Kaiju No. 4 (
After its death, it was turned into Numbers Weapon 4 (
Appearance[]
In life, Kaiju No. 4 was a large flying monster with a flat face sporting three eyes and sharp teeth. Its body was elongated and was similar to that of a centipede. It also had multiple sets of bug-like wings on its back.[3]
Its current appearance as a Numbers Weapon is that of a light-colored scaly suit, having two repulsors on the arms and a loincloth.[1] The suit can also spawn a set of bug-like wings, similar to No. 4's ones, on the back.[4]
Personality[]
Even as a Numbers Weapon, Kaiju No. 4 seems to vividly remember its past user Hikari Shinomiya, since her ghost is clearly visible to its current user Kikoru Shinomiya. The Kaiju also seems to be very observational and judgemental with Kikoru.[3]
History[]
At some point, Kaiju No. 4 was faced and killed by the Defense Force, eventually turning it into Numbers Weapon 4, formerly used by Second Division Captain Hikari Shinomiya.[1]
Plot[]
Cataclysms Arc[]
Numbers Weapon 4 was given to Hikari Shinomiya's daughter, Kikoru Shinomiya by First Division Captain Gen Narumi.[5] During her training with him, Kikoru witnessed her mother's ghost for the first time with Gen revealing that the ghost is Kaiju No. 4's memories of Hikari.
The Second Wave Arc[]
Kikoru Shinomiya later took action during the various kaiju attacks using Numbers Weapon 4.[2] She also took on Kaiju No. 15 with Hikari Shinomiya's ghost appearing again during the fight.[3]

Trivia[]
- Numbers Weapon 4 was originally worn by Hikari Shinomiya, but since Naoya Matsumoto thought about Kikoru Shinomiya inheriting the suit, the design was made to suit both. Since Hikari's image is that of a valkyrie, the design has a noble look with a loincloth as an accent.[6]
- Numbers Weapon 4 is currently the only Numbers Weapon worn by more than one person.
