He is also the current leader of the, having served in the division for the past two centuries, and having lead the group for the past twenty years. He is the half-brother of, though the two siblings do not get along and are no longer on speaking terms.

Appearance
Sōjiro has the appearance of a tall, muscular young man with lightly tanned skin. His well muscled body is covered in a number of scars, the most prominent one stretching from his left shoulder to his right hip, received at the hands of his father many years ago. Another scar runs down his left eye. But physically his most remarkable feature is his cropped green hair, being the only one of his siblings to have inherited the trait from his mother. He hair is kept short and is kept in a spiky and slightly slicked back manner. He also wears three identical golden earrings on his left ear.

Sōjiro is most often seen smiling and his black eyes have a glint about them as if he is about to tell a joke at any moment. Despite his scars and muscular build, his ever smiling nature makes him appears friendly and approachable. But when he becomes serious he can scare people with a glare alone, and his scars greatly add to the overall aggressive and combative nature of his appearance.

He is normally dressed in a long, dark-green coat that is open but for the red sash tied around his waist which holds it in place. He wears no shirt below the coat and sports a dark green colored pair of pants and black boots. He also wears a green haramaki under the coat. He also has a black piece of cloth tied around his left bicep. His swords are kept tucked into the sash around his waist, on his right side.

While in his gigai he wears a pair of black trousers, tucked inside black boots, a plain shirt and his green haramaki. His three earrings are also present, though for some reason the scar on his left eye is absent.
