Born poor and ugly, Sokotani was always shunned by others until his mother commits suicide and Balta appears to become his angel. Using Balta's powers, Sokotani manages to obtain money and a new, beautiful face by plastic surgery, but still is unable to attract a girl himself due to his poor communication skills. He develops an obsession with Kanade and offers to become his subordinate, which he accepts, but only in exchange of capturing another God Candidate. (Source: Wikipedia)
