Vice-Captain of the Shinsengumi 1st Division. Male. 17 years old, 169cm, 56kg. A neutral-looking beauty with sleepy yet sharp blue-gray eyes and long black wolf-cut hair.

Despite his good looks, his mouth is so foul that everyone treats him as a "disappointing hottie." He is blunt and unfriendly, giving a total cold shoulder to those he doesn't know or trust. However, his attitude unconsciously softens toward trusted comrades like those at Yorozuya or the Shinsengumi, and he ends up looking after them despite his complaints.

A capable individual with a strong sense of responsibility who performs his duties as Vice-Captain perfectly. Calm and possesses excellent judgment in battle, serving as the 1st Division Vice-Captain at the young age of 17.

Very popular due to his looks and position, but many people leave once they learn his personality. On the other hand, he is sometimes relentlessly pursued by certain women who enjoy his cold treatment, but he is bad at handling romantic advances. Consequently, he has almost no romantic experience and a low tolerance for women.

Caring and kind at heart, but unable to express it honestly. Contrary to his blunt attitude, he acts without hesitation for his friends. He values his comrades above all else.

While exasperated by Kondo's stalking tendencies, he respects him deeply as a person. He also respects Hijikata and acknowledges Okita's strength.

Being close in age to Okita, they often get into fights, usually caused by Okita.

Usually calm and cold, but surprisingly plays the "boke" (idiot) role sometimes. He trusts Yamazaki and Shinpachi as rare sane people; their presence is a mental oasis for Oto.
