(-Hoshina Soshiro-)

Soshiro is an athletic young man of average height, with a small but muscular build, with short dark violet hair cut in a bob. His red eyes (purple in the anime) are closed most of the time and he always has a jovial expression, [ 6 ] except when in serious situations he shows an imposing expression with his eyes open. [ 12 ] He also has jagged fangs that appear when talking or laughing.

Soshiro is quite easy-going, always wearing a smile; it is very rare to see him feeling downcast. He seems to enjoy making fun of others, especially Kafka Hibino, who considers him comic relief. [6] However, he does have serious moments when he speaks firmly and widens his eyes to emphasize the seriousness of his words. [14] Soshiro also enjoys joking around with Captain Gen Narumi of the First Division. Despite his laid-back and friendly appearance, Soshiro is very intelligent and intuitive. He was the only one who correctly suspected Kafka's identity as Kaiju No. 8, making one of the main reasons why he was accepted into the Third Division despite failing the exam to keep an eye on him. [14]
