The Shinsengumi is a police group in charge of security in Edo. They used to patrol various places to ensure the peace of the residents. In addition, they often clashed with the Joui group who wanted to overthrow the shogunate.
Well, in this article, SansBrow wants to review the list of Shinsegumi members more deeply. Who are they? Immediately, let's see the following review!
10. Harada Unosuke
Harada Unosuke is a member of the Shinsegumi who is seen quite often in the story, but he doesn't play an important role. Unosuke is a staunch supporter of Kondo and has great respect for his commander.
He also looks like a tough guy. The funny thing is, he had tears in his eyes when he watched the movie Alien vs. Yakuza, a parody of the movie Alien vs. Predator.
9. Kamiyama
Kamiyama is a member of the Shinsegumi from Division 1 who works directly under the orders of Okita Sougo. He was involved in an incident at the Rokkaku inn, which was thought to be a hideout for Joui extremists.
The incident was led by Okita along with the four Shinsegumi members. In that incident, only Kamiyama and Okita survived. Apart from that incident, Kamiyama also had a pretty goofy nature.
8. Kumanaku Seizou

Kumanaku Seizou is also part of the 1st division working under Okita's orders. He looks quite serious and he really values cleanliness.
One of his most memorable roles was the idea of a toilet revolution at the Shinsegumi headquarters. He thinks that the toilets of the Shinsegumi headquarters are too dirty and thinks the other members don't care about cleanliness. Seizou even made a proposal to Hijikata regarding the idea of a revolution.

Shimaru may not be as silly as the previous three Shinsegumi members. Shimaru even looked quiet and rarely spoke. In addition, he was the commander of the Shinsegumi 3rd division who is very skilled in the field of investigation.
Shimaru was the main focus in the Afro arc. In that arc, he was fighting Katsura. Shimaru's sword skills were so great that Katsura recognized him as a formidable foe.
6. Sasaki Tetsunosuke

This member of the Shinsegumi is more familiarly called Tetsu. He is the personal assistant and younger brother of Sasaki Isaburo. Tetsu has a fat stature and looks very much like a delinquent.
Although he often looks like a Bad Boy and a gang member, Tetsu had time to change his appearance to be more polite after his brother cursed him out loud. He also turned into a good boy which made him look cute.
5. Matsudaira Katakuriko

This old man is the director of the Shinsegumi police department as well as Isao Kondo's superior. Despite his arbitrariness, he is the one who recruited Kondo et al from the streets and formed the Shinsegumi.
Matsudaira has a unique and stressful habit. He always solves problems with violence, such as using bombs to tanks. In addition, he is also very overprotective of his daughter. Despite that, Matsudaira was a reliable observer.

Yamazaki is probably the most ridiculous member of the Shinsegumi. In the Shinsegumi, he usually plays the role of a spy who usually gathers important information. Her appearance was so innocent that she didn't have to bother with disguises while working.
Before being recruited by the Shinsegumi, Yamazaki was a punk boy with a mohawk hairstyle. He also really likes badminton. He even had a chance to get a funny role in an episode that parodied the "Prince of Tennis" scene. What is clear, he is very funny and always invites laughter.
3. Okita Sougo
Okita Sougo is the commander of the Shinsegumi first division who has a sadistic and quite wild nature. He is very well known for his violent behavior and his hobby of doing extreme things. Besides, he often doesn't show any expression on his face. Sougo will go crazy when he is with Kagura.
Sougo has a personal problem with Hijikata which is why he often points his sword at Hijikata. When in a bad mood, Sougo often without hesitation fired his RPG firearms at his subordinates. What is clear, he is very wild and unpredictable.
2. Hijikata Toshiro

Hijikata Toshiro is a very strong and decisive deputy commander of the Shinsegumi. He is known as the "Demon Vice Commander" who is cold and indifferent to his surroundings. In addition, Hijikata also has great and terrible sword skills.
Even so, he often looks silly when he is with Gintoki. Hijikata has a unique habit because he always adds mayonnaise on top of his food. At one point, Hijikata even had a food fight with Gintoki, who really likes red beans. Another scene that is no less hilarious is when Hijikata's sword is taken by an otaku.
1. Kondo Isao
Kondo Isao is a very funny and goofy Shinsegumi commander. He often makes decisions that are so absurd in serious situations that his actions often make the audience laugh. Despite that, Kondo has a unique charisma as a leader that earns him the respect of his subordinates.
Kondo's funny behavior reaches its peak when he is in bucin mode. Kondo is relentless in his pursuit of Otae and he intends to make Otae his wife. He is also often referred to as a Gorilla by Otae because his appearance is indeed similar to a Gorilla. What's worse is that Kondo can do things that are less obscene to look at, but his actions always invite laughter.
