'''Kafka Hibino''', dubbed '''Kaiju No. 8''' by the [[Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force]], is the main protagonist of the upcoming [[2024]] [[:Category:Animation|animated]] [[:Category:Television Series|series]] ''[[Kaiju No. 8 (series)|Kaiju No. 8]]''. <!---Initially a staff member of [[Kaiju]] cleanup company [[Monster Sweeper Inc.]], he desired to join the [[Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force]] after his dream of fighting by [[Mina Ashiro]]'s side was reawakened. However, he was transformed into a Kaiju after a small winged Kaiju flew into his mouth and merged itself with him. Now having transformed into a Kaiju, Kafka seeks to accomplish his goal while maintaining his transformation a secret from the Defense Force.--->
==Personality==

<!---
Kafka is shown to be supportive and kind, if at times inane. He frequently gives words of encouragement to his friends such as [[Reno Ichikawa]] and [[Kikoru Shinomiya]], but tends to get into childish squabbles whenever he is put in an undesirable situation. Despite this, he is shown to have a serious and tactical side to him, seen when he informs his Defense Force teammates of the various [[Kaiju]]'s weaknesses during the Secondary Selection Exam and the raid on [[Tachikawa Base]], as well as when he utilizes his new body's capabilities during his fight with [[Soshiro Hoshina]]. After fighting Hoshina and [[Kaiju No. 9]] on different occasions, they both describe his demeanor as human-like, despite his transformation.--->
==Design==
As Kaiju No. 8, Kafka has a monstrous appearance. His face is that of a horned skull with sharp teeth that extend to the sides of his head. He has four prominent fangs and cracks around his eye sockets, which house two small, glowing, cyan eyes. His body is dark gray in color with glowing cyan streaks on his torso, arms, and feet. His legs are armored and segmented. He has a row of pointed spines running down the back of his neck and back.
When charging his attacks, Kafka's streaks extend to his neck, chest, and legs, and his glow becomes more prominent, with his eye sockets turning completely cyan.<ref>[[File:KaijuNo8visual.png|150px]]</ref>

Following a Yoju's attack, Kafka was hospitalized alongside [[Reno Ichikawa]]. Hearing Ichikawa praise him for his selfless acts and his encouragement to join the [[Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force]], Kafka's dream of fighting by [[Mina Ashiro]]'s side was reignited. However, just as he was about to confidently declare his desire to join the Defense Force, Kafka noticed a small [[Kaiju]] hovering above him. The Kaiju said, "I found you," before flying into his mouth and forcing its way through his body. After ingesting the creature, Kafka's appearance radically changed to that of a monster and he gained immense power, transforming into the Kaiju that would later be known as Kaiju No. 8.--->

Kaiju No. 8 (怪獣8号,   Kaijū Hachigō) is an upcoming 2024 animated kaiju series funded by the JAKDF 3rd Division and animated by Production I.G. It is an adaptation of the Shonen Jump+ manga of the same name by Naoya Matsumoto.

Description

“

In a world plagued by threatening creatures known as Kaiju, Kafka Hibino aspired to enlist in the Japan Defense Force to defeat them.

“Let's wipe out the Kaiju together.”

Kafka pledged to his childhood friend, Mina Ashiro. Over time, life circumstances forced them to go their separate ways and caused him to abandon his lifelong ambition.

He found himself employed by Monster Sweeper, Inc., a professional cleaning company that specializes in cleaning up the aftermath of Kaiju battles. Meanwhile, Mina Ashiro is now the Captain of the Defense Force’s 3rd Division. As it stands, he is currently unworthy of fighting Kaiju alongside her.

At work, Kafka crosses paths with the highly motivated Reno Ichikawa. Reno’s undying determination to join the Defense Force leaves no room for failure. His perseverance reawakens Kafka’s ambition of standing next to Mina as they protect humanity from Kaiju together.

A dream frozen by time, thawed by a burning promise

But Kafka doesn’t know that an imminent Kaiju threat is unexpectedly approaching him.
