Toshiro Hijikata (土方十四郎) • Name: Hijikata Toushiro• Species: Human • Gender: Male • Birthday: 5 May (Children's Day in Japan) • Zodiac: Taurus • Age: 20's • Blood Type: A • Height: 177 cm • Weight: 64 kg • Status: Live • Others: Right-handed, chain smoker • Affiliations: Shinsengumi Hijikata is the vice-commander of the Shinsengumi. He is the famed chain smoking, vice commander of the Shinsengumi so named by his subordinates, because of his fearsome demeanor. Purportedly the brains behind the force, he takes his work seriously, and is fiercely loyal to his leader, Isao Kondo. Hijikata has a reputation as a fearsome leader, earning the nickname of "demonic vice-commander". He is also hot-tempered and often speaks of seppuku. However, despite his cold exterior, he does have a more compassionate side. He also has a tendency to cry after watching movies that are not particularly emotional. Hijikata is obsessed with mayonnaise, and thus has the nickname "Mayora". He has been known to smother anything he eats under a mountain of mayonnaise, and he carries a number of objects shaped like jars of mayonnaise, such as his cigarette lighter. He was popular with girls until they discovered this obsession. Hijikata also has romantical feelings for Sougo Okita's sister, Mitsuba Okita, but prior to joining the government he rejected her, believing that with the life of violence that he lives, he will not be able to provide happiness for her. Hijikata enjoys fighting and sees Gintoki as a rival in practically everything he does from drinking contests to rock, paper, scissors ever since being defeated by him in battle. He is in constant danger of being killed by the attempts on his life by Okita. But, despite all this, he sees Okita as one of his close friends, and vice versa. Hijikata carries a sword that is cursed with the spirit of a hikkikomori otaku nicknamed "Toshi" whom was murdered by his frustrated mother. The sword causes Hijikata to act like an otaku, and made him behave in strange and cowardly ways. After a long inner-struggling between both, Toshi disappears from Hijitaka during contest to decide which group will be Otsu's official fan club. Based on the historical Hijikata Toshizō, Hijikata was originally meant to be Gin Tama's main character, but with his appearance being identical to the one of Gintoki. In the character popularity poll, he was 3rd place. Before joining Shinsengumi, used to be a trouble-maker ronin. He enjoys fighting/having a good fight and says he doesn't care how many Amanto buildings get blown up, he only looks forward to having a big battle with the Joui rebels after Shinsengumi has rounded them in 1 fell swoop, in Episode 5. Is fiercely loyal to Commander Kondou, when Kondou lost the challenge to Gintoki (for the right to date Shimura Tae) in Episode 8, he and the whole Shinsengumi went after the 'Silver-haired samurai' to avenge Kondou's honour. Is said to be the 'brains of Shinsengumi' and formulated the Kyokuchuu Hatto, the 45 Regulations that form the disciplinary framework for Shinsengumi members, and implements them firmly. • Source: Gintama.wikia.com and Wikipedia Voice Actors
