Toshizo Hijikata

Hijikata Toshizo is a member of the ends and the arch-rival of Shimazu Toyohisa of the Drifters series.

Background
Hijikata Toshizo was once the feared “demon” vice commander of the Shinsengumi, an elite Japanese police force that patrolled the imperial capital of Kyoto in the nineteenth century. His pledge to protect the Tokugawaregime eventually cost him his life at the Battle of Hakodate, where he was shot to death. As an End, Hijikata can manifest ghostly images of his former comrades to cut down his enemies.

Apearance
Hijikata was once said to be taller than the average Japanese, and was very handsome. With shoulder-length black hair and steel-gray eyes, his face constantly holds a stoic and grim appearance.

Abilities
He has the ability to summon an army of his fallen comrades from within the Shinsengumi in spectral form, he is also an accomplished master swordsman with minimal knowledge of hand-to-hand combat.

Once holding the position as vice commander of the elite police, Hijikata holds great leadership skills as well as being a good tactician in the battlefield.
