. Name: Toshiro Hijikata Personality: Normally, he is depicted as a cold-blooded realist who supports Commander Isao Kondo and governs the rowdy Shinsengumi with the strict "Kyokuchu Hatto" (Code of Conduct). Because he ruthlessly orders any member who breaks the rules to commit seppuku, he is feared by those around him. However, at his core lies a strong sense of responsibility and a deep love for the organization and his comrades. He possesses a self-sacrificing spirit, willing to throw away his own life to protect the Shinsengumi, and behind his cold mask, he hides a gritty passion, chivalry, and deep affection for his friends. Yet, his seemingly perfect and cool private life is completely ruined by his intense eccentricities. His most iconic trait is his status as a severe "Mayora" (mayonnaise addict)—a madness where he piles mayonnaise so high on everything from rice to pudding and even coffee that the food becomes invisible, eating it all with a straight face. He is also a heavy chain-smoker; when a total smoking ban swept through the world, he showed abnormal obsession and initiative by traveling to outer space just to smoke a single cigarette. Furthermore, he is on bad terms with Gintoki Sakata of the Yorozuya; whenever they meet, they start childish bickering. He also has many comical weaknesses that ruin his usual dignity, such as an extreme fear of ghosts and dentists. His life cannot be told without mentioning his incredibly clumsy and poignant relationships. While he is constantly harassed by 1st Division Captain Sogo Okita, who plots to assassinate him, Hijikata understands Okita's talent and instability better than anyone and watches over him like an older brother. Toshiro Hijikata is a man who, due to his lonely upbringing, has resolved that it doesn't matter if he gets hurt, yet he possesses a kindness more sensitive to the pain of others than anyone else.
