Inui is a camouflage-wearing hand-to-hand fighter with a fighting style that mirrors Sanosuke's in terms of raw intelligence. He trained under Tatsumi, who led the ninja group that once tried to assassinate Hitokiri Battōsai. When Inui joins Enishi's Jinchū campaign, he claims it's out of loyalty to his fallen master—but really, he's just using Tatsumi's death as cover for what he actually wants: a chance to fight and prove how strong he is.
His signature gear is a pair of wrist gauntlets called tekkō, which he swears can deflect anything, bullets included. He relies on them heavily because he can't actually take hits well. Beneath the armor, Inui's combat technique is Jutsushiki Muteki-Ryu, a hybrid martial art that pulls from multiple styles. He's always running his mouth about being invincible and undefeated, but Sanosuke quickly sees through it—realizing the tekkō are basically a crutch that let Inui talk a big game while only fighting people he knows he can beat.
