Kaiju No. 8 Cosplay Flaunts Kikoru

By August Tales

Kaiju No. 8 is currently brewing its second season of suspense and fantasy. In anticipation, Kikoru Shinomiya is flaunting a killer cosplay. Originating from the ingenious mind of Naoya Matsumoto, Kaiju No. 8 debuted on the Jump+ app in 2020. The franchise sky-rocketed after its successful anime adaptation earlier this year.

Slaying gigantic monsters and saving humanity cemented its appeal to fans. Hence, no eyebrows were raised when a second season was announced. Kafka Hibino and his fellow fighters will be back, granting fans another chance to quench their action-thirst.

A Rising Star

Fans are digging Kikoru Shinomiya’s character. However, she’s more than just the girl with the giant ax. She uses this tool with elegance and valor, symbolizing her tangible confidence. Transforming her character into a reality, the artist named yayaizen on TikTok shared a cosplay. The convincing depiction is already sending shockwaves throughout the fandom.

Upcoming Attractions

Moving on to the future of Kaiju No. 8. They’re cooking up a special season 2, focusing on Soshiro Hoshina. Release dates for both adaptations remain under wraps. Season 2, however, is expected to premiere in 2025.

In the meantime, fans can binge-watch the first season on Crunchyroll. Here’s a quick recap: Kafka Hibino’s aspiration is to defend Japan against the monstrous Kaiju. Despite parting ways with his childhood friend Mina Ashiro, Kafka lands a job at Monster Sweeper Inc. Ironically, his job is cleaning up the aftermath of Kaiju battles.

A Dream Rekindled

While Mina rises to the rank of Captain of the Defense Force’s 3rd Division, Kafka is still sweeping monsters’ remains. Crossing paths with Reno Ichikawa’s dogged determination to join the Defense Force shakes Kafka. This encounter reignites his ambition to battle the Kaiju side-by-side with Mina. What was once a frozen dream is now thawing into a burning promise.
