Are you serious? Kiryu was the most memorable and Keizer Ghidorah is still remembered always as Toho's strongest space monster. The problem is; is that the movies would have to put some center around these monsters appearing again and also has to do with popularity from the fans.

It's like this; since this topic relates to DBZ. When Akira Toriyama was working on Dragon Ball Z when it just started becoming an anime (Saiyan Saga); Toriyama had created our Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa. Toriyama meant for both characters to die permanently, but many fans were booming for just the sheer love of Vegeta that Toriyama had to rewrite the script; while Nappa dies and never comes back to life, Vegeta is spared and later becomes a Z Fighter; all thanks to the fans. This works the same with some of the monsters at Toho, when they made GMK and Final Wars; Varan, Oodako (Giant Octopus) and Ookondoru (Giant Condor) were taken out of the film because the producers knew that these monsters weren't famous enough so they replaced them with more of the their other famous monsters instead; Zilla was also suppose to be in Godzilla: Unleashed, but the Pipeworks. Inc knew that he wasn't a big favorite among fans so he was scrapped.

The thing is in order for these kaiju to appear in another Toho film again is if the plot calls for it; or if they are likable enough especially memorable. When Spacegodzilla made his debut his film never did so well in the box office and most people forgot about him; with that case Toho would be very dicey whether they should put him back in another movie to fight Godzilla or not. I think that was pretty much the same thing for Battra too especially when it came to its character development.
