Synopsis
Japan fights kaiju with bio-weapon Kamui, piloted by ace Yamato Shidou.
Japan has been devastated by attacks from giant monsters! Tanks, bombs, missiles, airpower—all are useless against the overwhelming threat. In a desperate gambit, ace pilot Yamato Shidou is placed onboard a giant biological weapon, codename: Kamui. The only thing that can beat a kaiju...is another kaiju!
