Personality
Soul is a rather energetic girl who tries to follow everything that happens in the life of the class.

Soul has an incredible admiration for Might Guy, keeping his picture in her locket. She enjoys playing Extreme: Shinobi Picture Scrolls.

Soul is a girl with a narrow face, brown eyes, and brown braided hair. She wears an orange sweater and brown shorts.

Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
Soul attended the Academy opening ceremony as part of a new class. Her classroom was put under the care of new teacher Hana Kaka. Her class included many children of famous people, including the daughter of an acting duo, the daughter of the Seventh Hokage, and Kae Yukiwari, the princess of the Land of Bamboo. The class also included Kawaki, a noticeably older student.

Later, she attended a tea party at Kae's home. After Kae angrily scolded Osuka Kamakura for her forcing a friend to ruin the tea party, Soul and the other classmates openly applauded Kae, finding her true outspoken side more enjoyable than the prim and proper demeanour she had been hiding behind.

When Team 7 taught her class as special instructors, they had the class go though an exercise about fighting on an empty stomach. She got into a conflict with Ehō over whether Mimi eating a candy bar was beyond the scope of the exercise or defeating its purpose, with most of the class dividing themselves over those supporting her or Ehō. The next day, most of the students refused to have class together over the dispute. Hana later convinced to let go, pointing out the growth potential of having a friendly rivalry. The following day, she made up with Ehō and everyone attended Hana's cherry blossom viewing party.
