History
Infant Island is a small island located somewhere in the South Pacific. In addition to native islanders, Infant Island is also home to a race of miniature fairies known as the Shobijin. The Shobijin worship a great guardian creature known as Mothra.

In the early 1960s, Infant Island was the site of various atomic tests conducted by members of the government of the nation of Rolisica. A Japanese vessel was caught in a typhoon and washed ashore on Infant Island. They met the native islanders and were given a mysterious red berry juice, which protected them from the effects of exposure to ambient radiation. The team was eventually rescued and taken to the National Synthesis Nucleus Center, where it was discovered that they had not been affected by radiation in any way.

In 1961, a Japanese-Rolisican joint expedition journeyed to Infant Island where they surveyed the local areas. A Rolisican named Clark Nelson discovered the twin fairies known as the Shobijin and kidnapped them. He intended on enslaving them and forcing them to sing and perform for entertainment. The abduction of the Shobijin however awakened the ire of their god, Mothra.
