He is a sophomore in Class A of the Graad Foundation International Private University affiliated High School and his specialty is playing the piano. After dying in a boat accident, Shōichirō is chosen as the bearer of the Celestial Star of Ferocity (天 猛 星, Tenmōsei) becoming the Wyvern Specter, one of the 108 Specters that make up the army of Hades, the god of the Underworld.

Personality
He is described as tough but yet lovable. At school, Shōichirō plays the piano for a group of students, who seem to enjoy music.

History
Soichiro was a physically weak child, who used to get into trouble with other children and needed his brother Sōjirō and his friend Cattleya to come to defend him. The three spent much of their time together, having fun in various activities.

Years later, Shōichirō prepares for the first day of school of that year. Outside his house, Cattleya and Sōjirō prepare a surprise for him, because he hadn't seen his brother in a long time. As he leaves his house, he meets Cattleya who points out the address where his brother was hiding. Shōichirō is surprised to see his brother's uniform, as he believed that he would go to a different school, but Sōjirō tells him that the message he sent was a lie and they will actually go to the same school. The three of them shared the joy of being together again and talk about the things that happened during the time they were apart. As they walk to school, Shōichirō feels as if someone is watching them, but decides to think that it was his imagination.

Shōichirō travels by boat with other students on a foreign league tour. As night falls, Shōichirō has a glass of wine while he watches the sea, but notices Yoruhime watching him and begins to wonder if he did something to offend her. Cattleya and Sōjirō approach him to chat, in the conversation they ask him if Yoruhime likes him, without really answering the question he answers that she always has a sad look. As Julius makes a speech, Masaki walks over to greet Shōichirō, who remembers how he struck and seriously injured an opponent in karate practice. Masaki asks him if he plans to return to the karate club, but Shōichirō explains that he decided not to return. A black cat starts causing a mess and approaches Yoruhime. Sōjirō grabs her brother and throws him in the direction of the girl for help. Shōichirō calms the cat down and starts talking to Yoruhime, but they are interrupted by the cat's owner. The tranquility of the place stops when a pillar of light hits the ship, sinking it. Yoruhime is about to fall overboard, but Shōichirō holds her, although this does not prevent both from falling into the sea, as they both sink, Shōichirō begins to wish for something that will make him stronger to save Yoruhime and, right at that moment appears the image of a Wyvern that devours both.

After the accident, Shōichirō is surrounded by darkness and a mysterious voice tells him that he is dead, but thanks to that he will be able to wake up as the Celestial Wyvern Star. Shōichirō wakes up in a bed and sees that Yoruhime is sleeping on the side. When Yoruhime wakes up she asks him how she feels, to which Shōichirō replies that he is in perfect condition, so they decide to go for a walk outside the house. Yoruhime takes the opportunity to explain that he had slept for a year and that place is the land of the dead known as Elysion. Surprised by what he just heard, he looks around to confirm that it really does look like paradise. Yoruhime tells him that Elysion was a place where only the gods could enter, but now it is different and because of this the power of a certain person is diminishing. Shōichirō wishes to know the fate of his brother and his friend, but Yoruhime tells him that they survived because they are not in that place. These words make Shōichirō feel relieved and he begins to consider that living in that place with Yoruhime can be a pleasant experience. However, Yoruhime tells him that this paradise will soon disappear and the dead that inhabit it will also disappear and, to prevent that from happening, they have to see a person. Inside a Temple they meet a handsome young man, who calls Souchiro Wyvern.

The two young men meet Hades, and after a little introduction, the god tells them that Athena will wake up soon, so they must kill her as soon as possible, otherwise she will destroy Earth and Elysion. Upon exiting the Temple they meet Zhu, who introduces himself as Harpy's Specter. Zhu mocks Yoruhime's closeness with Shōichirō, and invites the two to a sauna session. In the sauna room, Zhu approaches Shōichirō to ask him to explain everything he understood, but realizes that he is hardly awake like Specter. So she and Yoruhime begin to explain to him that Hades and Athena lived in harmony, but recently, Athena destroyed the Underworld by exterminating the souls and Specters that were there, so Hades had to use his powers to transport ordinary people to the Elysion. And now he's looking for dead talents to bring back the Specters from him. So they must go ahead and kill Athena to dominate the world of the living, in this way they can save it.

As they prepare to travel to Earth, Shōichirō feels uncomfortable because the portal is in a lake, but Zhu holds Shōichirō and Yoruhime by the arm to fly them to the lake. Because Athena's powers are still weak, they were able to teleport in front of her Temple on the Sanctuary chasm. Before entering, Yoruhime hands Shōichirō a dark arrow with the power of Hades to kill a god like Athena. Shōichirō still has doubts, so Zhu tells him that his accident was caused by the "purifying flames" that Athena launched on Earth, which continued until the world was destroyed. Shōichirō decides to kill Athena to protect the loved ones from her and summons the arm of the Surplice from her to attack with the arrow, but the Saint of Gemini stops him. When he looks at the face of his enemies, Shōichirō realizes that the Saint is Sōjirō and Athena is Cattleya
