In the IDW Comic series, “Godzilla: The Half-Century War”, Kiryu is an updated version of the previous Mechagodzilla (which resembled the Heisei incarnation) made after studying Godzilla’s skeletal structure, with bits of Godzilla's skin built into his armor.

In the comics “Godzilla: Ongoing” and “Godzilla: Rulers Of Earth”, Kiryu is an updated model of the Mechagodzilla built by the American and Japanese governments (which also resembled the Heisei version) created by wealthy industrialist Daniel Malmon. Eventually the machine was commandeered by the Counter-Kaiju Reaction forces and used alongside their other mecha MOGUERA to control the appearance of kaiju around the world.

Credit for the listed feats goes to this respect thread on Reddit.
