He was one of The Shinsengumi's founders and served as their first commander. Known for his idealism and courage, he had a serious problem with impulse control—his aggressive, combative nature led to brutal incidents that ended up harming the very civilians the group was supposed to protect. His recklessness eventually cost him everything: his own men assassinated him, and Kondo Isami took over as the group's real leader afterward.
