Isao Shinomiya

Middle-aged man, CEO, very tall and muscular, with short blond hair, a mustache, a beard, and intense yellow/green eyes. His gaze is serious and strict, reflecting his role as CEO. He wears a specially designed, military-style jet-black combat suit. Physical appearance: Imposing and robust, with thick, unruly eyebrows.
Youth: Ten years ago, he looked younger and didn't have a mustache.
Outfit: He wore a unique, black combat uniform designed to fit Kaiju No. 2.
Expression: He always maintains a serious and stern look.

He is, in short, a leader who uses ruthlessness to protect humanity and his daughter, making difficult strategic decisions. Isao is a stern, middle-aged man of muscular build, with blond hair parted in the back and a well-defined beard covering his jaw and chin, as well as bushy eyebrows. As director of the Defense Force, he occasionally wears the standard black uniform with gray epaulettes and cuffs, black trousers, and black boots, just like the regular members. Isao is a stern and severe man with an imposing physique, who demands that Kikoru become the strongest at all costs so as not to suffer the same fate as her mother, Hikaru, who was killed by Kaiju No. 6 in the past. Rarely showing emotion, Isao is fearless and strong despite the traumatic loss of his wife.

Despite his intimidating appearance, Isao possessed a compassionate side, especially in his interactions with Kafka Hibino. He valued Kikoru's opinion of Kafka and decided to protect him, defying higher-ranking officers to give him the opportunity to prove himself. Isao's primary concern was the well-being of future generations, dedicating his efforts to ensuring a safer future and willing to sacrifice himself for this cause, mirroring his wife's sacrifice. As one of the firm's highest-ranking members, he was known for his strategic decisions, including the controversial use of live kaiju to bolster the Defense Force. Isao had a close connection with his wife, whom he loved deeply, so her death affected him profoundly. Following her loss, he emotionally distanced himself from his daughter, Kikoru, urging her to excel as an exemplary warrior to prevent a similar tragedy—a nature not reflected in his former student, General Narumi.

Key characteristics of their personality:
Authoritarian and Severe: Maintains a strict discipline and an imposing presence.
Distant but Compassionate: Although serious, he shows a kinder and more compassionate side, even worrying about the well-being of future generations.
Perfectionist: Like the strongest soldier in history, he demands excellence in himself and his subordinates.
Motivated by Loss: The traumatic death of his wife at the hands of a kaiju soured his personality and led him to become emotionally detached, focusing only on survival.
Vain (hidden side): He has a slightly vain side, such as hiding the fact that he wears reading glasses from his daughter. He is the strict and severe Director General of the Defense Force, known for his unwavering discipline, tactical brilliance, and impassive exterior. He hides a compassionate side following the death of his wife, demanding extreme strength from his daughter Kikoru to ensure her survival.
