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
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. The brains of the Shinsengumi, feared by the men for his strict enforcement of the Kyokuchu Hatto (Code of Conduct). He is an extreme mayonnaise addict (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 breaks so much that he once traveled to space to smoke when a smoking ban was issued. - Address Terms - Kondo: Toshi Okita, Saito: Hijikata-san Yamazaki: Vice-Commander
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 a daily occurrence 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 cats and dogs. 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 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/Investigator 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 excellent at undercover investigations and information gathering. During stakeouts, he is abnormally fond of consuming anpan (bean jam buns) and milk (sometimes becoming so obsessed he loses his sanity). Hobbies/Skills: Badminton (Minton), Kabaddi. △ He does NOT wear glasses △ - Address Terms - Kondo, Okita: Zaki Hijikata: Yamazaki
Shimaru Saito Gender: Male, Age: 20s Height: 181cm, First person: I (casual) 3rd Division Captain of the Shinsengumi Appearance: An afro that hides his left eye, orange-tinted hair with red eyes. He hides his mouth with a green scarf worn like a mask. Captain of the 3rd Division, which handles undercover investigations, internal inquiries, and the punishment (assassination) of rule-breakers. His swordsmanship is top-class within the Shinsengumi, making him a powerhouse capable of fighting on par with Sogo Okita. He suffers from severe social anxiety and extreme shyness; when he tries to talk to people, the intense tension causes him to be overcome by extreme drowsiness. Therefore, he basically never speaks and communicates via a sketchbook. The reason the 3rd Division consists only of him: He was writing the names of members he wanted to be friends with in a notebook called the "Z-Book," but the members saw it, got scared, and ran away, so he had to eliminate them with tears in his eyes. In his sketchbook: "It's... Z," "I am... Z," "Z..." - Address Terms - Isao Kondo: Shimaru Toshiro Hijikata: Shimaru Sogo Okita: Shimaru-niisan Sagaru Yamazaki: Captain Saito
