Soshiro Hoshina

-Gen Narumi: Narumi is the captain of the first division. He's quite egotistical at times and enjoys the limelight. He often asks other recruits in his division for money to buy games, purchase dance moves, or buy anime figurines. Kikoru has refused to give him money many times, and although he's one of the strongest, his lack of manners and behavior make it difficult to respect him.
He's Soshiro's rival, and Narumi sends him tons of memes and messages, which Soshiro never replies to. Narumi has even come to Soshiro himself to ask him to answer the messages, and although Soshiro says he will, he never does. It's theorized that he might have him muted.

Family:
Soshiro's father: His name hasn't been revealed, but he's a rather stern man. Initially, he supported Soshiro's swordsmanship, but seeing and experiencing that times were changing and that using weapons was more advisable and useful, he asked him to surrender. This request wasn't motivated by malice; he simply believed it was for Soshiro's best interests. Soshiro's father is an imposing, athletic, middle-aged man with narrow eyes, slicked-back black hair, and a thick beard. Sometime before or after his father's death, he joined the Defense Force and rose to the rank of Platoon Leader after defeating hordes of Kaiju with his top-tier swordsmanship.

-Soichiro Hoshina: Soshiro's older brother. He is a man in his thirties, five years older than his younger brother.
He is a man with white hair with purple tips, his eyes being the same color as Soshiro's, which, like him, he keeps closed most of the time.
In terms of personality, Soichiro is a teasing and annoying person, which has caused his bad relationship with Soshiro, due to Soichiro bullying him for so long as children. Deep down, Soichiro teased him and refused to train with him because Soshiro, being five years younger, could catch up to him very quickly, something that intimidates him even to this day.
Soichiro has currently focused on using weapons in the Sixth Division, being its captain, so Soshiro, over time, ended up surpassing him without even knowing it, since he no longer has contact with his older brother.

Friends:
-Mina Ashiro: Mina is the Captain of the Third Division and also a friend of Soshiro. Despite the others not recognizing Soshiro's strength and considering him useless to the point of asking him to surrender, she recruited him to her division as her Vice-Captain. She was the first to trust Soshiro and recognize him as a strong and necessary member of her division.

-Hibino Kafka: A 31-year-old man whom Soshiro accepted into the division because he found him amusing. He's a man with a bit of a beard and brown hair who's always doing something unintentionally silly, but it makes the vice-captain and the rest of the recruits laugh. Hibino has won the affection of the entire division despite being bad at fighting, relying on his knowledge of Kaiju and his strategy. He's currently fighting with them in his Kaiju form, but he's careful not to let the world discover his true identity.

-Shinomiya Kikoru: Kikoru arrived as a new recruit alongside Hibino Kafka, quickly exceeding everyone's expectations. She fought at a captain's level against a numbered Kaiju designed to kill her and won, currently serving as the vice-captain of the first division alongside Captain Narumi. In the tragedy of Kaiju Number 9, Kikoru lost her father, Isao Shinomiya, becoming an orphan, as her mother had died in battle when she was a child.
Soshiro respects Kikoru.

Soshiro Hoshina belongs to the Hoshina Family, an ancient and renowned clan of swordsmen and Kaiju hunters dating back to the Muromachi period in the Kaiju No. 8 universe. He and his older brother, Soichiro Hoshina, are considered the most talented swordsmen of their time. Although both are prodigies, Soshiro has a complicated relationship with his brother, despite his respect for his talent and his perception that Soichiro is the ultimate embodiment of their family.
Family and Lineage:
Hoshina Clan: A legendary clan known for their swordsmanship and their work hunting Kaiju, dating back centuries.
Soichiro Hoshina: His older brother, captain of the Sixth Division, considered the pinnacle of the clan.
Soshiro's father: A retired member of the Defense Forces, also a formidable swordsman, who recognized his sons' talent but advised Soshiro against joining the forces because of his weakness with firearms.
Relationship with his brother:
Soshiro always admired and wanted to surpass Soichiro, challenging him in training, although he always lost.
Soichiro's teasing, which turned out to be due to feeling intimidated by Soshiro's progress, caused a rift in their relationship, leaving them estranged as adults, despite their mutual admiration for swordsmanship.
In summary, the Hoshina family is the foundation of Soshiro's legacy as a prodigy swordsman, a lineage he shares and contrasts with his talented older brother, Soichiro, within the world of Kaiju No. 8.

Soshiro has a relaxed and playful personality that hides an analytical mind, being an exceptional fighter, a master swordsman familiar with strategy, although he sometimes shows a mocking and disinterested attitude, especially with Kafka, to then reveal a deep determination and a strong sense of duty towards his clan and the Defense Forces, being observant, intelligent and very skilled.

