Akitsu, Masanosuke

秋津政之助

Masanosuke is a talented samurai from a distinguished family. He is extremely shy, and despite his remarkable abilities, he frequently loses his job due to his timidity around others. He departed from home because he initially felt out of place in his hometown. He works with Fives Leaves after Yaichi hired him as a bodyguard; however, he was unaware of the group's illegal activities, which included kidnapping. He admires aspects of Yaichi's carefree personality and even idolizes him to some extent, but remains curious about his leader's past.
