Personailty
The Captain of the Shadow of the Holy Sun believed that no individual had any value. He believed that only the team and the wider collective had true strength and propose. With the idea being that a group will always be able to come back together and being alone meant being disconnected from humanity. As a result, The Captain is mostly devoid of emotion and personal identity. Even when in exterme pain or ordering the murder of innocent people, his face does not convey feeling.

Despite these ideals, the Captain's hypocrisy is that he took personal pleasure in trying to break Five-Two's spirit and belittling him because the boy's strong sense of identity and curiosity angered the Captain. Even after years of separation, the Captain willingly abandoned his unit in the middle of battle to focus on slowly killing his follower subordinate to show that he is nothing more than a stay dog.

Abilities
Being a Third Generation, he could create flames to burn objects. He was also able to ignite his sword, using both his swordsmanship and power in combination. As the trained many of the other Shadows, the Captain knows how to counter most of their fighting styles and overpower them. However this faith in his knowledge causes him to underestimate their ability to grow or improve independently.

After Five-Two joined his organisation, he used violence to remind the boy that he was nothing special. A few years later, when Shō Kusakabe was kidnapped, the captain ordered his group to find and kill the baby, during which he was informed Five-Two had escaped their organisation. When the group learned where 52 was taking refuge, they killed the family that took him in.
