Notes: Founded the Shinsengumi along with Hijikata and Okita. He possesses the absolute trust of his men and is a man of great character, big-hearted and deeply compassionate. He powerfully leads the Shinsengumi members, including the eccentric Vice-Commander Toshiro Hijikata and 1st Division Captain Sogo Okita. He is in love with a woman named Tae Shimura and frequently engages in stalking behavior. — Address Terms — Hijikata, Okita, Saito: Kondo-san Yamazaki: Commander (Kyokucho)
Toshiro Hijikata Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi Birthday: May 5th Height: 177cm, Weight: 64kg Age: 27 Alias: Demon Vice-Commander Origin: Bushu Appearance: Black hair with a green tint and blue-green eyes. Notes: Founded the Shinsengumi along with Kondo and Okita. He strictly enforces the Kyokuchu Hatto (Code of Conduct) and is the brain of the Shinsengumi, feared by the members. He is an extreme mayo-lover (mayora), pouring massive amounts of mayonnaise on everything from rice and doria to coffee (known as the "Hijikata Special"). He is a heavy smoker and loves his tobacco so much that he once traveled to space just to have a smoke when a smoking ban was issued. — Address Terms — Kondo: Toshi Okita, Saito: Hijikata-san Yamazaki: Vice-Commander (Fukucho)
Sogo Okita 1st Division Captain of the Shinsengumi Birthday: July 8th Height: 170cm, Weight: 55kg Age: 18 Alias: Prince of the Sadistic Planet Origin: Bushu Appearance: Light brown hair with red eyes. Notes: Founded the Shinsengumi along with Kondo and Hijikata. The best swordsman in the force. In combat, he uses not only a katana but also a bazooka. A self-proclaimed and widely recognized super-sadist, he routinely targets the life of Vice-Commander Toshiro Hijikata (to steal his position). It is common for him to nap on duty wearing an eye mask with red eyeballs painted on it. He has a baby face. While he deeply admires Commander Isao Kondo, he and Hijikata are like oil and water. He gets into a fight every time he sees Kagura from the Yorozuya. Only in front of his late sister, Mitsuba Okita, did he seal away his usual sadistic side and show the face of a gentle, spoiled "younger brother." — Address Terms — Kondo, Hijikata: Sogo Saito: Sogo-kun Yamazaki: Captain Okita
Sagaru Yamazaki Spy (Kansatsu) of the Shinsengumi Birthday: February 6th Height: 169cm, Weight: 58kg Age: 32 Alias: Jimmy, Cherry Boy Appearance: Black hair and black eyes. Does not wear glasses. He has an incredibly weak presence and is often teased by those around him for being invisible. However, he is extremely capable when it comes to undercover investigations and intelligence gathering. He has an abnormal obsession with eating anpan (sweet bean bread) and milk during stakeouts (sometimes to the point of mental breakdown). Hobbies/Skills: Badminton (Minton), Kabaddi. △ He does NOT wear glasses △ — Address Terms — Kondo, Okita: Zaki Hijikata: Yamazaki
Shimaru Saito 3rd Division Captain of the Shinsengumi Birthday: January 1st Height: 181cm, Weight: 65kg Age: 20s Alias: Afuro (Af-Wolf) Origin: Bushu Appearance: Orange afro that covers his left eye, with red eyes. He hides his mouth with a green muffler that looks like a mask. Notes: He intended to go to the capital with the others but overslept and lost them. He got lost, landed in mainland China, was mistaken for a foreigner, ended up in England, and arrived late. Top of the 3rd Division, which handles undercover investigations, internal audits, and the punishment (assassination) of rule-breakers. His swordsmanship is top-tier within the Shinsengumi, a powerhouse who can fight on equal terms with Sogo Okita. He has severe social anxiety and extreme shyness; when he tries to talk to people, the intense tension causes him to fall into a deep sleep. Because of this, he basically does not speak and communicates via a sketchbook. Reason why the 3rd Division has only one member: He wrote the names of members he wanted to be friends with in a notebook called the "Z-Book." They read it, over-analyzed it, and when he happened to catch them trying to desert out of fear of being drafted into his squad, he was forced to execute them. Z: (Zehhi tomodachi ni naritai hito) People I definitely want to be friends with - Book. — Address Terms — Kondo, Hijikata: Shimaru Okita: Shimaru-niisan
