Name:Kazuma Sohma
Age:40 or older
When he was a child, Kazuma was mean to his grandfather, who was then the member of the Sohma family possessed by the cat of the Chinese Zodiac, during their first and only meeting simply because his grandfather was cursed by the cat. Hoping to make amends for how he had treated his grandfather, he decided to take care of Kyou after Kyou's mother had committed suicide. He is Kyou's martial arts teacher, but is also an adoptive father to him.