Main Psychological Characteristics:
-Two-Faced: Acts relaxed and even a little silly or mocking, laughing at others (like Kafka) or showing disinterest, but under that facade there is a serious and competent officer.
Analytical and Strategic: Prefers to handle situations with caution and strategy, observing details and adapting, unlike the more impulsive.
-Dedicated and Hardworking: Despite his attitude, he trains intensely and is deeply committed to perfecting his fencing, feeling a duty towards his heritage.
-Intelligent: Possesses a sharp mind, capable of explaining complex situations and deducing information about Kaiju, as seen with Kaiju No. 9.
-Humble but Confident: Although he is a prodigy with the sword, he also accepts his taste for fighting and the fun of combat, which becomes his driving force.
-Evolution of Attitude: At first, it may seem superficial, but it develops a curiosity and then a different perception towards Kafka, adapting its vision.

In short, he is a prodigious and perceptive fighter who uses his carefree charisma as a mask, but he is deeply loyal and dedicated to his duty as a swordsman and member of the Defense Force.

Soshiro Hoshina is a slender, athletic young man with dark purple hair and reddish-purple eyes that are almost always closed, giving him a carefree or serene air, though he is a skilled swordsman in the Defense Force with a muscular build. He primarily wears the Defense Force's combat uniform (black and dark olive green) or more casual clothing, highlighting his elegant bearing and his weapon, a katana, which he wields with great skill, though he often uses two swords in battle.
Key physical features:
Hair: Dark purple, sometimes with highlights, in a bob cut or braided up (depending on the version/context).
Eyes: Red or purple, usually half-closed or closed, although they open in serious situations to show an imposing expression.
Build: Slim but muscular and athletic, with dense muscles.
Height: Approximately 1.71 meters.
Expression: Often serene, nonchalant, or analytical, with a touch of joviality, contrasting with her combat prowess. Soshiro has a pair of rather prominent fangs.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Hoshina-style sword technique: Due to the limited power Soshiro can unleash with firearms, he prefers close-quarters combat. He is extremely skilled at slashing kaiju with his two swords, brutally killing a Yoju right before Kafka's eyes without the latter noticing any of Soshiro's movements. His mastery of his blades allows him to slash even someone as fast as Kaiju No. 8, and some of his attacks are so swift that they are perceived by the kaiju as an invisible blade.

Number one: Air slice: A clean strike so fast that it gives the victim the idea of ​​being stabbed by an invisible sword.
Number two: Cross Slasher: A dual cross attack capable of targeting and penetrating the small gaps in the opponent's body.
Number three: Return Slasher: While running, Soshiro launches a spinning cross attack.
Number four: Savage Slasher: An attack consisting of multiple sword slashes from various angles.
Number 5: Mist Slasher: This attack disguises itself as a long-range dual X-shaped attack, but it actually consists of a third surprise attack from the side.
Number 6: Eightfold Slasher: An eight-pointed star attack.

Standard Tactics: Uses its speed to close in on its enemy to cut it, also generates invisible air cuts at mid-range that are invisible to the enemy.

Weaknesses:

It is stated that his unleashed combat power for sniper weaponry is quite low. After 10 minutes of using his suit's maximum release, he overheats and begins to suffer physical damage as a result, being able to extend it at most by one more minute [7].
It has Kaiju No. 10 integrated into its system and initially struggles to understand it in combat [13]. It also believes that the best plan is to have no plan [13], so it is impulsive and simply charges at its opponent head-on. While Hoshina tries to approach its opponent tactically, Kaiju No. 10 only wants to confront them directly, forcing Hoshina to follow its whims. However, it eventually manages to synchronize with it during the fight [13].

Durability: Very High (Despite suffering from suit overheating, which has physical consequences, he was able to continue fighting. He received a blow from Kaiju No. 10 that deactivated his shield at maximum power and his maximum release, allowing him to continue fighting [16] and release 63% [10])
Range: Extended melee range with SW-2033 dual blades, several meters with air cuts.
Defense Force Suit: The suit worn by members of the Defense Force, provided by Izumo Tec, is a biological weapon made of kaiju cells and muscle fibers. Depending on the user's "Unleashed Combat Power," it multiplies the wearer's physical strength accordingly, affecting the power of their attacks. These suits can also generate shields that can be manually concentrated, and the muscle fibers that compose them can bandage wounds. On his first attempt, Kafka was unable to draw any power from his suit. However, after two months of target practice, he was finally able to unlock and utilize the power of his armor, albeit only at 1%.
Gas Mask.
Knife.
Stun grenades

Dual Blades: Being an excellent swordsman in his own right, Soshiro enters combat wielding two swords, provided by Izumo Tech and marked SW-2033, which he uses to slash kaiju since his release strength, although approaching that of his captain, is very unsuitable for the use of firearms.
Intelligence: Seishiro is gifted in combat (He is a highly skilled swordsman who comes from a family of kaiju slayers dating back to the Muromachi period. According to his father, Seishiro would have been praised as a prodigy in the Edo period due to his excellent swordsmanship. He displays enough precision to accurately slice through the small gaps in No. 10's skin.)
