風間 翔一

The self-proclaimed leader of the Kazama Family. Given his role, the other members of the group have taken to calling him "Cap".

Unlike Gakuto and Takuya, Shouichi is still in that phase where he is not chasing skirts, but instead chasing adventure and things that he would find interesting. As such, he shows complete ignorance when it comes to romantic matters, which leads to some comic situations (ironically, all these involve girls that are attracted to him). Aside from that, he takes it upon himself to make sure the group is alright and is more than willing to put his own safety and well-being on the line for the family.

While not much of a fighter, he managed to earn Momoyo's respect when she challenged him for the leadership of the Kazama Family not long after she joined them. Even without any formal training, the fact that he refused to submit to her is what won him that bout.

He is often compared to the wind (a pun on his last name, which has the kanji 風, which means wind), going where he wants to go and doing what he wants to do, giving no room for argument once his mind is made up.
