  Identity: Vice Captain of Shinsengumi, known as the Demon Vice Captain

  School: Tenryu Shinshin Ryu

  Introduction: Sasaki Kojirō, the Star of the Sengoku Period, was a master swordsman and strategist who was unparalleled in both his tactics and swordsmanship. Known as the "de facto leader" of the Shinsengumi, Sasaki's life was full of legend. Among all the heroes of the late Edo period, Sasaki, who stood over 5 feet 5 inches tall, was widely recognized as a beautiful man, second only to Ito Kashitaro in terms of looks. His command and organization were ruthless and merciless, striking fear into the hearts of his comrades, who revered him as a god. When enraged, he was truly terrifying, earning him the nickname "Hakuren no Oni" (Thin Cherry Blossom Demon) from Hijikata Toshizō. Later on, he fought to the end in accordance with Kondō Isami's will; the heroine, Sen, witnessed and recorded the entire process.

  Fuuma Senketsu - In the end, whether it's us Oni or the Shinsengumi, we're just a single grain of sand in this vast organization and the tide of the times.

  Identity: Western Ghost Tribe Assistant to Sa Mo

  School: None, a powerful BOSS-level character, only Rasetsu-ized Tofu can be mentioned in the same breath.

  Introduction: Normally has golden short hair and crimson eyes. When transformed into a demon, it becomes silver-haired with golden eyes, and horns grow on its forehead.

  Personality and purpose differ in different personal routes of the game. In other people's routes, he appears as a strong boss figure, and apart from being an enemy of the Shinsengumi due to his affiliation with Satsuma, there is also a goal of taking over Senhime. In Fuuma's route, however, he shows unexpected gentleness towards Senhime, appearing to be a man with a sense of responsibility and leadership.

  The leader of the Kazekiri clan, who rules over the western demons. He helps Sano because he once helped hide the demon tribe and wants to repay that favor. Kazekiri holds pride as a member of the demon tribe and has no good feelings towards humans (as mentioned in his thoughts: "Humans are foolish creatures. They proudly preach peace but behind their backs they yearn for conflict with others. That's why demons avoid contact with humans. I have no intention of getting involved in this era's wars again, nor do I want you to get involved" - referring to Senbontsuki). He plans to cut off all ties with humans after repaying Sano's favor and live a secluded life (in the game's Saito route, he instead wants to build a country for demons). During his battle with the Shinsengumi, he discovers Senbontsuki. Since Senbontsuki is a descendant of the Yuki family, who were the rulers of the eastern demons and were destroyed by humans because they refused to help them, and has pure-blooded demon blood, Kazekiri wants to obtain her, marry her, and thus repeatedly clashes with the Shinsengumi. He later becomes interested in the Shinsengumi, who persistently uphold their own beliefs.

  Fuuma despises the Rasetsu, thinking that they are "pseudo-objects" (magaemono) that are far inferior to the true Oni tribe. In the end, he acknowledges Tsuchigumo and Shinsengumi, and sends out the highest praise of "Usuzakura".

  Nan Yun Xun CV: Ito Yuzuki

  Senba's twin older brother, because in the oni tribe female oni can continue the bloodline and are extremely rare, is highly valued.

Nagado took Senba away, while he himself was taken in by the Tosa Nanke house and subjected to cruel treatment, causing his love for his sister to become twisted and turn into hatred towards Senba.

  Takada Kōji——A life as fleeting and beautiful as cherry blossoms

  Identity: Captain of the New Selection Group's First Unit, Genius Swordsman

  School: Tenryu Shinshin Ryu

  Todou Heisuke loves to play jokes and tease his teammates, and has a good relationship with Hijikata Toushirou. His hairstyle is also imitated from Hijikata. He likes to play with children and is exceptionally kind to them, earning their affection. He is often called "a child who never grew up" and has a pure and gentle side. However, when it comes to battle, he becomes extremely cold-blooded and ruthless, always putting the word "kill" on his lips when faced with missions. He sees himself as the "sword" that fights for Shinsengumi, even if he is afflicted with a terminal illness, he insists on living as a swordsman. For him, the meaning of existence in Shinsengumi is to eliminate the enemies of Hijikata Toushirou, whom he has respected and admired since childhood, and who is his driving force for progress and growth. His swordsmanship is naturally the best in Shinsengumi, and he takes his responsibility as the captain of the first unit very seriously.

  In the "Ikeda-ya incident", he coughed up blood and fainted, knowing that he had contracted tuberculosis, but kept it a secret from his comrades and continued to carry out his duties while ill. He also often showed a gentle and melancholic gaze after this, which made people's hearts ache despite his playful jokes with others.

  Saito Ichirou - A silent lone wolf, palms together, hundred ghosts night walking, wolf fangs appear.

  Identity: Captain of the 3rd Unit of the New Selection Group, left-handed master of Iaijutsu

  School: Muten no Ryo, Ittoryu; his swordsmanship was also among the best in the Shinsengumi.

  Saito is a supporter of Toudou, the most respected person in the team. He absolutely obeys the vice-captain's orders. Although he appears to be this way, he isn't completely speechless; he just speaks concisely and doesn't waste words. It's actually true that he hides his emotions deeply, which can easily be overlooked. Looking back, you'll realize that his presence is everywhere.

  He has a simple personality and easily believes what others say, such as in Tokudane drama where he easily believed the exaggerated efficacy of Ishida's medicine, and also hoped to receive it as a task reward in Momotaro.

  Natural airhead, Saito, who wore Western clothes for the first time and ended up buttoning them wrong, said "I'll re-button later..." after being reminded by Chizuru. He has an obstinacy that matches his age and a seriousness different from people of the same age; although he is the same age as Heihachi, he is not good at speaking compared to him.

  The greatest worry: "The changing times have made swords no longer useful, and the things he believed in may be abandoned by everyone overnight. What is the value of his existence?" This kind of question. Compared to the cruelty of the current situation, the loss of his soul was actually a heavier blow to him. Later, as a mole sent by the Tosa Domain, he followed Itō Kaisuke and left the Shinsengumi, secretly transmitting information. He then returned to the Shinsengumi and took command of the front lines in place of the heavily injured Hijikata. Later, he was moved by the Bushido spirit of the Aizu Domain and stayed with them to fight against the new government army.

He has a typical Edo personality, enjoying festivals as an Edokko (a child of Edo) and being at the forefront of a crowd with his sword drawn. He also excels in both academics and martial arts. Due to his free-spirited behavior nurtured from Edo, he is described as "having poor conduct but unyielding spirit". Rumors say that he is a short but handsome man. Later, along with Saitō Hajime, he left the Shinsengumi to follow Itō Kashitarō and returned after the Aburanokōji incident.

  Heisuke is a very outgoing kid, he expresses what's on his mind; so it's easy to understand. When Senba was working as an oiran, he clearly stated - I don't want you to dress like that and serve other men. (Aoi Sakura: Serve... ...)

  Harada Sanojō - My wish is to marry a wife and live a peaceful life. Position: Captain of the 10th Unit of the Shinsengumi

  School: Hozoin-ryu Kyujutsu

  Introduction: Easy to fight, poisonous tongue, also has a heavy human relationship, adhering to the righteousness... Compared with knives, more skilled in guns. Hidetoshi Yanada is known as the most "powerful" male protagonist in Usagi Drop; why do people say that? Because he is the only one who 'pushed down' Chise and held his son... Also because in his eyes, men exist to protect women, his wish is so simple, definitely a good husband. Gentle with women. A responsible man.
