    According to this well made video titled Paul Bunyan : America’s Forgotten Kaiju I’d say probably yeah, seems like he fits the bill.

    Well the official song only puts him at 6’3"

    So I’m going to take that to mean that the myth was started by a well versed short king

    Edit, after double checking the Lyrics of Disney’s “Hey Paul”, the line actually says “63 axe handles high”

      Googling the average axe handle length I got 35 inches, which puts him at 183 ft nd 9 inches tall

      If you measure axe handles by girth, that’s still about 6’3"

    Is there not a distinct mythos for giant humans with its own term? If not, Kaiju Bunyan stands, and even if there is, Kaiju Bunyan would manifest as the mirror opposition.

        Giants or Eoten usually, Titan usually has specific context to greek mythos gods who existed before the olympians replaced them.

    No he’s just a French Canadian lumberjack that moved south of the border. Some say his original name was Jos Montferrand and he was originally from Montreal.

    Taking it literally, I am technically a Kaiju, since it means “strange beast.”
