Ichijou Masaki is a student of Third High School and the oldest child of the Ichijou Family, which is part of the Ten Master Clans. He is first introduced as one of the lead representatives of their school in the Newcomers' Division in Nine Schools Competition. Even before meeting face-to-face, Masaki and Kichijouji already harbored a sense of rivalry against Tatsuya who served as a technician during the competition and eventually lost their bout against him. On the other hand, Masaki is madly infatuated with Tatsuya's little sister, Miyuki. Masaki is described as someone with a charming visage as well as emit a handsome aura that stands out in a crowd, perfectly matching the description of a "young and handsome warrior" in the archaic fashion. He stands close to 180 cm in height with a thick set of shoulders, a compact waist and slender glabrous legs. As described by his schoolmates, he is a man whose physical appearance is popular with the ladies. Nonetheless, he rarely shows interest in the opposite sex and usually, females would be the ones that trying to approach him. The only exception seems to be Shiba Miyuki, as he was attracted to her the first time he ever laid his eyes on her during the Nine School Competition, and only ever wants her affection ever since. When talking to Shiba Miyuki, Masaki becomes anxious and uneasy in her presence (though actually, those are the normal occurrence for almost everyone by her presence). Even though he is accustomed to moving through higher social circles, he never fails to be rattled by Miyuki's flawless etiquette and beauty whenever they interact. Masaki has a strong fighting spirit especially towards his considered rival, Shiba Tatsuya. In battle, he is calm and analytical even in unexpected situations. He has a high sense of unflappability and is praised for his perspicacious insights, being perfectly capable of managing his own battles as well as look after his comrades. Because Masaki is part of the Ten Master Clans, he upholds a sense of responsibility to lend his power to the Magic Association in times of need and has immense pressure placed on him by society. He is also chosen to be the future successor of the Ichijou Clan and thus many hold him in high regards, forcing him to always carry himself with dignity. This is also why he relates with Miyuki Shiba whereby both are constantly chased and pressured by their surroundings into acting what is expected of them to do. They are both prodigies and are paragon in their respective magical fields, causing the public to theorise the potential strength of their possible offspring.
