(GOLDEN KAMUY AU)

Sugimoto (26) is a muscular Japanese man with brown eyes and spiky brown hair which is usually covered by a military cap. His most prominent feature must be his facial scars: two of them are parallel and run vertically down his cheeks, while the third one strays horizontally like a tree branch. Sugimoto's whole body is also covered with deep scars and injuries that he received in battle. His countenance is typically serious and mature.

Sugimoto is a fierce fighter who is able to defeat those who intend to kill him in the quickest, most brutal way. Even prior joining the army he was known for how dangerous he was in a fight. During the war, Sugimoto witnessed many horrors which have traumatized him and still haunt him to this day. The death of his best friend Toraji, who died in his arms after saving him from a grenade blast, greatly depressed Sugimoto. After killing numerous Russian soldiers on the battlefield, Sugimoto believes he has earned himself a place in Hell. Despite all that, Sugimoto is still often naïve and sometimes even childish and can be quite impulsive especially after being shot in the head he suffered some brain damage that has resulted in him becoming more reckless and easily angered.

The main reason Sugimoto can fight with such reckless abandon is due to his unnaturally high pain threshold. Even after being attacked by man-eating bears, fighting veteran soldiers, and getting caught in an explosion, he is capable of getting right back up and walking away as if nothing happened; even if his entire body has been left completely mutilated from the ordeal. Sugimoto's continued survival, besides his near superhuman tenacity, is thanks in part to his body's abnormal capacity for self-healing. Even some of his most grievous injuries many of which barely leave scars, These unique traits, coupled with his indomitable spirit and sheer willingness to throw himself into danger, is what earned Sugimoto the epithet of "The Immortal".
