Age: 18 Height: 170cm Weight: 58kg He has a cute baby face, but in a word, he is "black-hearted, foul-mouthed, and a total sadist." He is constantly aiming for the position of Shinsengumi Vice-Commander and Hijikata's life. Due to his extreme sadism, Hijikata has dubbed him the "Prince from the Planet Sadistic," and he has even been featured in newspapers as the "Sado Prince." He is characterized by a low-energy, aloof way of speaking. He is quick-witted and has even tried to deceive the readers within the story, possessing an eccentric personality that cannot be explained by sadism alone. Although he is a minor, there are depictions and lines suggesting he enjoys alcohol. He also has a habit of slacking off and a lazy attitude toward his duties, which earns him resentment from Hijikata, who is his polar opposite in terms of seriousness. He always speaks in a listless Edo dialect. He is an avid listener of Rakugo and seems to listen to Rakugo programs often, even serving as a commentator in drama CDs. When taking naps, he wears a red eye mask with eyes drawn on it. He is skilled at most things and reportedly holds a "Space Poisonous and Deleterious Substances Handling License" in addition to his driver's license. Like Katsura, he not only sleeps with his eyes open but also has a talent for sleeping while standing. He possesses the peculiar ability to make women fall for him in a short time, training them to swear absolute obedience as his servants; perhaps because of this, he is also incredibly good at dating sims. While he displays an elusive attitude, he also has a somewhat naive and fragile side. According to him, "Because I'm an S, I'm a fragile glass sword." He has a bellicose personality and shows a level of motivation in combat that is unimaginable from his daily work attitude. Kamui, who faced him, identified him as a kindred spirit, saying he "can only feel alive on a battlefield next to death," but he isn't so immersed in battle that he is feared as a "battle maniac" like Kamui; rather, he tends to move based on the situation rather than the fight itself. On the other hand, he isn't just a problem child; he possesses a sense of justice, such as requesting the Yorozuya to take down the Purgatorium, an illegal underground fighting arena, showing he isn't a bad person at heart. When this sense of justice was glimpsed, even Shinpachi, who viewed Okita as a nuisance, re-evaluated him, saying, "I didn't know that person had such a sense of justice." He holds the conviction of "not letting the things that shouldn't be defiled get dirty," a view visible only through his own tainted eyes, and he is willing to get his own hands dirty and even be despised as a murderer to protect that.

Age: 27 Height: 177cm Weight: 64kg Birthday: May 5th Blood Type: A The Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi. A feared number two known within the corps as the "Demon Vice-Commander" and the "Brains of the Shinsengumi." He is the most popular man in the Shinsengumi and has good looks, but his pupils are always somewhat dilated. He has short black hair (black with a green tint in the anime). Someone once remarked that he looks like he'll have an M-shaped receding hairline in the future. He is incredibly proud, serious, and cool-headed. He is a relatively common-sense person in the story and handles the straight-man roles. While he has a blunt and stubborn attitude, he is also caring and shows a clumsy kind of kindness. Because he deals with problem children both above and below him, he is good at following up, to the point of being called "Follow-kata Toshi-follow." Rare for a serious character, he is blunt and rarely uses polite language even with superiors, though he does use it with Tokugawa Shigeshige and students on field trips. When it comes to games, he is a die-hard Bentendo fan and a Mario fan. Also, despite being from Jump, he is an avid reader of Weekly Shonen Magazine and likes old-school delinquent manga. He even included a clause in the Kyokuchu Hatto (Station Code) that says "Reading manga other than Magazine inside the headquarters is forbidden," which is clearly a mixing of public and private interests. He is one of the few in the Shinsengumi who is relatively clean, doing things like "washing his hands after going to the toilet." He also has a sentimental side and has cried while watching "Tonari no Pedro" or "Alien vs. Yakuza" at scenes where the reason for crying is completely unknown. Tobacco He is such a heavy smoker that he becomes extremely emotionally unstable and turns into a dangerous person when deprived of nicotine. When a smoking ban was issued within the Shinsengumi, he went as far as going into space to find cigarettes. After throwing himself into a fierce battle over the Slippery Balls and vowing to "quit smoking," he apparently failed and continues to smoke. There were episodes afterward where he tried to quit, but it is unknown if he managed to stop by the final chapter. Mayonnaise He is an extreme "mayoller" who not only believes there is nothing more delicious than mayonnaise but thinks it should be poured on everything for the time being. In most cases, he continues to pour mayonnaise until the original food is invisible, calling it a "Hijikata Special" (which Okita calls "dog food"), and the resulting bowl looks like nothing more than a giant serving of soft-serve ice cream. He seems to be somewhat aware that it falls under the category of "bizarre food," though...

Age: 28 (29 in the anime) Height: 184cm Weight: 80kg Birthday: September 4th Blood Type: A The Commander of the Shinsengumi. Originally from Bushu. He is also the stalker of Tae Shimura, Shinpachi Shimura's older sister. He is often called a "gorilla" by Gintoki, Kagura, Shinpachi, and Otae, and in episode 185 of the anime, even Hijikata almost called him a gorilla. Perhaps becoming self-aware, he has started calling himself a gorilla frequently. He was once nearly forced into marriage with a princess of the Shojo race, who are gorilla-like Amanto, and has even literally turned into a gorilla. On the other hand, he has the caliber to gather jobless ruffians, form the Shinsengumi, and lead them as Commander, and in reality, he is respected by his men. Also, because he tends to trust others completely, he sometimes gets deceived, resulting in personal loss or danger. However, even when he finds out he was tricked, he isn't surprised and is the type of person who doesn't hold a grudge.
