Sin Chon- Wasn't too sure of his name. Reporter who's nick named the Bulldog (once he has a good story, he never lets go...GRRRR!) He helps Chu Cho to return the Ailenas to Pharoah Island.
Shinji- Tubby little kid who tries to free the Ailenas. Ends up getting knocked out, tied up, and buried under a pile of folding chairs.
Nelson- Greedy entrepeneur who kidnaps the Ailenas from their island. A huge manhunt is conducted to arrest him and release the girls after Mothra visits Tokyo. Shot to death by the Orlisikan police.
The Ailenas- (a.k.a. The Shobijin, a.k.a. the Cosmos) Two extremely tiny twins from Pharoah Island in the Pacific. They have a psychic link with Mothra, which acts like a homing beacon! They are eventually rescued from Nelson's clutches and returned to their island.
Mothra- The giant silk worm deity of Pharoah Island. It swims to the Japanese mainland and destroys Tokyo. After building a cacoon on Tokyo Tower, the creature is believed to have been incinerated by the Orlisikan Atomic Heat Ray! Mothra then bursts from her cacoon in moth form and flies to the Ailenas' rescue!
Reporter: "The cacoon has been reduced to a huge smoldering cinder. This has been a real victory for the 'atomic heat ray!'"
