When Soutarou was young, his mother left home after becoming unhappy with his father.
His father told him that his mother had "broken" and that women can be fragile and easily hurt.

Trying to Stop More Girls at School
After Misaki Ayuzawa became the student council president, Seika High School’s reputation improved, and more girls started attending.
Soutarou, who is afraid of girls, tried to stop this by using hypnosis on Misaki and the student council.
He even tried hypnosis on Takumi Usui, but it did not work.
All his other plans failed too.
Punishment and Facing His Fear
As punishment, Soutarou had to help at a school tour event with girls.
This was actually a plan by Misaki to help him get used to being around girls and to face his fear.
Soutarou became popular with male students and was even considered a rival to Misaki Ayuzawa in the student council election.
Some students believed he had "tamed" Shōichirō Yukimura and expected big things because of his father's background and his impressive appearance.
The class he is put in after advancing in school is unknown.
