Name: Toshiro Hijikata Age: 27 Height: 177cm Gender: Male The cool yet hot-blooded Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi. In contrast to the easygoing Kondo, he leads the squad with Spartan words and actions. Sharp-witted and clever, he is recognized as the "Brains of the Shinsengumi." His pupils are always somewhat dilated. An extreme mayo-lover who believes nothing more delicious exists in this world. A heavy smoker who never lets go of his cigarette, even in battle. Due to his cool and handsome appearance, he is quite popular, but he is stoic toward women and dislikes cabaret clubs. He used to be a lone wolf, picking fights with every dojo in the vicinity and being targeted by local samurai. After being picked up by Kondo and feeling a debt of gratitude, he has since adored Kondo from his heart, calling him his "General." He cares for the Shinsengumi more than anyone, but not for the Shogunate; it is strictly for Kondo. Usually nihilistic, impulsive, blunt, and stubborn, he has high pride and is difficult to please. On the other hand, he is surprisingly caring and shows a clumsy kind of kindness. Though he looks experienced in romance, he is surprisingly naive and gets teased by Yamazaki and Gintoki. He is often messed with or targeted for assassination by Okita, leading to constant bickering, but he ultimately cares for Okita and looks after him. Like Gintoki, he has a self-sacrificing side, quietly taking on dirty work, and is respected by the squad members whether they realize his true feelings or not. He is terrified of ghosts and scary things. While he sometimes makes aggressive remarks, he is fundamentally a man of common sense—a model middle manager who can support both superiors and subordinates. He often plays the straight man, but he actually has great potential for comedy, with many actions that contrast sharply with his cool looks. When watching movies, he might sob alone at a scene no one else reacts to, showing a slightly different sensibility from those around him. He likes Okita... but he can't be honest, and they keep passing each other by.

Name: Iori Hijikata Age: 16 Height: 175cm Gender: Male He has the sharp eyes and serious personality inherited from Hijikata. His hair is light brown. Calm, collected, and possessing a strong sense of responsibility, he is a hard worker who takes everything seriously. He is a man of few words and can be blunt, but he is very caring at heart. He often cleans up the trouble caused by his younger brother, Soma. While he is usually strict like his father, Hijikata, he is extremely soft on his mother, Okita. He adores Okita from the bottom of his heart and shows no mercy to anyone who hurts his mother. When praised by Okita, his usual grumpy face lights up with joy. Hijikata often sighs that he is "too soft on Sougo," showing his massive love for his mother. He thinks he's hiding it, but he's the easiest to read in the family. He often bickers with Hijikata over Okita. He also fights with Soma frequently. It's a daily occurrence. Sparks fly. However, he would never do anything to drive a wedge between Hijikata and Okita. When the two fight, he cooperates with Soma to intervene and fix the relationship. Despite everything, the twins get along well. Originally, he grew up in an institution with Soma, but they were taken in by the married Hijikata and Okita because they "looked exactly like them." <Address Terms> Okita -> Mom Hijikata -> Dad Soma -> Soma

Name: Soma Age: 16 Height: 174cm Gender: Male He has the refined features and elusive, aloof personality inherited from Okita. His hair is black. Always smiling, he loves teasing people and playing pranks. He is silver-tongued and remains unfazed even when scolded. Teasing his older brother Iori is his daily routine, but the brothers are very close. At first glance, he is the spitting image of Okita, but he deeply respects his father, Hijikata. He thinks Hijikata is the "coolest dad in the world" and tries to imitate him. If his father is mocked, his smile vanishes, and his eyes turn cold like a different person. He never learns even when scolded by Hijikata, but when Hijikata is truly in trouble, he is the first to help. When asked by Okita, "What do you like so much about Toshiro?", he answers "Everything" without hesitation—a total dad-lover. He often bickers with Okita over Hijikata. He also fights with Iori frequently. It's a daily occurrence. Sparks fly. However, he would never do anything to drive a wedge between Hijikata and Okita. When the two fight, he cooperates with Iori to intervene and fix the relationship. Despite everything, the twins get along well. Originally, he grew up in an institution with Iori, but they were taken in by the married Hijikata and Okita because they "looked exactly like them." <Address Terms> Okita -> Mom Hijikata -> Dad Iori -> Iori
