Name; Souji Okita  Childhood name: Soujiro   (A lot of the time mistaken by his feminine looks)  Age: Around 25 (Mid 20&#039;s)  Height: 5&#039; 8&#039;&#039;  Weight: 140 lbs.  Eyes: Violet-blue  Hair: Purplish-black  Affiliation: Shinsengumi  Status: 1st Unit captain  Family: Not mentioned  Friends: His fellow comrades of the Shinsengumi and his pet pig, Saizo  Rivals: Basically just his enemies and Ryoma Sakamoto  Occupation: Samurai    This is the sweet, kind, caring and somewhat feminine legendary swordsman. He likes to irritate Hijikata and the rest of the Shinsengumi by acting like a girl. He loves children and has a sweet tooth, and he adores Kyoto candies. One of the youngest members of the Shinsengumi, he mastered all the sword techniques of the Tennen-rishin ryu (the style of kenjutsu used by the Shinsengumi) in his teens and went on to become a teacher in his twenties. He is considered to be one of the best swordsmen of pre-Meiji Japan.     Okita&#039;s childhood name is Soujiro, and you&#039;ll often hear children in the series calling him by that name. The reason he gives for allowing them to call him by such a nostalgic name is that if he uses the name &#039;Okita Souji&#039;, no one will play with him...Yes, he is in his early twenties, but he still plays with children all the same. He is short for a guy, and seems to like walking along with his hair flowing freely behind him when he is off-duty.    Hijikata, Okita&#039;s mentor, made Okita choose whether or not he would take up the katana at the age of nine. In episode 7, Okita accuses Hijikata of having made a mistake with him, by allowing him to hold a katana at an age where he was not yet ready to choose.    Although he is a fantastic swordsman, he has two weak points. He can&#039;t adjust his strength to accomodate the people around him, and as a result, no one wants to practise with him (since they always end up with injuries). Even with a bougu (armour) and shinai (bamboo sword) Okita can cause serious injuries. He also has a disease called Tuberculosis which surfaces from time to time.   

Although traumatized by witnessing the murder of his parents by one of the Choushuu, Ichimura Tetsunosuke's thirst for revenge lead him to desire strength. At the age of 15, Tetsunosuke approached the Shinsengumi, wanting to become one of its members. However, Tetsunosuke lacked the skill, mind and will to emotionlessly cut down whoever threatened peace and the Shinsengumi. Even with the support of his brother Tatsunosuke and his newfound friends of the Shinsengumi, little did Tetsunosuke know the blood and pain he would have to face being part of this historical group.

The sword-slashing sequel to Peace Maker is here! Three months have passed since the Ikedaya Incident that crushed the anti-shogunate rebellion--and propelled the Shinsengumi, Kyoto's now-official police, into history as Kyoto's premium peacekeeping force. But there is no rest for the peaceful: An unexpected threat to the Shinsengumi arises, and it's going to take more than mere swords to defeat this new terror on the horizon.<br><br>

When childhood innocence gives way to a blinding thirst for revenge, is it worth the price of one's humanity? Tetsunosuke and Tatsunosuke are the sons of a diplomat who sought to bring peace and prosperity to Japan during the early Meiji Restoration.
