Yuji Kaida (Japanese: 開田 裕治) is an artist from Japan. He produced a color, gatefold illustration of Darth Vader set against an incomplete Death Star for Star Wars Manga: Silver, which was published by Tokyopop.
Kaida's fame primarily stems from his illustrations featuring Godzilla and various other kaiju, which led to him being called "怪獣絵師" (essentially, the Kaiju Painter). In 1997, he received the Best Artist Seiun Award.
