The story follows humanity's battle against enormous monster entities fought by an elite Anti-Kaiju Defence Force, and Hoshina stands out among its ranks as Vice-Captain of the Third Division.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes \u003cstrong\u003eSoshiro Hoshina\u003c\/strong\u003e such a fan favourite is his rare combination of effortless cool and devastating combat power. He carries an easygoing, almost sleepy demeanour in everyday life — his famous squinted eyes rarely opening fully — yet the moment a threat appears, those eyes snap wide open to reveal sharp bright blue irises and he transforms into one of the most fearsome sword fighters in the series. His fighting style is rooted in generations of samurai heritage, using traditional blade techniques passed down through his family.
