The Beast of God (神の獣 Kami no Kemono?) or The Devine Beast is a daikaiju manga by Tomoe Keisuke.

In Japan, similarities in terms of plots and characteristics of respective kaijus between “Kami no Kemono” and “Shin Godzilla”（also Heisei Gamera series, Space Runaway Ideon, and Neon Genesis Evangelion which either Annno or Higuchi, or both took part in）have been pointed out since the release of the latter and the controversy escalated late in July, 2017 while opponents claim that these points are nothing more than violent distortions. Not a single resource or official documents of “Shin Godzilla” never refer to “Kami no Kemono”. Regarding this, Tomoe was approached about the issue and replied not denying the point on his Facebook, commenting ” I cannot say anything about it because their (Shin Godzilla and Heisei Gamera) brand strengths are overwhelming”.
