* IdenticalGrandson: She shows some pictures of her family at one point, chronicling their history with Monarch. Not only does she have an identical twin sister, but her mother/aunt and grandmother/great aunt are ''also'' identical twins, and look just like her. Whether this is just playing the trope very, ''very'' straight or an allusion to something more bizarre going on is still unknown.

** [[WordOfGod Michael Dougherty]] has said in an interview that this was intentional and that Ilene and her twin are very much the Shobijin. Further, there was a planned credits scene where the the adult twins would enter a temple where a new set of five-year-old twin would be singing to the new Mothra egg mentioned in the credits.

* IdiotHero: While he's the only one who seems to understand that allowing Godzilla take down other Titans might be a viable option, at least at first, he does so because of a naturalistic philosophy.

* BeliefMakesYouStupid: Zigzagged. On the one hand, his IdiotHero credentials mostly come from his worshipful attitude towards Godzilla, and by extension the other Titans. Subverted in that, even though he disagrees with the government's plan to kill the Titans, he still feels that reintroducing them to the modern world should be done carefully and under strictly controlled measures, to minimize the danger this would pose to humanity. [[spoiler:He's also absolutely horrified by Dr. Emma Russell's decision to deliberately awaken all of the Titans and ''let'' them wipe out most of humanity.]]
* TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight: In the first film, it's easy to be skeptical of his belief that Godzilla and his fellow Titans are essential to the continued health of the world. [[spoiler:He is proven right at the end of ''Godzilla II'', when ending-credit news clippings reveal that the active presence of the Titans has caused massive ecological restorations -- to the point that a large part of the Sahara Desert has been ''turned back into tropical forest''.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:When Godzilla is heavily wounded and in a healing sleep in his "throne room" in the HollowEarth, an area filled with radioactive lava and thusly too hot & irradiated for any human or machine to survive entering, Dr. Serizawa undertakes a SuicideMission to bring a nuke to Godzilla and detonate it in order to accelerate his healing so he can fight against King Gidorah.]]

!!Dr. Ishiro Serizawa
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KenWatanabe
The scientist in charge of the MONARCH project and an expert on Godzilla and Kaiju.
----
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Has a quasi-religious attitude towards Godzilla, believing that he is essentially the personification of the balance of nature and the only hope humanity has of neutralizing the M.U.T.O.s, even if he has to kill people and destroy cities in the process. Admiral Stenz understandably thinks him naive for this.
* TheBusCameBack: Dr. Serizawa, not seen since the first film, is back, being portrayed by Creator/KenWatanabe. However, the character is a descendant instead of the original, and he's for Godzilla instead of against him.
* CompositeCharacter: Has the surname and world-weariness of Daisuke Serizawa, is a palaeontologist that wants to study the monsters versus killing them like Dr. Kyohei Yamane, and his insistence that Godzilla will save the day.
* MrExposition: Much of his screentime is devote to him providing backstory for Godzilla along with the Mutos, and how to potentially stop them.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When he first sees Joe Brody being interrogated, at first he thinks the guy's a loon, but then he looks at the papers Joe had on him, and notices the patterns perfectly match the ones they're seeing now. When the US Navy picks him up, he also has them bring both Brody's along. He realizes too late that Joe had indeed predicted that something wasn't right about those readings he was examining for the last 15 years. And though his son Ford didn't have the same knowledge, he did provide enough of a clue for Serizawa to figure out that Godzilla may not be quite the bad guy as he's seen as.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Although not quite the same character, his previous incarnation in the series died ''preventing'' Godzilla from wreaking more havoc [[spoiler:while here Serizawa is trying to convince the military the importance of Godzilla and comes out of the film with very little scrapes and bruises.]]
* ThousandYardStare: Acquires one [[spoiler:in the aftermath of the male Muto's awakening]].
* TragicKeepsake: His pocket watch, which originally belonged to his father and was broken in the Hiroshima bombing.
* {{Tuckerization}}: His first name is a tribute to Creator/IshiroHonda, the director of the original ''[[Film/{{Gojira}} Godzilla]]'' and the acknowledged creator of Godzilla. Though there was also a Dr. Serizawa in the original, his first name was "Daisuke".
