"Kaiju No. 8 Game Introduces New Character Sagan Shinomiya"

by Connor Feb 11,2026
  • Kaiju No. 8 introduces an exclusive original character created just for the game
  • Sagan Shinomiya plays a pivotal role as Kikoru Shinomiya's enigmatic adoptive older sister
  • Her full background and narrative significance remain classified until release

Seasoned anime and manga enthusiasts know how intricate character rosters can become, and Kaiju No. 8 continues this tradition with a fresh addition debuting solely in Kaiju No. 8: The Game.

The game's narrative diverges slightly from the original series, introducing mysterious portals across Japan that promise unprecedented kaiju threats. This crisis demands the formation of CLOZER (Closing Order with Zero Restrictions), a new specialized force working alongside the Kaiju Defence Force.

Leading CLOZER is Sagan Shinomiya (featured left), whose relationship to Kikoru Shinomiya adds compelling depth. Developers remain tight-lipped about her complete origins, arsenal, and story involvement.
