Why is Kaiju No. 8 so popular in Japan?
We know that the colossal figure of the kaiju is one of the most popular themes in Japan, so the fact of taking up its image predisposes to an almost certain success.
The apprehension and symbolism of the kaiju comes from a folkloric theme of origins in the same culture and myths of Japanese society. Since kaiju—or their image—originated from the forces of nature, we know that society greatly respects these issues, and that its aesthetics are based on this—from literature to plastic art.
The kaiju “are” —similarly— the children of Kagutsuchi —the mother of Japan, the incarnation of fire— who gave birth with the help of Homusubi —cause of fire—, they formed the volcanic lands of the archipelago.
“Monsters are tragic beings. They were born too big, too strong, and too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy.” commented Ishiro Honda, the creator of Godzilla.
Thus, Kaiju are natural beings that shaped the islands. However, the issue of genetic malformations after the Second World War would also qualify the concept of the kaiju “monster.”
Kaiju are colossal, and therefore monstrous, beings that are part of Japanese mythology. However, Godzilla—from distributor Toho—was the first materialization of the creatures from radioactivity, rather than mythology, that is, as a reflection after the nuclear bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Because of this, kaiju have also become a kind of symbol that denounces different conflicts faced by society that is unable to cope with such an overwhelming figure.
The fascination with kaiju goes beyond the immense aesthetics of the same, it has its roots in symbolic ways projecting questions of identity, it can also be a reflection of complaints from Japanese society.

Kaiju No. 8: Who is Gen Narumi?
Gen Narumi is the commander of the first division of forces, in other words he is in charge of the most powerful regiment in Japan.
The captain is quite a personality, as he is far removed from Captain Mina Ashiro herself who has inspired so many cadets to join the line of defense forces. However, Captain Narumi has the same desire for extermination just with different concerns. While Mina is protective of all her subordinates, Narumi seeks to unleash anger and finish off the kaiju in a jiffy, the priorities say so there.
The captain is also a kind of gamer – you know what to expect from his ways and personality, the presentation will be a disaster, he lives among garbage like a hikkikomori and also, he wants to become platinum (imagine, if it’s from League of Legends, we can wait for the flamer—.
