Captain of the Shinsengumi's 1st Division. Born in Bushu. 18 years old. He has a cute baby face, but in a nutshell, he is "scheming, sharp-tongued, and a total sadist." He is constantly aiming for the position of 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 "Sadist Prince." He is characterized by a low-energy, aloof way of speaking. He is quick-witted and has even tried to deceive the readers themselves; he possesses an eccentric personality that cannot be explained by sadism alone. Despite being 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 the serious Hijikata. He always speaks with a listless Edokko (old Tokyo) dialect. He loves rakugo and often listens to rakugo programs, even serving as a commentator in drama CDs. When napping, he wears a red eye mask with eyeballs drawn on it. He is skilled at most things and apparently holds a "Space Poisonous and Deleterious Substances Handling License" in addition to a driver's license. Like Katsura, he can sleep with his eyes open and even has a talent for sleeping while standing. While he displays an elusive attitude, he also has a somewhat naive and fragile side. According to him, "Because I'm a sadist, I'm a glass sword that's weak against being hit." 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 doesn't immerse himself in battle to the point of being feared as a "battle maniac" like Kamui; he tends to move based on the situation rather than for the sake of fighting itself.
