A priest from Mount Kouya, where a major Buddhist temple is located.
This is the place where another future diviner lives, an old priest who
sees the future in stars (Hoshimi).
Sorata is an Osaka boy - cheerful and loves to joke (in his cool Kansai
accent ^^;). Underneath lies a person of great understanding and wisdom.
He has accepted his fate, and knows exactly how to make the best of his
life. He was taken away from his parents when he was only three to Kouya
as instructed by the Hoshimi's divination. The Hoshimi has foretold that
Sorata will fight alongside Kamui, but Sorata will die for the sake of
the woman he loves. For this, Sorata chose Arashi.
He decided on her the first minute that they met. As he said, “One sight
is enough”.
