Toho "Ultrathem" Tanaka

is a Graceful Knowledge Explorer who Grows to Towering Heights

Toho Tanaka (a.k.a. Ultrathem)

They present dressed in trekking gear, a Xenoarcheology society pin and a weirdly colourful baton with a pink gemstone hanging from their belt.
They study the history of Kaiju appearances by exploring long forgotten ruins and normally find traces of kaijus just about to awake after thousands of years in slumber. They and their colleagues normally endeavour to stop them from waking up, but always barely fall short, usually because of the shortcomings of a naïve, traitorous or simple colleague (never Toho!). At which point they have no choice but to activate the Ultrathem baton and grow to towering heights to fight the Kaiju.
The Ultrathem baton was made in collaboration with the electric car company, Ultra Cars, when it became clear millennial Kaijus were awaking at uncannily frequent rates and was awarded to the leading Xenoarcheologist focused on Kaijus: Toho. By contract, the armour enlarging power can only be activated if the wearer performs a quirky dance and shouts: "ULTRATHEM" with a voice filter.
Some reflections on Toho's beliefs, from G:
{I think Toho started out as a ordinary archeologist kinda interested in weird mythical creatures that soon became a profound intellectual love for those creatures. They would spend their time exploring dangerous ruins investigating stories about said creatures.
When it eventually became clear some of those were real, they fund themselves torn between protecting humanity from them, and protecting those creature they had grown to love.
So when they found these creatures roles in the ecosystem, it was a enough to assuage her moral dilemma. They were not to be harmed, even if it meant endengering humanity a bit more then necessary.
I'm pretty sure Ultrathem never really kills the Kaijus. They just stop them from doing too much damage and knocks them out enough to let them go back to their secluded radioactive lair (underwater temple, uncharted island, hollow earth, volcanoes) to regenerate. Probably only after they've done what they awakened to do (smashing Jeff Bezos, destroy a warship, topple a corrupt government by toppling the government building, squish a bunch of those overpopulated frogs in Australia).
So yeah, I guess it kinda goes in contrast to Dvorak, in as much Toho is profoundly intellectually interested and empathic toward all forms of life independent of their species and how aggressive they are. They kinda also wanna save humans if they can, but... you know: humans are just not as interesting as a giant moth, and arguably less beneficial for the environment.}
