For any seasoned anime or manga enthusiast, it’s no surprise that popular series often expand their casts significantly over time. *Kaiju No. 8* is clearly set to continue this tradition—with a twist. An all-new original character is making her debut as part of *Kaiju No. 8: The Game*, adding fresh intrigue and narrative depth to the franchise.
While the core storyline of *Kaiju No. 8* centers around humanity's battle against monstrous threats, *The Game* introduces a new narrative element: mysterious gates appearing across Japan, unleashing an even greater number of kaiju than before. In response, a brand-new organisation has been formed—separate from the established Kaiju Defence Force—to combat these emerging threats and seal the gates before destruction becomes unavoidable.
This new faction is known as **CLOZER** (*Closing Order with Zero Restrictions*—yes, that’s really the name), and at its helm stands the enigmatic figure of **Sagan Shinomiya**, seen on the left in the featured image. As the adoptive older sister of Kikoru Shinomiya, Sagan brings a complex family dynamic into play. However, much of her past, including her arsenal and ultimate role within the game’s story, remains under wraps ahead of launch.
In the world of anime-based games, it's common to see one or two original characters introduced—often as player proxies—to help guide newcomers through the dense lore and sprawling universes typical of long-running series. What makes this reveal especially interesting is how much focus developer Akatsuki Games is placing on *Kaiju No. 8*. This comes shortly after the abrupt cancellation of their previous anime title, *Tribe Nine*, just three months post-launch—an outcome that may leave some fans cautious about expectations for *Kaiju No. 8*’s future.
