He was designed by Ayami Kojima as part of producer Koji Igarashi's desire to try a "different route" for the Castlevania series.

También aparece como personaje disponible en el videojuego crossover Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. Soma tiene una amplia gama de poderes y habilidades llamados "almas" que se clasifican como ofensivas, defensivas, o tácticas. Adquiere estas habilidades a través de su "poder de la dominación" - el poder de controlar y convocar a las almas de los monstruos derrotados. Soma lucha con una variedad de armas, incluyendo espadas, lanzas y hachas. Muchas de sus armas son las referencias a la mitología y el folclore, como Valmanway, Longinus, Excalibur, o Claimh Solais (incluso Guadaña Muerte). La Espada Látigo es una referencia a la tradición de la saga Castlevania presentar látigos como armas principales, pero es la única arma en el videojuego Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow que se asemeja a un látigo. Soma también puede utilizar pistolas, una granada propulsada por cohete, y un rifle positrón, en un interesante (y futurista) desviación en comparación otros videojuegos de la saga Castlevania.

His return in Dawn of Sorrow was due to Igarashi's satisfaction with Soma and the storyline in Aria of Sorrow, and he was recast with a new anime appearance. In Aria of Sorrow, Soma is a transfer student studying in Japan (or simply a Japanese high school student, in the Japanese version), where he finds himself in the castle of Dracula, the principal antagonist of the Castlevania series. Soma discovers his "power of dominance," or his ability to claim the souls and abilities of the monsters he defeats as his own. As the game's story progresses, Soma learns of Dracula's demise, and that he is destined to be the next Dracula (a position Graham Jones believed he held before he was killed by Soma). The only reason he did not become the next dark lord immediately was due to the efforts of Alucard, using the pseudonym Genya Arikado. Soma eventually defeats the chaos running through the castle, narrowly missing both his own corruption and his possible death at the hands of Julius Belmont. Dawn of Sorrow features Soma fighting the attempts of a cult to slay him and create a new dark lord when one did not surface during the events of Aria of Sorrow. Several video game publications have praised Soma's character. Although Soma himself was viewed as a stereotypical echo of previous Castlevania protagonists, the new context that the storyline Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow provided for him rectified this. The storyline in particular that Soma was situated in was compared to the storyline of the widely acclaimed Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The switch to an anime character design in Dawn of Sorrow was notably criticized, as many reviewers preferred the designs made by Ayami Kojima.

He is also a playable character in Harmony of Despair. Soma has a wide range of powers and abilities called 'souls' which are categorized as offensive, defensive, or tactical. He acquires these abilities through his "power of dominance" -- the power to control and summon the souls of defeated monsters. This is a derivation of Dracula's primary power, the ability to command monsters. Soma fights with a variety of weapons, including swords, spears, and axes. Many of his weapons are references to mythology and folklore, such as the Valmanway, Ronginus, Excalibur, or Claimh Solais (even Death's Scythe). The whip sword is a reference to the Castlevania series' tradition of whips as primary weapons, but is the only weapon in Aria of Sorrow that resembles a whip. Soma can also use handguns, an RPG, and a Positron Rifle, in an interesting (and futuristic) departure from other games in the Castlevania series. His first name, "Soma" means the entire body, referencing how he has the power of dominance. His last name is somewhat of a pun, Cruz is the Spanish word for Cross, which is commonly used against Vampires in fiction. His Japanese name is Kurusu Souma; Souma is his given name. The kanji that compose his name mean, in order, 'come/next' (kuru), 'by all means' (su), 'pale' (sou), 'truth/reality' (ma). Taken together, the name hints that he is the true inheritor of Dracula's power, and will definitely receive them. The kanji for 'pale', interestingly, is also used as a euphemism for being inexperienced or unripe. Soma has not yet reached his full potential.
