The Colossal Titan (超大型巨人 Chō ōgata Kyojin) is a kaijin created by Hajime Isayama for his manga series Attack on Titan. In the 2015 live-action films produced by Toho, Attack on Titan the Movie: Part 1 and Part 2, his human form is Kubal (クバル Kubaru), the director of the Military Police regiment.
History
Attack on Titan the Movie: Part 1
100 years after the remnants of humanity built three concentric walls to protect themselves from man-eating giants called Titans, the Colossal Titan suddenly appeared behind the Outer Wall, steam spewing out of him. With a series of kicks, he created a hole in the wall before vanishing, allowing smaller Titans to flood in and massacre the Garrison and nearby villages. Humanity withdrew to the Middle Wall.
Two years after the Colossal Titan's attack, Director General Kubal addressed recruits joining the new Scout Regiment. With the food supply rapidly depleting, he announced a mission to seal the hole in the Outer Wall with the last of humanity's explosives. He introduced Weapons Squad Leader Hans, who demonstrated the new omni-directional mobility gear allowing soldiers to launch attacks on Titans from the air.
Titans detected the Scout Regiment during their first stop on the way to the Monzen District where the Colossal Titan first appeared. Kubal ordered the trucks to immediately press onward, leaving most of the recruits to fend for themselves, but Captain Shikishima and Mikasa came to their rescue. In Otemachi, Kubal praised Shikishima for guarding a secret stash of explosives hidden in the city. Due to rumors of an insurgent group, however, they are not quite in the location he claimed they were, but a hidden underground chamber. Later, he overheard Armin and Sasha discussing the forbidden technology from humanity's past and reminded them of the destruction and misery these inventions caused.
At daybreak, Titans began attacking the city. Kubal and his troops focused their efforts on protecting the truck with the explosives. Nonetheless, a masked man drove away in the truck, only for a grief-stricken Lil to take the wheel herself and detonate the explosives amidst a group of Titans.

- Kubal
After learning that one of the recruits, Eren can transform into a titan like himself, Kubal saw him as a possible threat. Kubal restrains him and declares him the first human ever captured to be able to turn into a titan and blames Eren for the Titans ravaging the area and brushes off the claims that Eren is a good-natured Titan just because he fought other Titans with the rest of the Scout Regiment. When Souda tries to defend Eren by mentioning that Kubal killed Eren's parents, he called Souda a drunk a shot him dead. Suddenly, a white, armored titan burst through the building, saving Eren and injuring Kubal. After recovering, Kubal goes to Monzen on foot. He comes at the aftermath of a battle between Shikishima's forces and the scouts and picks up a gun from one of the corpses. Kubal arrives at the top of the Outer Wall while the scouts return to seal the hole made by the Colossal Titan. He watches Eren and Shikishima battle in their titan and claps after Eren wins the bout. He offers them all a place in the interior if they hand over Eren. They refuse, so Kubal warns the group by shooting Armin in the leg. Sasha shoots arrows into Kubal's neck causing him to fall over and transform into the Colossal Titan.

After two years, the Colossal Titan returns. The scouts turn their attention to him the Colossal Titan swats many scouts away, including Jean. Eren is able to reach the Colossal Titan's nape, but is caught by him before he can slice out Kubal. The titan lets out a laugh and tries to crush Eren, but the White Titan, with the last bomb, jams it into the Colossal Titan's mouth and activates it, killing Kubal and the Colossal Titan.
