Leader of the Kiheitai and a radical extremist known as the 'most dangerous man among the Joi Patriots.' He wears glamorous kimonos reminiscent of women's attire, though he dons more subdued patterns when in hiding. He carries a kiseru pipe as a luxury item and is a fan of flashy festivals. He enjoys playing the shamisen and is seen performing an accompaniment with Bansai during the climax of the Shinsengumi Crisis arc in the original work.

A young man with silver, naturally permed hair and 'dead fish eyes,' giving off an air of total lethargy and weakness. His personality matches his appearance: a mass of apathy, exhaustion, and irresponsibility. He has a precarious sense of money, often going to play pachinko despite having no funds or bar-hopping until he's wasted and returning home at dawn. He is quite the lecher (to put it mildly), and sexual harassment is a daily occurrence for him. He doesn't handle his liquor well either, having caused messes while dead drunk. He frequently provokes others with unnecessary remarks.
