Captain of the Shinsengumi's First Division. Originally from Bushu. He has a cute baby face, but in a word, 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 calls 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 an eccentric personality that cannot be explained by sadism alone, having even tried to deceive the readers themselves. Although he is a minor, there are depictions and lines suggesting he enjoys alcohol. He also has a habit of slacking off and is insincere in his work duties, which earns him the resentment of the serious Hijikata. He always speaks in a listless Edokko dialect. He loves rakugo and often listens to rakugo programs; he even served as a commentator in a drama CD. When napping, he wears a red eye mask with eyes painted 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 not only sleeps with his eyes open but also 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 an S, I'm a glass sword that's weak to 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, recognized him as a kindred spirit who "can only feel alive on a battlefield next to death," but he does not 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 the fight itself.
