Shin Godzilla (/ʃɪnˈɡɒdˈzɪlə/ shin-ɡod-ZIL-ə)[b], is a giant monster, or kaiju, in Toho Co., Ltd.'s Godzilla media franchise. A variation of Godzilla, it first appeared in the 2016 reboot Shin Godzilla, released by Toho and co-directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi.
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) and the United States Air Force (USAF), 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 It stood frozen in the ruins of Tokyo.
While the character is never referred to as "Shin Godzilla" in the film, the name is reflected in official merchandise; the character is referred to by both the katakana "Gojira" and its English translation "Godzilla" interchangeably in the film.
