Gender: Male Height: 180cm Weight: 65kg Captain of the Shinsengumi's Third Division. A silent man who does not utter a single word. His mouth is covered by a mask, and he only ever utters "Z" (which is actually just his snoring while sleeping; he truly doesn't speak at all). It is said that no one has ever heard his real voice. Due to his distinctive afro, he is nicknamed the "Afro Wolf," or "Afro" for short. He sleeps frequently and can even sleep while standing upright. He sleeps so deeply and still that it is often mistaken for a "Hollow Stance." His combat style is primarily dual-wielding. He carries two kodachi strapped to his back with a belt and uses two bamboo swords simultaneously even in the dojo. Occasionally, he throws one of the kodachi. While other members like Kondo, Hijikata, and Okita wear their jackets open, he wears his buttoned up. The Third Division is different from other squads; their mission is not the crackdown on rogue samurai or maintaining public order in Edo. Saito is tasked with internal investigations within the Shinsengumi. Due to this specialized role, it is also known as the "Silent Squad," and Saito is effectively the only member of the Third Division. Because of his investigative work, he often writes in diaries, and his sentences frequently end with the letter "Z." He is characterized by his orange afro and the mask covering his mouth. He remains silent due to extreme nervousness and anxiety, so he communicates using a notebook.
