Shin Ultraman follows the continued appearance of giant unidentified life forms known as “S-Class Species (Kaiju)” –now commonplace in Japan. Conventional weapons have no effect on them and, having exhausted all other options, the Japanese Government issued the S-Class Species Suppression Protocol and formed an enforcement unit, known as the SSSP. 

In the midst of another Kaiju threat, a silver giant appears from beyond Earth’s atmosphere. 

Analyst Hiroko Asami (played by Masami Nagasawa) is newly appointed to the SSSP to deal with this giant and is partnered with Shinji Kaminaga. 

In Hiroko’s report, she writes— “Ultraman (tentative name), identity unknown.”
