Kaiju no. 8 has earned on its own merits to be considered one of the great anime series of 2024. Its story, full of science fiction elements, left more than one mystery unsolved in its first season, and the charisma of its charming main characters allowed the series to do not sink into oblivion.
Reno Ichikawa is one of the first characters we met in Kaiju No. 8 and, like our hero, his dream is to be a member of the defense force and protect the people from the terrifying kaijus that are sowing terror in Japan. Reno’s evolution is one of the most interesting of the entire work, and in this article we will share the necessary information to understand his role in this successful anime.

Reno Ichikawa, Kafka’s best ally Hibino
Reno debuted in the first episode of Kaiju No. 8. Like our main character, Reno works to break up and manipulate the corpses of kaijus that usually pile up on the streets of Japan. This work allowed him to understand how the organisms of some of these creatures functioned, but Rhino’s greatest desire was still to join the defense force.
Reno fulfills his dream of joining the defense forces
At the cleaning company Monster Sweeper Inc. Reno teamed up with Kafka Hibino, a thirty something year old who had always wanted to be part of the defense force. Despite having opposite personalities, Kafka was able to gain Reno’s trust and even protected the boy when a giant kaiju tried to devour him. After this event, Reno and Kafka form a friendship that grows stronger and stronger.
Aware of Kafka’s dream and the tremendous bravery he showed in saving his life, Reno encouraged his new friend to take the official entrance tests for the defense forces. In these, Reno stood out for his skill with firearms and adequately adapted to the elaborate costumes used by the members of this organization. Also, he continued to worry about Kafka and the numerous problems he had with each test.

In this first season, Rino also managed to become an official member of the Defense Force and even dared to face Kaiju No. 9, an extremely dangerous creature that defeated in a few minutes the most promising candidate of all: Kikoru Shinomiya. On the other hand, Reno does not distance himself from Kafka when he discovers that his friend has the ability to transform into an intelligent kaiju and even agrees to keep this problematic power a secret.
