Gamera's role as a guardian of children came from director Noriaki Yuasa's own traumatic experiences growing up as a child during WWII. He mentioned that all the adults and teachers he knew would constantly implant to him the importance of nationalism and Imperial Japan's ambitions, only to abandon it all after Japan's defeat. He recounted the story of how of a teacher of his switched from being a outspoken Nationalist into an advocating Communist. Yuasa had also been a child actor and the behavior he witnessed from them lead him to develop a disapproval of actors in general. These sentiments were carried into the making of Gamera, which Yuasa conceived as the only entity children could have faith in.

"[English version] Mr. Sakurai: Gamera saved your life. Kenny: Because he knows I like turtles. Nobuyo Sakurai: Gamera liked you. Gamera must have a good heart. Kenny: Gamera's a good turtle."
"[English version] Nobuyo Sakurai: Has Kenny done anything wrong? Mr. Ueda: Not really, but he's done a really strange drawing. I thought you should see it. Nobuyo Sakurai: It looks like a turtle. Mr. Ueda: Yes, but that's all he ever draws. He repeats it every day, a type of obsession."
