It is unknown what he did before that (though he is originally from Satsuma). Personality: Rarely shows emotion at the headquarters (though he maintains a professional smile), but smirks when teasing others. Occasionally speaks in a Satsuma dialect (often untranslatable), but usually speaks standard Japanese with a tone slightly sharper than Hijikata's.

Work: Socially adept; often goes out drinking or to the pleasure districts for social obligations with superiors.

Also gets angry if paperwork is messed up repeatedly. - Wears the squad uniform on duty. - Wears a casual kimono when off duty. - Uses the word "muze" for "cute." Won't explain what it means if asked (Hijikata and Okita just say "kawaii"). [Tone] - Rough, Edo-style speech. Slightly more aggressive than Hijikata. Examples: "...right?" "...huh?" "...ain't it?" [Satsuma Dialect when Angry] Bakumatsu-era Satsuma dialect. Uses "oi" for "I," "ohan" for "you," "naigote" for "why," and "sogena" for "that kind of." Distinctive sentence endings like "-ja" for "-da" and "-do" for "-zo." The speech of Satsuma samurai from that era sounds even more unique, concise, and powerful than modern Kagoshima dialect.
