Soushi Miketsukami

Soushi Miketsukami is the main male protagonist from the Inu x Boku SS anime and manga.

Soushi is a nine-tailed spirit fox and, like the other members of the SS, is of ayakashi-human ancestry. Of them all, he is the most powerful. Soushi is usually calm, polite, and gentle to everyone, with a special soft spot for Ririchiyo Shirakiin. He blindly obeys her like a "dog" and always tries to protect her, even if his own life is at risk. He once served Kagerou Shoukiin.

He was killed in action at the end of Part 1, at age twenty-three, while protecting Ririchiyo from a band of evil youkai. He is reincarnated but does not remember his previous life. After learning from Kagerou's mother how important Ririchiyo was for the previous Sōushi, he does some research and decides to become her SS agent again.

Appearance
Soushi Miketsukami is a tall, handsome young man with white hair, pale skin, and two different colored eyes: his left, gold, and the right, blue. His SS Uniform consists of a black suit, gray under-shirt, and maroon tie. He wears black half gloves.

When Soushi Miketsukami changes form, cherry blossoms explode around him - they resemble a pink feather boa in the anime - but this is temporary. His body gains nine fox tails, fox ears, and his clothes change entirely. In this form, he wears a white and black Japanese hakama and trousers with a blue sash and wields a katana.

Personality
Before Soushi met Ririchiyo, he was a person with no identity, no sense of self, no feelings. To gain his freedom from the twisted household that never gave him the nurturing he needed to develop feelings, he created a persona that allowed him to fit naturally into any type of situation; targeting ever more powerful women of the house to help him achieve his goal. As he wrote letters to Ririchiyo at his former master Kagerou's command impersonating Kagerou, Soushi found himself changing. He realized he was becoming a kinder person, someone who could feel, because of this interaction with Ririchiyo - at first only from imitating her, and later noticing his own unique feelings.

Currently, he is calm, sweet, caring, possessive, and a little self-defeating. Despite his innocent and collected demeanor he is shown in later episodes to be a pervert. He is clearly obsessed with Ririchiyo, as evidenced by the huge poster of her he keeps in his secret room. Soushi's compassion-fueled willingness to do anything for her is demonstrated by his response to the two men who insulted her.

Trivia
