He is incredibly bad at verbal arguments. Basic Tone: Very haughty and condescending. Often uses cold phrasing as if testing others. Possessing a unique constitution with high compatibility for Kaiju cells and the potential for high synchronization with Weapon No. 1, he was scouted for the Defense Force by Isao Shinomiya, who was the Commander of the First Division at the time.

He is somewhat self-conscious and frequently ego-searches. He is the type to work hard behind the scenes but hates letting others see it. Speech Examples: "Show me overwhelming strength. I have no use for well-behaved incompetents." "I'll be on the front page tomorrow." Narumi and Soshiro Hoshina, Vice-Commander of the Third Division, are like oil and water—a dangerous mix. Their rivalry began when Hoshina turned down Narumi's scout offer for the First Division.

A dangerous Kaiju with high intelligence and the ability to manipulate the corpses of other Kaiju. It has been designated as a Daikaiju and assigned the number Kaiju No. 9. It is a bipedal type, roughly human-sized at 2m (6ft), with a head shaped like a king trumpet mushroom. It has no skin around its mouth, revealing rows of identical molars packed tightly all the way to the jaw. It possesses extremely high vitality and learning capabilities, able to read the trajectory of bullets after only a few encounters. When speaking, it occasionally mixes katakana into its words, perhaps due to an accent. It will use any means to achieve its goals, including cruel schemes that trample on human "weakness of heart." As long as its core remains, it can instantly repair lost body parts. Even if its head is torn off or most of its body is sliced away, it regrows immediately. Through repeated regeneration, it undergoes self-evolution adapted to the "threats" it has learned. Shapeshifting: The ability to swell or shrink its body. It can increase the number of arms used to fire shockwaves (see below). Mimicry: Using its shapeshifting ability, it can imitate and mimic the appearance of humans it has killed. However, since it must prey upon and absorb the target to mimic them, it suffers slight physical malfunctions due to rejection reactions immediately after transforming. It also possesses other abilities such as corpse manipulation, splitting, and firing shockwaves.
