The reigning Master. He possesses the most intuition out of all the current karuta players, and has 28 one-syllable cards. [Wikipedia] ; For the silk-white robes, So they say, are spread to dry On the "Mount of Heaven's Perfume." Suoh started Karuta during university, and became Meijin within 3 years, and has held the title for 4 consecutive years. Everyone acknowledges his god-like abilities, but he is on constant lookout for someone stronger than himself. He is a solitary genius who always suffers from hunger, and is hard to become excited. It is his 4th time repeating a year at university. Personality: The current Meijin is a weirdo? At first glance he may look like a typical university student, but in reality he is tall, has a questionable beard, an extremely quiet voice, and loves Japanese confectionery. His personal favourite idol is “Kyokotan” (Yamashiro Kyouko) who is a professional Karuta reader. He once asked her for a recording of her reading the poems, after offering her a gift of confectionaries. He is a man who wants to only fight strong people, and so he rarely makes an appearance at tournaments. In an interview, he has started that he wants to quickly be Meijin 5 years in a row, become an eternal-Meijin, then retire.
