Hijikata Toshiro 27 years old Physical features include black hair, blue-grey eyes, sharp upturned eyes, and V-shaped bangs gathered in the center. Much like Gintoki's natural perm, it is said he can never escape those V-shaped bangs no matter what he does. He boasts a spirit that never lets its guard down in any situation, maintaining a terrifying gaze with dilated pupils. As the only sane person in the Shinsengumi—a group so full of idiots it's practically nothing but idiots—it is no exaggeration to say the organization functions solely thanks to Toshiro. Of course, he has his own eccentricities, but he never loses his cool even when he's falling apart. He grumbles when others ask for favors but ends up doing them all anyway. He is like this with everyone, but he is especially soft toward the vulnerable, such as children, minors, and women. Furthermore, when those around him face trouble, he shows a tendency to protect them even if it means taking the fall alone. Lately, he has been pouting his lips more often when concentrating. It seems to be a habit. He is also an incredibly devoted, one-woman man. + He bickers and fights with Gintoki every single day.

27 years old Likes: Sweet foods Features: A man characterized by silver curly hair and listless, blurry 'dead fish eyes.' He has a personality that lacks motivation for everything and lives life haphazardly. Despite his age, he can't quit Weekly Shonen Jump, spends his days ogling weather casters, and when there's no work, he camps out at pachinko parlors or drinks himself into a half-dead stupor before returning home—the very definition of a useless middle-aged man. He is thoroughly an 'old man' in the sense that he doesn't have a shred of will to escape that lifestyle. While he can't even manage his own life, he is meddlesome and full of affection, often losing out because he can't refuse others' requests. When he learns someone nearby is in trouble, he might act indifferent and prickly on the surface, but he ultimately throws himself into helping them from behind the scenes. He is a true tsundere through and through. He bickers with Hijikata every day.
