Unwilling to be handed over to the Empire, Souma instead convinced the King of Elfrieden that it was possible to raise the money to pay the tribute, as well as implement reforms and plans to solve the food shortages, strengthen the army and improve the overall economy.

Shortly after the funeral, Souma was suddenly summoned to the Kingdom of Elfrieden, out of desperation, due to the kingdom's inability to pay for war tributes to the Gran Chaos Empire. Before his grandfather's death, he tells Kazuya to get married and live a fulfilling life. Kazuya is 19 years old modern Japanese person and a to-be-university student who just graduated from high school when his grandfather dies. When he learned the Mystic Wolf tribe were able to produce similar types of foods to that of Japan, he was happy that he could still eat dishes from his homeland. He himself admits he enjoys cooking and trying out new recipes along side Poncho. While Kazuya isn't a glutton, he tends to get passionate when it comes to food and cooking. He had also underestimated the scope of the corrupt nobles he had exiled from Elfrieden, and was only saved due to the plans of Georg Carmine and the power of the former Queen Elisha Elfrieden. His view on annexing only the city of Van left him unprepared to absorbing the entire country of Amidonia. Kazuya is not perfect by any means and still makes mistakes and overlooks some details. He is very caring of his Queen Consorts and follows the advice of his late grandfather to protect his family at all costs. Initially unsure of himself after suddenly being handed the crown of Elfrieden, Kazuya eventually gains confidence in implementing his reforms and advancing the standard of living for the citizens. Kazuya is considered, as the title goes, a realist and holds great respect for the writings of Machiavelli and Sun Tzu. When doing official work, like military campaign or travel, he dons the royalty military uniform of the Elfrieden Kingdom.

He normally wears basic trouser and white shirt with a blazer due to this being the clothing he was summoned in, he feels the most comfortable in it. His overall physical features are that of a standard Japanese man.
