Technically, Mothra vs. Godzilla established that Mothra and Godzilla existed in the same universe.
JD DeLuzio said:RE: shared universe in the Toho kaiju films:
Varan the Unbelievable introduces Modern Mysteries, the in-universe show that reappears in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, the film (as far as I can tell) that establishes the fact of a shared universe for most of the Toho kaiju films. I don't think that, before that, we had any indication that the various monsters co-existed. Even the outsize Frankenstein movies get folded in through Baragon's appearance in Destroy All Monsters, and I'm sure some other connections may have been made by the post-Showa era films, but I am mostly unfamiliar with those.
A few of these (Yog/Space Amoeba, for example) have no established connection to the others, so far as I can determine, save for the studio and the house style.

Oh, and the Green Gargantua and Kamebas from Yog got brief mentions in the Millennium Godzilla movies.

I knew someone was going to respond to my post on that point before I edited it.

You should add "& Gamera" to the subject line for ease of future reference.
(Thinking ahead; just a suggestion.)

Yes, yes, good thinking (he says, nodding sagely over a candle, looking incredibly evil)
