The author Takao Iwami (under his pseudonym 田尻育三) originally used the nickname "Monster of Manchuria" in a piece for the magazine Bungeishunjū (「満州の妖怪―岸信介研究」『文藝春秋』1977年11月号) but for the title of his subsequently published book from 1979, "Monster of Shōwa" was used. Both phrases are inventions that can be traced back to Iwami and were not used by Kishi's contemporaries during his career. Of the two, the nickname that is actually used today is "Monster of Shōwa".
