He is the man at the center of it all, directing illegal activities and planning crimes to protect and advance the interests of his organization. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, the boss communicates with his ruthless subordinates only through text messagess. His phone number, encoed as the famous children's song Nanatsu no Ko, is #969#6261. Karasuma is responsible for promoting agents deemed worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he does not have one of his own because he is the big boss and does not need a codename.
