## Personality

Juzo can sometimes be rude to others. This was shown when he insulted Jinya following the well-endowed Mayura. He idolize Miku Zeze and is loyal, while somewhat attracted to her. He can sometimes be reasonable and rational, when he suggested Rokuro retreat with his team.

## History

Juzo has been at service in Zeze House for a long time, as he processed an album recording Miku's growth.

## Plot

Juzo was first shown attending the Hadarae Castle Games and matched with Jinya Yosami. During the fight he insulted the Amawaka House being weaker and following an incompetent head. He used his unique skill to absorb Jinya's spell power, to unequip Jinya's enchantment. However, encouraged by his head Mayura, Jinya beated him by infusing lot of spell power, more than Juzo can manipulate.

Later in the "Yuto Ijika Crusade Mission", he was leading the Second Team of Zeze House to join with the others. When he and his five team members met the First Team of Enmado House, and Rokuro ruthlessly called him "Lolicon Head Bulter", he did not deny. They told Rokuro to retreat according to the orders of Exorcists Group. While Rokuro rejected, Juzo persuaded Rokuro that if Rokuro died in the mission, their hard working would be useless. Also he pointed out Rokuro's young Senka were already infused with fear.

After Rokuro is gone, Yuto Ijika appeared, killed all his team members and asked if Rokuro was there. Juzo told him Rokuro was already gone. Then he was killed too, only slightly harming Yuto.
