Season 0
Steven Sonozaki is the Patriarch of the Sonozaki Family. Originally a family based in Hinamizawa, when Steven became patriarch, it became one of the most powerful and respected organizations with full control over Hinamizawa and its surroundings.

When the Sonozaki main house was moved to Coolsville, Steven quickly made himself of many foes, as well as allies, and establishing the Sonozaki Family as a powerful force in Coolsville. Some call him the most feared and respected man in all of Coolsville.

Episode 5

Kasai Tatsuyoshi, the Sonozaki's captain, brings two guests who wish to speak with him, and as Steven is a champion but more importantly humble, he accepts. Although the suited fellow doesn't speak much, his friend tells him he's being spied on with a GPS device, as is natural of his enemies to try an underhanded trick knowing they can't beat him in an honorable fight; he asks how they came to know this, and they tell that it used to be on an "Ada Wong" acquaintance of them, which Steven remembers as a girl he had a private meeting with who was wholly inferior to the Japanese he's used to, despite his many partnerships with the Chinese. As for tracking him, he laments the woes of being such a badass and thinks a few people will need their punani snatched.

The man wonders where the girl could be, and although, Steven does not know, through his way of driving tanks through people's homes he has made many foes, but many allies as well, which includes a long-lasting friendship with the biggest info broker in Coolsville: A man who deliver information from a cage known as The Cagist, known to dwell where no man has before put foot on, a decrepit place known as NXT. These directions to the men are as thanks for the information they have given him, and his grand compassion. Once they leave, he's free to keep perfecting his usage of japanese weapons.

Episode 7

In the past, he had a match against Kiryu Kazuma... a match that changed the young man's life.

Episode 8

In the past, when Shimano was threatening Cagist for some information he dealt and was about to shave his head "beyond bald", Steven Sonozaki showed up and stopped him, saving the Cagist's life by heroically stalling Shimano with all his might.

Episode 9

In the past, long before the Sonozakis were as powerful as today, Steven met with a wrestler who had a promising career, and had a match with him that would change his life: he came to understand the art of obsessing over a woman. He even let him have a win over him to push his career further, and it would lead him to hit gold...

Steven and Kasai were at the Eden of Coolsville (as proven by Tomitake's photographs) before the truck hit the building. According to Date, Steven was left bedridden likely by the accident, and Kasai took him to the Sonozaki residence.

Episode 10

On the Sonozaki Residence, Kiryu finds out Steven is very sick, and he almost can't believe a man who could survive helicopter machine-gun fire would, somehow, fall ill. Kiryu and Kasai talk about recent events and Kasai mentions the Shimano family being on the move, likely because of Steven's condition, and that this might be the Sonozaki's greatest conflict yet. But somehow, that's not what's bothering Kasai, because something more terrifying than even that has surfaced; the thing that was found near the are where Steven lost consciousness was... a Keyboard.

Episode 12

Steven and Shimano were once partners and their families allies, but one night at the Eden, they had their first major disagreement; Steven was a generous man, he opened an orphanage for children lost in life and had Kasai manage it while he spent his day worshiping glorious Nippon. Meanwhile, Shimano became obsessed with power and money, and so the Shimano Family turned into their greatest enemies.

Steven doesn't teach the full power of the sacred art of Aikido to but the most important of his disciples, one of them being Matou Kariya before he died in the Millennium Tower incident, and the other being the legend known as the Dragon of Kojima, Kiryu Kazuma.

He was also present when Chuck inaugurated his club, bringing with him the tank which with he raided a wrestling promotion back in the 60s.
