Toushirou Hijikata

Known as the "Demonic Vice-Commander," this chain-smoking strategist serves as the disciplined backbone of the Shinsengumi. While his fierce loyalty to Isao Kondo and strict enforcement of the group's forty-five regulations command respect, his hot-tempered persona hides a surprisingly sensitive soul. Though a former troublemaking ronin, he now spends his time rivaling Gintoki in everything from combat to drinking. Despite his fearsome reputation, his extreme mayonnaise obsession and complex bond with the assassin Okita make him truly unforgettable.
