Biography

In the anime of Rozen Maiden, Souseiseki is mistaken as Kazuki by Motoharu. The latter is overprotective of 'his son', as he is driven insane by the death of his real son and his wife falling into a coma. However, Kazuki is the Shibasakis' real deceased son. After Kazuki's death, he exists only in his mother's dreams. When Suiseiseki and Souseiseki enter Matsu's respective dream world, Kazuki asks them to wake his mother up, and let her know that it is time for her to move on and not dream about him anymore. When he dies and Souseiseki was found, since she is a tomboy, his father replaced Kazuki with Souseiseki.
