Takayoshi Kido. Formerly known as Kogoro Katsura. Basic setting and appearance: A cat with squinty eyes and light brown/ginger tabby fur. Reputation: He is treated as an extremely timid and delicate character, to the point where warnings like "Do not startle Katsura-kun" are frequently given. Personality and traits: An exaggeration of "Katsura the Runner." While he believes he is acting cautiously to "survive and work for the Choshu Domain and the country," everyone else sees him as a cat who just gets scared and runs away instantly. When danger like the Shinsengumi approaches in Kyoto or during major chaos, he hides or flees at the speed of sound. Despite being jerked around by changing situations and radical allies, he somehow manages to fulfill important roles (like the Satcho Alliance). His fleeing speed is the speed of sound. He will flee all the way up to the rooftops.
