== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
The Sujimon Sensei has a bald head and stubble, along with two prominent scars across his face. One scar goes from his forehead downward past his right eye to the right side of his face, and the other goes from his left eye down to the left side of his face.
=== Attire ===
The Sujimon Sensei wears black circle frame glasses, a gold chain necklace, a black dress shirt, a white double breasted lab coat, a red and gray pen in his coat's breast pocket, black slacks, and black leather oxfords.
=== Personality ===
Due to his rough upbringing, he views it as his duty to classify all Sujimon in order to protect society from their impact. He fears that people will go up to Sujimon out of sheer curiosity and pay the ultimate price, so he sends Kasuga and his party to go and classify them all in the Sujidex. After discovering all other Sujimon and returning to the Sujimon center, he reveals that he is the final Sujimon and challenges Kasuga and his party to a fight. After his defeat, he reveals that he has been a dirtbag, a dastard, and a devil from birth and he has done terrible things. To make up for his horrible deeds, he started his Sujimon research. He likes to believe that he turned over a new leaf, though the voices in his mind made him fight Kasuga and he apologizes. He gives him an Eye of the Dragon for completing the Sujidex, and declares him the next Sujimon Master.
