Leno is the closest friend of Kafka Hibino, who has worked hard continuously after joining the Defense Force in order to support his friend. Although he initially drew a power level of only 8% from his suit, he increased it to 18% after some rigorous training.

 He is very swift in battles and can work in coordination with anyone even if he has no previous experience of battling with them. The fact that Hoshina and Iharu hold a high opinion about him places him above Aoi and Furuhashi.

The girl with one of the most destructive powers takes sixth place on this list. Kikoru relies on her brute offensive tactics and can shred through enemies quickly.

The Vice-Commander of the Third Unit needs no introduction. He is a master of blades and can slice open monsters even in his sleep. His special attacks include the six forms of blade cutting techniques that he has displayed on countless occasions. 

Moreover, he is extremely fast, and his insane mobility allows him to get up close and personal to his enemies and deal a fatal blow with his blades. 

Unlike Mina and Kikoru, he doesn’t rely on brute offensive attacks and is more a swift fighter. His job is to carve out a path for his commander to land the final finishing blow.

She usually goes to battle with a long-range cannon and her tiger. Thus, she prefers long-range combat, which, combined with her excellent skill, is fatal for any monster.

He doesn’t care about mannerisms and the only thing that matters to him are skills. The way he defeated a large kaiju with no difficulty is no joke.


  • 1) Isao Shinomiya –

The strongest Defense Force member in Kaiju No. 8 is none other than Director General Isao Shinomiya. He bears a deep hatred towards the monsters after his wife got killed by them and it has made him the strongest person ever in Defense Force history.

The fact that only he was capable of using a weapon made from the core of Monster #2 is highly commendable.

Kafka Hibino comes under the special mention category since he doesn’t have any powers of his own. Although he is a great guy with an unwavering determination, he has to rely on the power of Monster #8 to get himself out of tricky situations.

Once he turns into Kaiju No. 8, he goes on from becoming the weakest character to the strongest character in the series which is absolutely crazy.
