Soshiro (alpha)

Soshiro possesses a strong, yet hidden, sense of loyalty to those he considers important.

Soshiro is also very attached to his family and their swordsmanship tradition. His father's skepticism regarding his abilities and his feeling of inferiority in relation to his older brother, Soichiro Hoshina, led Soshiro to hone his swordsmanship and identify his entire being with the art of the blade.

Soshiro is an athletic young man of average height, with a small but muscular build, and short, dark violet hair in a bob cut. His red eyes (purple in the anime) are closed most of the time, and he always has a jovial expression on his face, except when serious situations cause him to display an imposing expression with his eyes open. He also has prominent fangs that appear when he speaks or laughs.

Soshiro is quite laid-back, always with a smile on his face; it is very rare to see him downcast. He seems to enjoy teasing others, especially Kafka Hibino, who considers him comic relief. [6] However, he has some serious moments where he speaks firmly and widens his eyes to emphasize the seriousness of his words. [14] Soshiro also enjoys teasing Captain Gen Narumi of the First Division. Despite Soshiro's relaxed and friendly appearance, he is very intelligent and intuitive.
