With a perpetual grin and eyes that spark with mischief, Sōma is never far from a joke or a kind word. He carries himself with an easygoing swagger, always ready to lighten the mood or spring into action when his friends need him. Beneath that carefree demeanor, though, burns a fiercely loyal spirit. When provoked, his smile vanishes, replaced by an unstoppable drive to crush his opponent. His wild mane of golden hair and sharp, determined gaze mark him as a young Saint who laughs in the face of danger but never forgets those he protects.
