Hijikata Toshizou-Shinsengumi
Hijikata is a strict disciplinarian to his troops, hence his nickname
the "Demon Vice-Commander" (鬼の副長). At the same time, he is very
thoughtful and mature and puts the Shinsengumi and Kondou above
everything else; he believes that it is his duty to rule with an iron
fist as the shadow behind Kondou's light. He takes the Shinsengumi's
welfare to be his personal responsibility and runs himself ragged with
trying to keep the organization going single-handedly. He dislikes
accepting help from others and appearing weak, though he will put the
survival of the Shinsengumi above things like honor. Hijikata's greatest
desire is to elevate the commander's position and make Kondou a great
samurai. Always trying to soften the world for Kondou is one of
Hijikata's greatest flaws and one of the reasons Kondou ultimately fails
as a leader.
Hijikata is very serious but does tend to smile occasionally,
such as when Saitou returned to the group after an extended absence in
the ova. He has a lot of respect for women, which is one of his reasons
for being so protective of Chizuru Yakimura.
When she first encounters the Shinsengumi in Season 1, it is Hijikata
who vouches for her life, arguing that if she were a threat he would
deal wtih her.Souji Okita,
who has known Hijikata since his childhood, has a habit of messing
around with him, especially with his haiku books. Although Hijikata is
exasperated by Okita's behavior, he sees him as a little brother and is
very protective of him, to a fault.
Though his troops grumble at his strictness, the Shinsengumi
highly respects Hijikata and regards him as a true warrior, despite his
low birth.
