Personality
Shogo was a very cocky individual who believed that he was one of the strongest there is and even equal to Hinata Sakaguchi.

He cared very little about other people with the exception of Kirara and Kyouya and hated his fate as a slave to a nation he cared very little about.

He was a very sadistic person, as noted when he thought that he could make Shuna and Shion his slaves and torture them until they cried and beg for forgiveness.

As seen in his actions during the invasion of Tempest and his fight against Geld, Shogo possessed a very childish view on combat and showed to actually throw tantrums like fits when his attacks have no effect, saying all the time that the Orcs should fight bare-handed due to him doing so despite their factions being at war due to his attacks having no affect against the Orc.

Later Shogo showed his cowardice by running away in terror after seeing Kyouya's severed head and later even stooped low enough that he had even killed Kirara to strengthen himself to fight against Geld. Upon being overpowered and slowly losing the fight against the Orc King, Shogo showed that he had no reservations to beg for his life and later stated that the massacre that occurred in Tempest by his hands were a "Joke", showcasing how little he cared for the atrocities he committed.

Background
Shogo was summoned when he was seventeen but he managed to defeat all 30 mages who summoned him immediately before being put under a cursed spell by Razen to serve as a living weapon for Falmuth.

Story
Shogo was ordered to provoke Jura Tempest Federation together with Kyoya Tachibana and Kirara Mizutani and managed to kill several of Tempest's citizens.

He fought against Shion and was having a hard time until a barrier summoned by Archbishop Reyheim drained her of her strength. With the Kijin seriously weakened he attempted to kill her only to got his face cut by one of her attacks. In that moment, Falmuth's reinforcements appeared and Shogo fled from the battle.

One week later he was guarding one of the crystals that maintained the barrier over Tempest. During his duel against Geld he was losing badly. He fled in terror when he saw Kyoya's head to his tent to kill Kirara in order to boost his strength and also gained a new Unique Skill: Survivor. But even that was not enough to defeat Geld.

He was saved and managed to escape together with Razen, but was instead killed by his savior as Razen took his body and abilities.

Abilities
Shogo practiced Karate ever since childhood and he was proficient enough that with the aid of his Unique Skill, he was able to defeat 30 mages single-handedly.

Etymology

 * The name Shogo means "soar, glide, fly" (翔) (sho) and "I, me" (吾) (go).
 * Shogo's surname Taguchi means "field, rice paddy" (田) (ta) and "mouth, entrance" (口) (kuchi/guchi).
 * Shogo's death is portrayed differently in the anime and manga.
 * In the Manga, Razen and Folgen revealed to Shogo that the real reason to his and the other otherworld summons was to be "materials" to further empower Folgen due to his unique skill, "Spearhead" that allowed him a chance to "inherit" the unique skills of any of his subordinates provided they die in front of him. Folgen would then detain Shogo as Razen killed his soul to take his body for himself as Shogo begged him to stop.
 * In the Anime, after being saved by Razen, Shogo was killed by him after he tricked Shogo into a false sense of security due to Razen falsely offering to use healing magic on him but in truth used soul destruction magic to destroy his soul and take his body for himself.
