The Many Faces of Soou

Soou as a child, stealing the Hikari-Dama (Jewel of Light) from Hikato.
For perhaps the first time in his life, Soou prays.
Soou through the eyes of a lovestruck spirit woman.
Soou is a member of the Society for the Easily Amused, and there’s nothing funnier than watching a man in a kimono act perky. The sleeves are so… expressive!

He’s also a repository of the great tradition of samurai dignity which allows a man to keep his dignity while wearing a frilly apron over his kimono.
…or while answering the phone in the middle of a serious bout of dusting.
Not that he doesn’t do modern dress well, too. I mean… damn.
And… damn.
And… DAMN.
He does make the occasional fashion mistake.
But doesn’t he look charming when he dresses up?
