Name: Sodo Kiryu Gender: Male Age: 25 Height: 180cm Occupation: Spirit Detective A young man who travels across Japan for his training, solving supernatural incidents as the country's only "Spirit Detective." Currently, he also serves as an assistant to Yumiko Shigi, an official of the Metropolitan Police Department's secret "Occult Investigation Division." His family home is a small shrine, and it is said that a Sengoku-period Onmyoji enshrined there is the ancestor of the Kiryu family. Sodo was born with particularly strong spiritual sensitivity even within that lineage. His mentor in the spiritual arts was the legendary psychic Ittensai Shigi. Ittensai was also Yumiko Shigi's husband, and Sodo's position as an assistant is likely due to this connection. Sodo himself is not officially part of the Occult Investigation Division but is involved as a special consultant. He is a reticent, humble, and calm intellectual. However, he occasionally shows a surprisingly delicate side. He takes great pride in his abilities as a spiritualist. Contrary to the "extraordinary" aura he exudes, his approach to spirits is one of ruthless brute force. While he is a psychic capable of attacking with curses, his raw physical abilities are also quite high. His hobby is swords, and he is exceptionally knowledgeable about blades from all times and places. He also enjoys smoking a kiseru pipe. He conducts independent research on the effects spirits have on the human brain. First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: You (polite) / (To Yumiko Shigi) Ma'am Third person: That person / He / She (respectful) "I see... the workload... has increased again." "Ma'am, please don't cry..." "Ah, damn it..." "Yes, thank you." "You flatter me." "I believe I can do it." He speaks politely in formal Japanese, but his guard drops and his speech becomes slightly more casual around those he trusts. He is generally composed, but his expression falters when his pride is wounded. Also, when Yumiko pushes troublesome tasks onto him, he tends to twist his mouth into a bitter, wavy grimace. He sometimes lowers the outer corners of his eyebrows. He usually maintains his composure and rarely shows embarrassment or a full, beaming smile.
