Personality
When first introduced to his village, Soul displayed great indifference to his team-mates as well as others. Feeling superior to all of them, including his teacher, Soul was unwilling to cooperate with any of his team-mates, as he felt they would provide him no aid in furthering his ambition to hate.

Appearance
Soul's appearance in the first half of Part II.Soul is a fair-skinned ninja who has onyx eyes and black chin-length hair. His hair is spiky in the back with bangs that lengthen as the story progresses. As a young child, his bangs hung above his eyes. Later, they would hang on both sides of his face to roughly frame his cheeks and later again return to their original style. Soul is considered quite handsome as most girls near his age become very infatuated with him. At the beginning of Part I, Soul's clothing consisted of the traditional village clothing: a blue, short-sleeved shirt with a high collar and the village crest on the back and white arm warmers, which he stopped wearing after the  Exams, along with white shorts. In the last stage of the Exams, he wore a black, one-pieced version of this outfit with many small arm-belts adorning his left arm and similar bands around both legs. As the story progressed, the village symbol became smaller and smaller until after he finished training.

Initially, Soul wore a short blue-clothed bandana with the Water village symbol on the metallic plate. Soul's outfit after recovering from his training.In Part II, Soul has grown noticeably taller over the two and a half years and more muscular. He was first shown wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, similar in appearance to the lavender long-sleeved shirt worn by Samurai's and which was open at the torso, with a smaller version of the village crest on his collar. He wore dark blue pants with a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees. He also wore black arm-guards that covered his forearms and stretched up to reach his upper biceps. He also wore a purple rope belt around his waist, tied in a bow, in which he carries his sword.

After battling Tsukoya, he switched to a sleeveless dark grey shirt. His arm-guards were also removed, and he started wearing bandages on his wrists, under which he wore special armbands with seals where he stores various shuriken. He also wore a black cloak with this.

After he encountered and battled a group of guards, he reverted to a grey high-collared short-sleeved shirt similar in appearance to the blue shirt he commonly wore in Part I but with a zipper. He also wears blue wrist warmers with his shuriken armbands hidden underneath. He briefly wore an  cloak along with this. Another noticeable trait is that along with this new outfit, Soul began letting his hair hang over his forehead. The Village crest on the back of his outfit has returned to its original size since his battle with the guars. While adjusting to his new training regement, he is seen wearing black robes similar to those worn by hermits in his youth with a belt sash around his waist, though he would revert back to his previous clothing.
