Long ago, a Japanese scientist was one of the first test subjects for experiments with enhanced hybrids, one of the first to become a "Kaijin," having received praying mantis blood.
However, before the company could improve and grow, he, being the strongest specimen at the time, managed to destroy the base and other experiments before escaping, also carrying some of the devices used to experiment on the test subjects.
He fled far away, to a small, mountainous town in Japan. There, he set up a small laboratory, where he sometimes studied, modified, and stored the items he rescued from his torture, and also to understand himself. He also met a Brazilian exchange student, and it was the chance he needed to restart his life.
They even had a daughter. And for years, everything seemed fine.
Until, at 13, the girl began to experience drastic changes in her biology. Not just those of puberty.
Her father realized she had inherited his hybrid blood. And an uncontrolled one.
The two began searching for ways to control the situation. The solution was the belt, the device that had allowed her father to return to human form years earlier. But more than helping her, the device enhanced her. Her shell became armor.
However, simultaneously, the company was back in full swing. Several uncontrolled hybrids began appearing on the city streets, terrorizing the population.
Renata seemed to be the only one capable of standing up to these strange creatures. Overnight, she began living a double life as a heroine, becoming popularly known in the city as "Kamajin."
Fun fact: The "higher powers" of the city had a plan for Renata to be the magical girl from the region. But having the awakening of her hybrid blood, the plans changed at the last minute, and basically her "destiny" was diverted to someone else...
