Shin Godzilla (Japanese: シン・ゴジラ, Hepburn: Shin Gojira), depicted as Godzilla (ゴジラ, Gojira) in its film, is the titular main protagonist of the 2016 kaiju film of the same name directed by Hideaki Anno.
It is an ever-evolving lifeform that was mutated by radioactive waste dumped by the United States in the Tokyo Bay in the late-1950s. Now capable of spontaneously adapting to different situations, this Giant Unidentified Lifeform came ashore in Tokyo, in 2016 and immediately caused havoc, with all of the weapons set off by the Japanese Self Defense Force (JSDF) having no effect on it. It was finally defeated by a complex plan orchestrated by government official Rando Yaguchi, but still could not be killed and remained a potential threat as he stood frozen in the ruins of Tokyo.
