Kaiju No. 8 is set to introduce an all-new original character.
Sagan Shinomiya is the enigmatic adoptive older sister of Kikoru Shinomiya.
Her past and key details about her role in the story remain tightly guarded until launch.
As any devoted anime or manga fan knows, the casts of many series often expand significantly over time. Kaiju No. 8 is no exception—this time introducing a brand-new original character exclusive to Kaiju No. 8: The Game.
The plot of Kaiju No. 8: The Game diverges slightly from the original series, as mysterious portals have begun appearing across Japan, threatening to unleash more colossal monsters than ever before. To counter this escalating threat, a new organization—distinct from the Kaiju Defence Force—has been formed to combat these creatures and seal the portals.
This group, known as CLOZER (Closing Order with Zero Restrictions; yes, it’s real), is led by the mysterious Sagan Shinomiya, visible on the left in our featured image. As Kikoru Shinomiya’s adoptive older sister, her origins, weapons, and narrative function are being carefully kept under wraps by the developers.

It’s common for anime and manga-based games to include one or two original characters, typically serving as player avatars to help newcomers navigate the complex worlds inhabited by the main cast.
What stands out here is that developer Akatsuki Games appears to be pouring significant resources into Kaiju No. 8, especially after canceling their other anime adaptation, Tribe Nine, just three months after its release. This shift may cause fans to approach the upcoming launch of Kaiju No. 8 with cautious optimism.
