~!Also known as Zegga (ゼッガー Zeggā) in her Kaiju form) is one of the main characters and alongside Alexis Kerib, she served as a central antagonist in SSSS.Gridman.!~

Akane is noted to be a kind and popular girl, liked by all her classmates, and especially admired by Utsumi. ~!However, behind that facade lies a mentally troubled individual with sociopathic tendencies, easily harboring petty grudges against anyone who wrongs her, even if it was an accident. She is also shown to be extremely manipulative and violent.!~

Collaboration with Tsuburaya Productions. 

Yuta Hibiki awakens with amnesia and the ability see things that others cannot. He first encounters a Gridman in the reflection of his friend Rikka Takarada's computer and it tells him to "Remember his calling," but Yuta doesn't understand what this means. Later, in the distance, he sees an extremely large monster but it doesn't move. It's only when Yuta gets to school that the two sightings make sense: a monster attacks and the hero Yuta saw in the computer screen pulls him within the computer and transforms Yuta into a giant hero named Gridman.

A year has passed since the events of SSSS.GRIDMAN. The world is at peace and no one except for Rikka and Utsumi remembers the kaiju, Gridman, or Akane Shinjou. This includes Yuuta, who despite serving as Gridman's host, has no memory of the most important moments of his life. So when a new Kaiju appears, he leaps at the chance to prove to himself that he too can be the hero by merging with Gridman once more.
