Wasei Kingu Kongu (和製キング・コング, lit. Japanese King Kong) was a 1933 Japanese black-and-white silent film directed by Torajiro Saito.[1][2][3] The film is a now lost silent short based on King Kong[4][5] and produced by Shochiku Studios (who released the original 1933 film in Japan on behalf of RKO). It has been suggested, without any strong evidence, that the film was lost as a result of US atomic bombing in 1945.[6]
