicated to the Memory of Eiji Tsuburaya" credit at the beginning). And I'm really happy that Media Blasters will release it on DVD!
