Tsuchida Souta

Tsuchida Souta (土田宗太, Tsuchida Sōta) also known as Renka (レンカ, Renka) is a character in Battle in 5 Seconds After Meeting series. He is a member of the Red Team.

Personality
He is shown as a sadistic person with great contempt for women, especially if they are pretty.

Plot
Upon entering the third program, Souta joined the Red Team, becoming one of its four main members in addition to the two leaders. He took advantage of the ability of one of the team's slaves to make toys real to use in conjunction with his own ability to control toys. Thus, he created a family-sized figurine of a girl that Chaen turned into a real person, allowing Souta to make the rest believe that the "Renka" figurine was his true body. Due to the need for proximity for Chaen's ability to take effect, she stayed close to Souta who remained hidden inside a box that she moved around.

When Rin Kashii joins the Red Team, Renka throws a knife at him showing his contempt for beautiful women, although Rin takes it quite naturally.

During the battle between the Green Team and the Red Team, Renka uses his army of toys to ambush the enemy, killing several of them. Mary Fukujuuji and Chou Koubun formulate a strategy to combine their abilities by tricking Renka with Chou's illusions by giving Mary the opportunity to catch up with Renka with her dolls from her. However, Renka manages to survive having her neck twisted and then stabs Mary with a knife.

Rin then appears and decides to confront Renka. During the battle, Rin manages to deduce the secret of her opponent's apparent immortality, killing the real Tsuchida Souta who was in hiding.

He is thus able to make everyone believe that the figurine, which he calls "Renka", is his real body.
