Souma is an assistant professor majoring in Physics at Musashino University of Science.
He is a close colleague of Tetsuo Takahashi, who describes him as a "natural-born genius" and an "eccentric."
Souma has a very limited range of facial expressions, prompting others to say he "only has one expression."
Despite this, his handsome features make him quite popular among female students.
He is a romantic at heart and known for his unique outlook.
Souma dreams of removing the "F" from "Science Fiction" and making it reality.
After being introduced to Kyōko Machi, the Dullahan, by Tetsuo Takahashi, he becomes fascinated by her abilities.
He is hopeful that studying Machi’s unique condition could lead to breakthroughs like warp travel, time travel, or even psychic powers.
However, ethical concerns voiced by his professor have stalled his research ambitions.
Later, Souma suspects that one of his students, Yuki Kusakabe, might be a demi-human as well.
He also takes an interest in the Zashiki-warashi living with her as a housemate.
Together with Tetsuo Takahashi, he visits Yuki’s home and shares his theories on spatial perception.
In spin-off stories, Yuki Kusakabe often turns to Souma for advice and guidance.
