About

Kevin Ghidorah is the nickname of the left-most head of King Ghidorah, a three-headed dragon and the main antagonist in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The head, less serious than the other two, was nicknamed "Kevin" by director Michael Doughtery, and has inspired jokes and fan art.

Origin

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla fights King Ghidorah, a three-headed dragon. Each of the heads has a distinct personality, with the left-most head being less serious-seeming than the other two. On June 2nd, 2019, Redditor RWT1998 made a post in the r/GODZILLA[8] subreddit titled "Who else named the left head kevin." The post contains an image of King Ghidorah with a head labeled "Kevin." The post received more than 460 points (98% upvoted) in less than two years (shown below).

One of the most popular images used to mock Kevin was posted to DeviantArt on June 2nd, 2019 by MichaelJLarson,[6] before Dougherty revealed the nickname of the character (shown below, left). This became an object labeling template known as the Three Headed Dragon, which used the Kevin head as the punchline. For example, Reddit user giganawesome[7] used it to make a joke about Keanu Reeves, gaining over 22,700 upvotes in three weeks (shown below, right).
