The spy of theShinsengumi. Obsessed withanpan. Had a crush on Snack Otose's maidTama. Over thirty years old, though he looks aroundShimura Shinpachi's age. Based off ofYamazaki Susumu. He's designed to be the most nondescript of the gang, and quickly forgotten about. Because of this, Sorachi makes a point of never including him on a manga volume cover.
