Joining the Anti-Kaiju Defense Force is a goal many characters have in Kaiju No. 8, but reaching the role of officer is something most won't be able to achieve in their lifetime. For the select few that are strong enough to draw out the combat power of suits in Kaiju No. 8, they can earn the role of officer with the potential of one day reaching a higher level, such as Platoon Leader, Vice-Captain, and Captain. Mangaka Naoya Matsumoto covers many characters hoping to achieve this dream, and one of the officers with the biggest potential of reaching new heights is none other than Reno Ichikawa.
