Akane Shinjou is a "bona fide" Kaiju fan and high schooler who attends at the same school as Yuta Hibiki, Rikka Takarada, and Shou Utsumi. She is the most popular girl in the school but acts especially friendly with Yuta, talking to him when he is alone and sharing her food with him. She is also an old friend of Rikka, but nowadays, they've stopped being close as they used to be.

In the past, Akane met an alien called Alexis Kerib who had the power to help Akane rule the world as she wanted. She took the offer, they became friends, and Alexis digitized himself so he could live inside Akane's computer. Akane, being the Kaiju fan that she is, started to make Kaiju sculptures, and Alexis, with his power "Instance Abreaction" brought them to life. With her Kaijus, Akane started shaping the world as she saw fit. With a Kaiju, she could kill someone that she didn't like, and after that, with a special type of Kaiju called "Mist Kaiju," everyone's memories of that person would be erased or edited so nobody would miss it.

Because of her actions, the Hyper Agent Gridman came from the Hyper World to end Akane's reign and stop Alexis from using her as a way to control the world himself.

During the series, Akane and Rikka become friends again.Later in the series, is revealed that Akane is actually a goddess who ran away from her "real world" and built the world that we know by herself. Every person, every building, was made by and for Akane herself. Alexis Kerib saw in her a chance to be a god himself, so he used her emotional weakness as a way to make her agree in a "partnership" with him, in which he could use his Instance Abreaction to make Akane's Kaijus come to life and help her keep her world as she wants it, killing many people in the progress.

After finding that out, Yuta, Rikka, and Utsumi team up with Gridman and the Neon Genesis Junior High Students to stop Akane and help her wake up from this long-lasting dream that she is in.After doing everything that she can to try to stop the Gridman Alliance, and even becoming a Kaiju herself, Gridman saves Akane from Alexis' influence and restores the world as it was originally and restoring Akane's broken mind.

In the end, Akane says goodbye to her friends and to the world that she created, leaving everyone to live their lives as they want and returns to her real world.
