It is used in anime and manga such as "Doraemon", "Tokyo Magnitude 8.0", "Magic Knight Rayearth", "Please Save My Earth", "Cardcaptor Sakura", "Digimon", "Detective Conan", "Sailor Moon", "Tenchi Muyo!" and "Death Note". The tower is also frequently used in the Japanese "kaiju" (giant monster) film genre. It has been the location of numerous battles and visitations by Godzilla, Mothra, Gamera and King Kong ("King Kong Escapes") wherein it is frequently destroyed and rebuilt. Based on the popular manga series by Ryōhei Saigan, the 2005 film "Always Sanchōme no Yūhi" was a nostalgic view of life in the neighborhoods beneath the construction of the Tokyo Tower.
