"Continue, if that's what you want. But this will be the end of your mission."

- Sōya Kazama to her team

Sōya Kazama is the A Class leader of Kazama Unit and Rank #2 Attacker. Due to his actions, he is an antagonist of the Black Trigger Retrieval Arc, but later becomes a supporting character. He is also one of the eleven candidates for Yūichi Jin's Fūjin.

Appearance
Kazama has chin-length and spiky black hair. He is quite short, despite his age.

In his Trigger Mode, like the rest of his Unit, he wears a navy blue shirt and a black shrug jacket and a cross running through the front of his shirt (including the jacket), and black boot pants. It has a Border emblem on each sleeve.

Personality
Kazama is a calm and reserved person. He only talks if he has something important to say. He's very proud, refusing to battle Yūma due to him not being a regular agent. He is also a very good tactician.

Shirō Kikuchihara
Kazama is the one who invited Kikuchihara to join Kazama unit, while others acted as though Kikuchihara's Side Effect was useless. Kazama believed that Kikuchihara's Side Effect was useful and invited him to his squad.

Kaho Mikami

Shiori Usami
The first Kazama Unit operator. It seems as though Shiori has a good relationship with Kazama. When Kazama brought Kikuchihara, Shiori was the one to praise his side effect.

Osamu Mikumo
He is genuinely interested in Osamu's growth and unique fighting style, often commenting on it.

Yūichi Jin
They seem to have a good relationship, despite their differing personalities and what their interactions imply.

Yūma Kuga
He seems to be interested in Yūma too, but he refuses to battle Yūma until he's an A-Class Agent.

Quotes

 * (To Yūichi Jin) ""Except for mock battles, fights between fellow Border agents are strictly forbidden". Are you prepared to receive a severe punishment for this violation of the units' duty regulation, Jin?"


 * (To Kyōsuke Karasuma about Osamu Mikumo) "He's weak. His Trion and physical ability are just barely acceptable. I can't feel the talent that Jin sees in him. But he understands his weaknesses well, and he uses his head to strategize and read opponents because of it. I don't dislike that scheming, intelligent way of fighting."


 * (To Shirō Kikuchihara) "Other units trust 80% of their perception in their vision. We'll have an incredible advantage over them. When you become an official agent, join my unit. We need you."


 * (To Kikuchihara and Utagawa) "Continue, if that's what you want. But this will be the end of your mission."


 * (To Kaho Mikami) "When you use bail-out, you can't fight again until your battle body recovers. But if you withdraw, you might still be useful elsewhere. They should know this... Rookies..."


 * (About Osamu's defeat) "I mean he should do his job as captain."
