I%27ve been trying to find somebody who could give me a one-word or two-word translation of %22king of the giant monsters.%22  Since I can%27t find anybody locally %28indicating that I don%27t know where to look%29 I%27m going to ask for help from the people here.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe translation can be as loose as necessary to fit it in such a small space - I%27d prefer one word%2C if possible.%0D%0A%0D%0APeter Eng%0D%0A--%0D%0AJapanese%3F  I have trouble speaking English before breakfast.
