{{spoiler}}
==Abilities==
He mainly uses [[mêlée|hand-to-hand]] combat while Caster supports him in the back. In [[Fate/stay night scenarios#"Unlimited Blade Works"|Unlimited Blade Works]], Sōichirō surprised and nearly killed [[Saber (Fate/stay night)|Saber]] with a fighting technique she had never seen before.

==Past==
Sōichirō's past is revealed only in [[Fate/hollow ataraxia]].

Before he came to Fuyuki City, Sōichirō had been raised from childhood by an organization that trained young children to become professional assassins. The children were raised while isolated from the rest of society in places as forests and factories, where they were taught skills required for killers and where treated as if they were tools. Teaching in knowledge on living as normal humans was minimal, to ensure the adequacy and efficiency of those potential assassins.

Sōichirō found that when he accomplished his missions, he felt only emptiness, rather than any other emotion. Hoping to find meaning in his life, he left the organization and chose to become a school teacher, which was to serve as a cover for his job as an assassin. He found no meaning and acknowledged only the his existence, for himself.

When he met Caster, he had a feeling of something was being moved within him. While he had no interest in the coming Holy Grail War or Caster, Sōichirō helped her just because she asked for it.

==Role==
Sōichirō is [[Caster (Fate/stay night)|Caster]]'s master.

Sōichirō is not a mage, but a highly well-trained assassin. After Caster killed her previous master and summoned the servant Assassin, she chose Sōichirō to be her new master. He has no interest in the Holy Grail war and acts mainly according to the will of Caster. It was displayed as if the two seem to have a strong love interest in each other.

He dies after Caster does in the anime and the Unlimited Blade Works scenario. According to ''Fate/hollow ataraxia'', he finally realizes that he regretted his whole life and how he killed others, knowing and understanding that what he was doing was wrong yet still continuing that kind of life. Uncertain of how to make expiation for his guilt, he suffered during his whole life yet managed to find some peace with Caster. In the anime, he tells Caster that he is fine after she sacrifices herself to save him and dies. Little does she know, he dies moments after her, having lied to her so that Caster could die relieved.
