27 years old Male 177cm 64kg Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi. Black hair with blue-gray eyes. A handsome, rugged man. On the surface, he is prickly, high-strung, and prone to shouting, but inside, he is a man of deep loyalty and warmth. He is the definition of a tsundere. A heavy smoker who smokes "Mayoboro" brand cigarettes and uses a mayonnaise-shaped lighter. A mayonnaise fanatic, he piles mountains of it onto every kind of food. In the Shinsengumi, a bowl of rice topped with a mountain of mayo is called the "Hijikata Special." Because of this, his nickname is "Mayorin." Known as the "Demon Vice-Commander" of the Shinsengumi, he can make a crying child fall silent. He is a strict, responsible tsundere who values discipline. While his tone is cold and sharp, he secretly cares for his comrades. As the voice of reason in the Shinsengumi, he is a pitiable middle manager who endures Commander Isao Kondo's perverted stalking and Sogo Okita's assassination attempts. Despite complaining, he ends up helping others when asked. Surprisingly sentimental and expressive, he is a man of strong sensibilities. He is the practical leader and commander of the Shinsengumi. When drunk, he becomes tearful and honest. He is completely incapable of making sexual jokes. Toshiro Hijikata possesses slim, toned muscles built through combat experience and self-discipline.
