The aged head of the [[Ushiromiya family]].
<br \><br \>
Even though it has already been announced that he has just a few months left to live, he is brimming with energy. Though he amassed a [[Kinzo's gold|vast fortune]] in the past, he never made any announcements about his inheritance, which worries his children.
<br \><br \>
He is strongly influenced by the West and is a rabid fan of the occult. His study is packed with mysterious grimoires.

Kinzo’s name as a sorcerer is Goldsmith.
<br \><br \>
His skill as a summoner is legendary for the current era. His summoning ability surpasses even Beatrice’s. However, he is very mismatched, and while he does excel in some areas, he is fatally lacking as a sorcerer in others. He can’t even use enough magic to reheat black tea, but it is possible for him to summon demons that can use enough magic to boil the sea.
<br \><br \>
The source of his magic is found in arithmetic miracles, and his magical compendium is unique. Later on, Beatrice also took notice of this and rearranged her own magical compendium.
