In 2002, a group of teenagers disturbed Mothra's shrine after robbing a convenience store near Lake Ikeda. The warriors prayed for Mothra's soul, in the hope that she and the other guardian monsters, Baragon and King Ghidorah, would rise again one day to defend Japan. Ages ago, noble Japanese warriors slew Mothra and laid her to rest under Lake Ikeda. Mothra was a legendary beast from ancient Japan and was known as the God of the Sea. Mothra Imago in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack However, Mothra does appear to show some regard for humanity, as seen when she seemingly sacrifices herself to save several JSDF battleships from Godzilla's atomic breath. Mothra and the Guardian Monsters are not so much concerned with defending the people of Japan as they are the natural land, shown when Mothra kills a group of teenagers who disturb her shrine at Lake Ikeda. This incarnation of Mothra is one of the Guardian Monsters, who are concerned with defending Japan from any threats. This Mothra has a long and curved thorax, which it can aim to fire stingers. The wings are very sharp and pointed, with purple, orange and yellow designs on them. This Mothra has purple eyes instead of blue eyes, long slanted feathery antennae, and extremely long legs with sharp claws it can use to attach itself to Godzilla's head. The GMK Mothra's imago stage is very different from previous incarnations, looking almost like a cross between a moth and a hornet. This larva's mandibles are also slightly smaller, and its face is very wrinkly. The GMK Mothra's larval form resembles the larval forms of previous incarnations, only with slightly darker skin and deeper and more pronounced eye sockets. Despite her greatly changed design, the advance poster for Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack portrayed both Mothra's larval and imago stages with their Heisei designs.īehind the scenes of Mothra's battle with Godzilla in Yokohama The prop for Mothra's imago stage was modeled by Fuyuki Shinada, who also modeled the suits for all three of the other monsters. Mothra's purple eyes and white feather-shaped antennae were designed with the intention of giving her a feminine appearance. Mothra's body proportions became more anatomically accurate for an insect, resembling a bee or hornet more than a moth, with long legs and a curved stinger-tipped abdomen. Her eyes were changed to purple instead of blue, and her wings incorporated the colors of purple, orange, and yellow. Her body was made slim and streamlined with her white fur greatly reduced. Mothra's imago stage however was considerably altered, becoming the most drastic change to her design up to that point. The design of Mothra's larval stage, seen only very briefly in the film, was left mostly unchanged from past depictions, and was portrayed in the film with a refurbished Mothra Leo larva prop from Rebirth of Mothra. Her larval stage was also scaled to be the shortest yet at 30 meters in length. As such, Mothra was scaled down to possess a wingspan of only 75 meters and a body length of just 24 meters in her imago stage. While in the past her imago stage was typically portrayed as larger than Godzilla, Kaneko's vision required three monsters each smaller and weaker than Godzilla. Kaneko eventually complied with Toho's wishes after learning that many people were unfamiliar with the monsters he chose, and replaced Varan and Anguirus with Mothra and King Ghidorah while retaining Baragon. Kaneko's story, Godzilla X Varan, Baragon and Anguirus: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, was approved by producer Shogo Tomiyama and pitched to Toho, who requested that Kaneko work the more popular monsters Mothra and King Ghidorah into the film. Concept art of all four monsters from GMK, showing their dimensions relative to each other.ĭirector Shusuke Kaneko decided that his Godzilla film would involve Godzilla battling against three Guardian Monsters, for which he chose Varan, Baragon, and Anguirus to fill the role of Godzilla's foes.

Asia-Pacific’s $12 billion energy drink market is growing 7.5% a year. The real growth opportunity in energy drinks is outside Thailand, where the craze for tiny bottles of liquid energy has created what California-based Grand View Research estimates is a $50 billion global market that will grow to $84 billion by 2025. So while Osotspa’s domestic sales are rising, growing competition from the likes of TC Pharma’s Red Bull and Carabao Tawandang has whittled its share of the overall market to roughly 55% in 2017 from 60% in 2013. market research firm Zenith International estimates, four times the average per-capita consumption in North America.Įnergy drinks account for 74% of Osotspa’s overall revenues, and while Thailand’s robust economic growth augurs well for energy-drink demand, Frost & Sullivan estimates the market is growing at only about 2% a year. The average Thai drinks at least 11 liters of energy drinks a year, U.K. Combined with its other brands of energy drinks-Chalarm, Lipovitan-D (Taisho’s original) and Som in Sum-Osotspa controls a roughly 54% share (by sales) of a $720 million market, according to research firm Frost & Sullivan. Shark Bite is targeted at white-collar workers. For younger men, Osotspa offers M-Storm, an energy drink enhanced with D-ribose, a sugar normally produced in the body and also used to enhance performance. M-150 is most popular among male blue-collar workers 30 and above. While Red Bull (known in Thailand as Krating Daeng) was launched nine years before and has since become recognizable worldwide, M-150 dominates the Thai market with what Osotspa claims is a 39% share. More on Forbes: Thailand's Richest 2019: A Window Of Opportunity For The Thai Economy In 1965, Petch’s father Surat licensed an energy tonic, Lipovitan-D, from Japan’s Taisho Pharmaceutical and in 1985 launched his own version, M-150-the “M” for magnum revolver cartridges and the 150 for its 150ml bottle-labelled with a sheriff’s badge and chocked full of herbs, vitamins, sugar and caffeine. Today, Osotspa’s personal-care division, with baby-care and women’s beauty-care products, is a market leader, with 35% of the market for liquid baby soap and 24% of the market for infant talcum powder.Įnergy drinks, though, became Osotspa’s mainstay. Osotspa expanded into an increasingly long list of healthcare and personal products. Teck Heng Yoo was renamed Osotspa, or “medicine organization,” after World War II. After one of their elixirs helped end an outbreak of dysentery among his army, Thailand’s King Vaijiravudh bestowed a new name on the family: Osathanugrah, or “provider of medicine” in Thai. Chinese immigrants, they opened the Teck Heng Yoo pharmacy in Bangkok’s Chinatown selling traditional herbal remedies. Petch’s great-grandparents started what would become Osotspa in 1891. “I wanted it to be more professional, more organized.” Since the family bought the site in 1995 on what was then the city’s outskirts, bustling Bangkok has engulfed it. “I didn’t want the company to be a family business,” Petch says during an interview in his high-rise office at Osotspa’s sprawling headquarters. He also laid off a quarter of Osotspa’s employees and recruited experienced professional managers from international firms such as Unilever. After taking the reins of Osotspa in 2015, Petch led a sweeping reorganization that trimmed Osotspa’s exceedingly diverse line of health items and pharmaceuticals, refocusing on energy drinks such as M-150. The path to market was anything but easy. Osotspa’s stock has since gained a quarter in value, boosting the Osathanugrah family’s 64% holding to roughly $1.9 billion, pushing its overall net worth up by 30% from the year before and vaulting it up four places to eighth on our annual list of Thailand’s richest. Last October, Petch led 128-year-old Osotspa in the country’s biggest IPO of the year, raising a $464 million war chest for expansion by selling a roughly 20% stake that valued the company at $2.3 billion. “This is my vision,” says Petch, “to go from one of the oldest companies in Thailand and transform it into one of the most modern.” In the process, he’s transforming one of Thailand’s oldest companies from a family-run pharmaceutical firm into a modern consumer-products multinational. Petch aims to change that by ramping up Osotspa’s footprint abroad, starting in neighboring markets such as Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. As Osotspa’s dynamo CEO, however, Petch is tackling a different challenge: that few outside Thailand have ever heard of, much less tried, M-150 or Osotspa’s other products. |
