Sōsuke Okita (沖田 総介 Okita Sōsuke) was a player in the real-life game of Btooom! who was Nobutaka Oda's old friend, but he is killed by him.

Appearance

Sosuke has a pale skin complexion and white buzz cut hair.

His attire consists of a suit and tie along with 2 earrings and a necklace. He also wears make up which makes Misako and Tsubone mistake him for a woman. Like any player of the Btooom! game, he has an IC chip implanted in his left hand and carries a bandolier, which is worn on his waist.

Personality

According to Nobutaka, Sosuke has a charismatic ability to befriend someone as well as communicating and helping them emotionally. This is demonstrated when Sosuke helps Misako with finding her central pillar.

History

During high school, Sosuke called Nobutaka a traitor.

Sosuke waited near Nobutaka who slowly wakes up in the cargo hanger of Tyrannos Japan's aircraft. Sosuke told Nobutaka that he liked his tattoo and pointed out that he's a host working at the Roppongi bar called "Jail." When asked by Nobutaka about his identity, Sosuke reveals his name and that he changed his appearance because he wanted to be this way. When Nobutaka interrupted him on where they are, Sosuke replied he had asked but no one knows. Sosuke then explains about his occupation, being an owner of a bar in Shinjuku where hia clients would gossip about a man with a tattoo on his left arm working at Roppongi bar. By using his more feminine instinct, he knew that they man they were taling about was Nobutaka. Once Takanohashi explains about the game, Sosuke founds it ridiculous to kill each other in a game of death with explosives. After everyone took their BIM and the aircraft opened up the hangar doors, Sosuke asks Nobutaka to form a team. Sosuke explains they have to cooperative to survive as anyone who is alone will be at a disadvantage. Nobutaka rejected the offer because they would have to get twice as many chips. Sosuke replies that it will be no problem if they work together as they are invincible. Nobutaka still says no and jumps out of the hangar.

Waiting for Nobutaka to pull himself over the cliff, Sosuke asked Nobutaka again about forming a team. To which Nobutaka reluctantly accepted Sosuke's offer. Sosuke introduced Misako and Tsubone whom he had befriended on the plane. Then, Sosuke took charge and ordered everyone to learn about their surroundings and secure a source of water as their first priority. Then, Tsubone confirmed there is a waterfall nearby. When Nobutaka reminded Sosuke about the girls and how IC chips they need, Sosuke stated he can't do much and reminded him that they have a numerical advantage with more people on their team. Nobutaka told Sosuke not to make him remember the past.

Later, Sosuke asked both Tsubone and Misako if they have a central pillar, something they put their life on the line. When Misako told him she has none and asked if Sosuke had a central pillar, Sosuke guesses a lover who accepts him for who he is. Then, Misako asked Sosuke about the central pillar, Sosuke explains people with strong pillars have a strong willpower to live on. Furthermore, Sosuke mentions he was trying to boost their spirits. Upon reaching the waterfall, Sosuke and the group sensed a radar wave which they also sense a group nearby, Yoshiaki Imagawa and an old man from Ookubo.

After being attacked, Sosuke yelled to everyone to stand and fight together. Yet, his cries didn't convince Misako and Tsubone who ran away. Nobutaka yelled to Sosuke that they have to retreat since they are not prepared to fight.
