Guillermo del Toro goes Japan to promote his film, Pacific Rim.
In an earlier press conference in Japan, they asked him what places he'd like to visit and he said one of them is Nakano Broadway.
So the host brought him to Nakano Broadway, it's an alternative to Akihabara, where all things Otaku are.
Out of all the Tokusatsu Monsters available in the shop, the host ask him to pick one, which is his favourite of them all.
He had a hard time choosing. As much as he love Godzilla, he eventually picked Red King in the end.
He explained how Tokusatsu films played a big part in his childhood and they influenced his films like Pacific Rim and Hellboy.
It gets more wholesome when they get Alien Baltan, one of his favourite monsters to show up!
Bless this man for not being afraid of show his inner child to the world and never lost that childhood curiosity and innocence.
