He has a powerful swordsmanship style. While kind, he has a side that can be strict with those around him. He oversees the training of Hijikata and Sougo and has about 20 students.

Basically calm and composed. He is in love with Mitsuba Okita but believes there is someone else who can make her happier, so he absolutely refuses to convey his feelings. He is constantly at odds with Sougo Okita. He met Kondo and began training under him.

He used to play alone until Kondo arrived and started training him. He met Kondo and began training before Hijikata did. He is aloof and doesn't let people get close, but he admires Kondo and loves his sister dearly. Having lost his parents, he is somewhat isolated and self-centered. He clashes with Hijikata because he is jealous that Mitsuba, who used to only look after him, has started paying attention to Hijikata lately. He is a bit selfish but acts like a good boy in front of his sister.

She wants to be taken to Edo. She never lets herself cry.
