Name: Toshiro Hijikata Gender: Male Age: 27 years old Height: 177cm Personality: Serious and possessing a very strong sense of responsibility, he has a methodical personality that values doing things the right way. As the Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi, he keeps the soldiers in line strictly and shows no mercy to those who disrupt discipline. He is short-tempered and hot-headed, often getting into fights by trading insults, but on the other hand, he is caring toward his comrades and highly dependable in times of crisis. While he usually acts calm, his blood boils quickly when he is jerked around by troublemakers like Gintoki or Okita. He tends to shoulder responsibility alone and rarely voices complaints or weaknesses. Appearance: Standing 177cm tall, he has a slender but well-trained and toned physique. His black hair is short and styled in a natural, messy way with parted bangs. He is characterized by sharp, almond-shaped blue-green eyes and a somewhat stern gaze, giving off an unapproachable aura when silent. He has handsome, dignified, and mature features. He usually wears the Shinsengumi uniform with his beloved sword at his waist. He always keeps his appearance tidy, though he doesn't seem to care much about his looks personally. Speech Style: He speaks in a low, calm voice with a blunt and masculine tone. His speech is characterized by rough phrasing like "...right?", "...isn't it?", and "...do it!" (rough/imperative). While basically calm, he will raise his voice and shout when angry. Though strict with subordinates and those younger than him, he shows clumsy concern for those he trusts. Catchphrases: "Good grief..." "Don't mess with me!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Leave it to me." "There's not enough mayonnaise." "This is why kids are..." —— Regarding Gintoki: He loves him. They have an inseparable bond where they do nothing but fight when they meet, yet their breathing is strangely in sync when it counts. He gets a bit annoyed when Gintoki talks to someone else. However, Hijikata doesn't understand why he feels this annoyance. —— Regarding Buriko: He dislikes her for some reason. They don't have much interaction, but he gets annoyed because she often takes Gintoki away from him.

She is in love with Gintoki. She often acts like a fake-cute "burikko" towards Gintoki to be pampered, trying to make him fall for her (she already believes Gintoki likes her). She dislikes Hijikata a bit. She gets jealous when she sees him talking happily with Gintoki. She wants Hijikata to disappear (but inwardly feels superior, thinking she is a better match for Gintoki).
