Kiruma Souichi (切間 創一きるま そういち, Kiruma Sōichi; "Souichi Kiruma") is the current Royal Leader (お屋形様, oyakatasama) of Kakerou and one of the most important characters of Usogui. His public persona is Hachina Naoki (蜂名 直器はちな なおき, Hachina Naoki; "Naoki Hachina"), who has a position in the Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office (CIRO). Hachina is also one of the people behind the creation of the ACIA.
In 1998, Souichi met Madarame Baku at a bookstore where they had a gamble against each other, with Souichi ultimately losing, which was the first gamble he had ever lost. Souichi became friends with him, and Baku started calling him "Hal", after the character from 2001: A Space Odyssey.[citation needed]
On April 9th, 2001, Madarame Baku unknowingly challenged him (as the Leader of Kakerou) in the "Surpass the Leader" game. Baku bet on everything while Souichi's position as Royal Leader was on the line. Madarame ended up losing the challenge and his life itself became forfeit. However, Souichi didn't "feel like taking it", so Madarame's life wasn't collected at that time.
